Made for nail salons

Online booking.Check-in kiosk.Text reminders.Scheduling.Setup in 5 minutes.

A guest checks herself in on the kiosk's Welcome screen, on an iPad by the door of a nail salon, while a technician, a few steps away, carries on with another guest's manicure

Guests book online and check themselves in on an iPad you already own. You run the whole day from an iPad or any browser.

The day, on the iPad or the web

Find a free technician in one tap.

Walk-ins and appointments sit in one list beside the book, so you always know who's waiting, who's next and who's late.

  • Guests seated faster, with every free technician offered the moment a guest is ready
  • Plan the next hour, with busy technicians showing when they'll be free
  • No chair sits empty, with late guests and no-shows flagged

The iPad check-in kiosk

Guests check themselves in.

Walk-ins and appointments check in on the iPad, see an honest wait, and show up on your list the same moment.

  • No more “how long?” at the desk, with wait times worked out from your real chairs and technicians
  • No crowd at the door, with a text that gives walk-ins a live link to their place in line
  • Never overrun, with walk-ins paused by your own message when the salon is full

Questions salon owners ask us

Still wondering? Write to hello@inpops.com.

What happens when my 30 days end?

Nothing is charged, because we never asked for a card. Your salon stays readable; to keep taking bookings you subscribe from inside the app.

Do my guests need an app or an account?

No. They book from a link with a name and a mobile number. Everything else arrives by text.

Does InPops have a check-in kiosk for walk-ins?

Yes. It's a free iPad app. Walk-ins tap in their name and party, see a wait time worked out from your real chairs and technicians, and get a text with a link to their place in line.

Which iPad do I need?

Any iPad from 2018 or newer (it needs iPadOS 17 or later), for the kiosk and for running the salon. A stand is optional.

Do I need a computer, or does the iPad do it all?

Either. The InPops app runs the whole salon on an iPad: the day, walk-ins, guests and settings. The same salon is at app.inpops.com in any browser. Setting up and billing are on the web.

Can one iPad be the kiosk and the salon?

One at a time. Switch to kiosk hands it to the door; a four-digit staff passcode brings it back. Most salons keep one iPad at the door and run the day on another, or on a laptop.

How is InPops different from Booksy or Vagaro?

One flat price for the whole salon instead of a fee per technician or per calendar, the check-in kiosk included instead of an add-on, unlimited texts, no commission on any booking, and one iPad app that is both the salon and the check-in kiosk.

Do you take a commission on bookings?

No, never. Not on bookings from your link and not on guests who find you through InPops.

Are texts really unlimited?

Yes, on a plan. Every confirmation, reminder and waitlist text your salon sends is included in the price. The free trial includes 1,000 texts.

Do you take a percentage of card payments?

We don't process payments at all. Keep the card reader you have. Your price is the price.

What if I have two salons?

Each extra salon is $149 a month on the same bill, with its own booking link, kiosk and day. The free trial is for one salon; adding a second starts your plan for both.

Can I take my data with me?

Yes. Export your guests and bookings as a spreadsheet from Settings at any time, and nothing is deleted unless you close the account.
