Every other booking software was built for appointment-only businesses. TurnBook was built from scratch for the walk-in turn-based workflow that defines Vietnamese nail salons. Walk-ins and appointments. One queue. One system.
What Is TurnBook
Every salon management tool on the market — Vagaro, Fresha, NailSoft, Zota — was built for appointment-only businesses. They force a walk-in salon to fit into a model that was never designed for them. TurnBook was built from scratch specifically for the turn-based walk-in workflow that defines Vietnamese nail salons. Walk-ins and appointments exist in the same queue, managed by the same rotation, tracked in the same system. And when it's deployed for your salon, it isn't a generic install — it's configured from the ground up to match your technicians, your services, your turn rules, and exactly how you already run your floor.
The Queue
Walk-ins check in at the kiosk. Appointments arrive and check in. Both land in the same queue. The system handles assignment — either to the next available tech or to a requested tech — and tracks turn counts automatically.
Live queue — walk-ins and appointments unified
Turn Rotation
The turn order panel shows every technician's current status, their turn count, and who they're currently with. The system tracks who is available, with a client, on break, or almost done — and surfaces the next up automatically.
Turn order — live status for every technician
Appointments Calendar
The calendar shows the full day across all technicians — who has what, when, and for how long. Stats at the bottom track total appointments, confirmed, completed, and hours booked in real time.
Calendar — full day across all technicians
Appointment Management
The appointments list shows every booking grouped by day with full details — client name, service, time, phone number, assigned technician, and confirmation status. Edit or cancel with one tap.
Appointments — grouped by day with full detail
Staff Booking
Staff can book five different appointment types from one panel. Single appointments, group bookings, walk-in queue entries, recurring appointments, or schedule blocks. Services show duration and price. Four steps, done.
Booking — service selection with duration and price
Client Database
TurnBook builds a client database automatically. Every person who books or walks in gets added. Visit history, return rate, and average visits tracked per client. New clients flagged automatically.
Client database — visit history built automatically
Waitlist
When the salon is at capacity, clients go on the waitlist instead of walking out. Their service and tech preference are saved. When a slot opens, one tap notifies them. No phone calls. No manual tracking.
Waitlist — nobody leaves without being captured
Smart Review Funnel
After every appointment, clients rate their experience. 4-5 stars get sent to Google automatically. 3 stars and under stay internal — the owner sees them privately and can respond before they damage the public rating.
Review funnel — 289 sent to Google, 23 caught privately
Settings
Choose between Standard — every client counts as one full turn — or Request = 0.5, where requested clients count as half a turn. Configurable to match how your salon has always operated.
Add technicians, set the services they can and cannot do, configure working hours per day, and manage part-time schedules. The system respects every restriction automatically when assigning clients.
Each technician's schedule is configured individually. Part-time staff only show as available during their actual working hours. The system never offers a booking slot when a tech isn't there.
Live In The Salon
TurnBook kiosk on an iPad at the front of the salon. TurnBook dashboard on the front desk monitor. Walk-ins check in themselves. Staff manage the turn rotation from the screen. Everything running from day one.
Live setup — real salon — kiosk and dashboard running
No Proprietary Hardware
TurnBook runs in a browser. Any iPad becomes the kiosk. Any monitor becomes the dashboard. Any tablet becomes the booking screen. You buy your own devices or use what you already have — we configure everything to work on it. No locked-in hardware. No equipment contracts. No $2,000 POS terminal you don't own.
This is a fundamental difference from every competitor. Zota, NailSoft, AIO Merchant all require their hardware. TurnBook works on yours.
Client Experience
Clients interact with TurnBook through a clean, simple interface — either the in-salon kiosk for walk-ins or the online booking page for appointments. No app download. No account required. Just walk in or book in seconds.
Why TurnBook Exists
Vagaro, Fresha, and every other booking tool on the market assumed that all salons run on appointments. Vietnamese nail salons don't. They run on walks-ins, turns, rotations, and a chaotic-but-functional system that no software has ever respected. TurnBook is the first system built from the inside — by someone who grew up in nail salons — that actually handles how the floor operates.
TurnBook is included in every Amori Agency client build and configured specifically for each salon — not a standardized install, but shaped around the owner's technicians, services, and existing floor system. It is not available as standalone software.
