Do I have to pay extra for the automated messaging features?

No. Selena, Chloe, and Ivy are included in every subscription, not an upsell. Your plan includes 200 automated client text messages and $50 of assistant usage per month, comfortably covers a single-location studio, and if you go over we never cut off service: the overage is just billed automatically to your subscription.

What does it cost to start?

$10 a month while Buffed is in beta, and $20 a month once the beta closes. There is no free trial: you pay from day one, and the beta price is what you pay for being in early while the last rough edges get fixed. Cancel any time.

Can I move my existing website onto Buffed?

Yes. Every plan includes a fully managed custom domain, including help moving an existing domain over to Buffed.

Is this built for nail techs specifically, or generic salon software?

Built around fills and gel-x, not squeezed into someone else's salon software. Service logic, consultation notes, and inspo photo booking are all designed around how nail appointments actually work.

How it works

The whole system, not just a calendar.

Set up your studio

Add your services, staff, hours, and your real gallery in a few minutes. Connect Stripe so deposits go straight to your own account. Buffed never touches your money.

They call, and someone picks up

Your studio gets its own number, answered by a receptionist you name. They know your menu and what is really open, they book the appointment on the call, and they text the client a link to pay the deposit. The call you would have missed becomes a booking.

Selena answers the ones who never call

Plenty of clients would rather type than talk. Selena chats on your booking page and answers your texts, day or night, with real answers from your own services, prices and hours, and holds the slot the moment someone is ready.

Chloe handles the admin

Reschedule a client, check inventory, or look up an appointment just by telling Chloe in plain language, in whatever language you speak. No spreadsheets, no midnight scheduling.

Answering, and everything after

Your phone, finally answered.

A missed call is a client who calls the next studio. Selena, Chloe and Ivy come included and take it from there.

Yours, not ours

The one you name yourself.

A real number for your studio, answered by someone you name, in a voice you pick. They know your menu and what is really open, book the appointment on the call, and text the client a link to pay their deposit.

· You choose the name, the voice, and how they answer the phone
· Books real appointments on the call, in whatever language the caller speaks
· $2 a month for the number, 30 cents a minute of talk time. One booked call covers the number for years

Ask us for a number and we set it up for you.

For clients

Selena

The client who will not call. Selena chats on your booking page and answers your texts, day or night, from your own real services, prices and hours, and holds the slot the instant someone is ready to book.

· Real answers on services, pricing, and availability. No "let me check and get back to you"
· Included on every plan. Web chat and two-way text, 24/7
· Talks with clients in their own language, not just English

Admin assistant

Chloe

Stop doing your own scheduling at midnight. Just tell her what you need, in your own language. Reschedule a client, check inventory, or look up an appointment.

· Reschedules bookings and adjusts inventory on command
· Included on every plan. Even more useful once you grow a team
· Every action is logged so you can always see what she did

Growth advisor

Ivy

Stop guessing what's actually working. Ivy watches your bookings, your rebooking rate, and the slow spots on your calendar, then tells you the specific moves worth making instead of leaving you to dig through a dashboard.

· Flags real trends in your bookings and rebooking rate, not just raw numbers
· Included on every plan, right alongside Selena and Chloe
· Surfaces a yearly revenue report and the exact days worth promoting

FAQ

Questions, answered.
