Inspiration does not define the service scope
A reference image may involve length, removal or art work that takes more preparation than the client expects. Agree the service and commercial boundaries before promising the time.
Software for independent nail technicians
Give your own book of clients room to breathe.
When you handle the messages, prepare the station and do the service yourself, admin can fill the gaps between appointments. Keep the design agreement, realistic visit time and final bill together without making every break another search through messages.

The everyday details
You know the work.
The admin adds up.
Your buffer is also your reset time
Cleaning the station, answering a message and preparing products all compete with the next arrival. An apparently open diary slot may not be enough room for another full service.
Small purchases accumulate between appointments
Files, tips, brushes and art supplies can be bought in separate trips. Without receipts and a cost review, it is difficult to judge which services leave room for business expenses.
How Microtra helps
Keep the business connected.
Use the tools that fit your day, with your records ready on your phone or on the web.
Describe the design you actually agreed
Prepare estimates or saved invoice items for the base service, removal, approved repairs and additional art. Use your own checked prices and explain any change before it reaches the finished bill.
Explore this featureChoose a duration you can deliver
Set services with duration and buffers, then create the booking inside the app. Review conflict checks and your availability before confirming directly, leaving room for setup and station reset.
Explore this featureGive supply purchases a record
Save expenses with receipt photos for products and consumables. Review spending against service income and outstanding invoices rather than judging the business by the number of client photos in your portfolio.
Explore this featureRemember the business conversation
Keep client contacts, suitable administrative notes and invoice history together. Use the appointment notes for agreed work while following your own consultation and professional product procedures for the service itself.
Explore this featureA day in the life
From the first quote to paid.
Discuss the requested look
Clarify removal, shape, length and the art scope through your professional consultation. Turn the commercial agreement into a recognizable service description before offering a time.
Reserve your working space
Check the service duration and buffer against your other commitments. Confirm the appointment directly and prepare the products using your own station checklist.
Agree additions before doing them
If a client requests another repair or a more involved design, explain the change and update the invoice details. Keep the appointment record aligned with the approved work.
Finish the bill and reset
Share the invoice PDF through the device and record payment received elsewhere. Save supply receipts and leave the planned gap for clearing the station before the next arrival.
