Calendar by technician and room
Day, week and technician views. Drag to move a booking. Rooms and tables can be booked with the person, so the massage room is never double-booked.
Why nail salons need a turn tracker, not just a calendar
Half or more of a busy nail salon's clients can be walk-ins. A calendar handles booked clients; the turn tracker decides who takes the next walk-in so work and tips are shared fairly. GetSpaPOS runs both from one screen and knows when a technician's next booking starts.
How the turn list runs a Saturday.
- 1
Technicians clock in, the turn list builds itself
Clock-in order becomes turn order, or you set the order by hand. Late arrivals join at the end. Technicians on a booked appointment are skipped for walk-ins until they are free.
- 2
A walk-in arrives
The front desk taps Add walk-in, picks the service, and sees who is next and free. One more tap assigns the client and starts the service timer.
- 3
Bookings and walk-ins share one calendar
Booked clients show on the calendar with their technician and length. The turn list knows when each technician's next booking starts, so a 60-minute pedicure is never given to someone booked in 20 minutes.
- 4
Turns are counted the way you count them
A full turn per client, a half turn for a polish change, or turns by ticket value. Requests (a client who asks for Mai by name) can count or not, your rule.

Close the day with a record
Turns, services and sales per technician for the day are saved, so the next morning starts fair and any dispute has an answer.

Salon ownerWhat is a turn list in a nail salon?
GetSpaPOSA turn list is the queue that decides which technician takes the next walk-in client. Most nail salons rotate turns so work is shared fairly. GetSpaPOS keeps that list on the front desk screen and updates it as technicians finish, so nobody has to track it on a whiteboard.
-
Salon ownerCan clients book online?
GetSpaPOSYes. Your online store page, built from your service menu, can take booking requests, and the managed website includes a booking button. Bookings land on the same calendar the front desk uses.
-
Salon ownerHow does GetSpaPOS handle a client who requests a technician?
GetSpaPOSAssign the requested technician directly. You choose whether a request counts as a turn for that technician, which keeps things fair when one tech has many regulars.
-
Salon ownerCan a polish change count as half a turn?
GetSpaPOSYes. Set turn value per service: 1 for most services, 0.5 for small ones, or base turns on ticket value. The turn list uses those values to decide who is next.
-
Salon ownerDo clients get appointment reminders?
GetSpaPOSYes, booking notifications can be sent to the client. With the Salon Bundle, the included GHL snapshot also runs reminder and rebooking texts and no-show follow-ups.
-
Salon ownerCan a spa book rooms as well as staff?
GetSpaPOSYes. A booking can hold a room (or table) and a staff member at the same time, which matters for massage and facial rooms that cannot be double-booked.
-
Salon ownerWhat happens when a technician goes on break?
GetSpaPOSMark them on break and they leave the turn list without losing their place. When they come back, they return to the position they had.
-
Salon ownerDoes the turn list work on a phone?
GetSpaPOSYes. GetSpaPOS runs in a browser, so the turn list works on the front desk tablet, an owner's phone or a computer. Each technician can see the list from their own phone too.
-
Salon ownerCan I see how many turns each technician had last week?
GetSpaPOSYes. Turns, services and sales per technician are kept for every day, and you can filter by date range.
-
Salon ownerCan I keep my current booking app?
GetSpaPOSYou can, but you lose the link between the booking, the ticket and the commission. Most salons move their bookings into GetSpaPOS during setup; we help import upcoming appointments.
