Here are the “Must Haves” for nail salon web templates:
Visually Supports your Brand
Your website should instantly capture the vibe of your salon. Whether you’re going for chic and modern, cozy and natural, or bold and glamorous, your nail salon website design should match your brand.
Look for templates that offer:
Customizable colors, fonts and layouts
Space for high-quality images and a portfolio or gallery page
Clean design without clutter, abundant white space and well structured layouts
Visually appealing
Think of your nail website template as your digital palette—it should let your brand personality shine through.
Caution: Although it’s great to have a very customizable template, be sure you love it and will only need to make a few tweaks.
Pro tip: Choose a template that lets your photos do the talking—clients love seeing real nail art and salon interiors!

Service Pages That Sell
Clients want to know what you offer and how much it costs—fast. The best nail salon web template will include:
Clear service sections (gel nails, nail art, spa pedicures, etc.), not a jumbled list.
Transparent pricing tables
Space for promotions or seasonal packages
No clutter. No confusion. Just clean, compelling info that converts.

Easy Online Booking
Let’s be real—clients want to book appointments without picking up the phone, and you will also love not taking so many phone calls for appointments! Online booking is also open 24/7.
Look for templates that support:
Integrated booking systems or the ability to connect to your own online booking app/software
Real-time scheduling, (Ideally booking should not be done through your Contact Us form or email.)
Mobile-friendly booking forms. Your booking system needs to work well on cellphones.
The best nail salon websites make scheduling as easy as tapping a button—no phone calls or contact forms required.
There are many different online booking apps to choose from. Squarespace is integrated with Acuity Scheduling and also can link with your own scheduling app.
Build Trust with Personal Touches
People don’t just book services—they book experiences. Add warmth and credibility with:
“About Us” sections featuring your team, including the owner’s bio and mission and value statements
A welcome section on the homepage
Client testimonials and reviews
Optionally an awards or press mentions section
When you look at nail salon website examples, you’ll notice the most engaging ones always include a personal story.

Smooth User Experience
A beautiful site is great—but it also needs to work well. Your nail website template should be:
Fast-loading and responsive on all devices (from desktop to tablet to mobile).
Easy to navigate with a clear menu of five to six items and a “Book Now” or “Make an Appointment Button.” Your clients should be able to find what they need in one or two clicks—whether they’re on a laptop or scrolling on their phone.
Designed with calls to action that guide visitors through your website. (Book Now, Read our Testimonials, Find out About Us).
Also very important, the template should have:
A spot in the footer for your address, phone number, email address, and hours of operation.
A map showing your location in the footer on the contact page.
A welcome section for customers that includes your city along with the neighborhood or a nearby landmark. (For example, “Welcome to Nail Salon! We’re located in the Ballard neighborhood of Seattle,” “near the Space Needle,” or “in North Seattle”).

Social Media & Blog Integration
Your salon’s online presence doesn’t stop at your website. Choose a template that connects seamlessly with your socials and supports fresh content.
Look for:
Instagram or TikTok feed integration
A blog for nail trends and tips
Newsletter sign-up options
These features keep your site dynamic and help you grow your audience.
