    Sample post · Bellevue, WA

    Garden d'Lights opens Nov 28, and holiday party season is right behind it. Our winter sets are in: deep berry reds, soft gold and a little sparkle at the tips.

    Sample post · Santa Ana, CA

    New Year's Eve lands on a Thursday this year, and Santa Ana afternoons in late December still sit near 68°F, so open-toe shoes are fair game. Lock in a gel mani and pedi combo before the 31st: champagne glitter, deep cherry or a clean chrome. Evening chairs in the last week of December go first. Book your set: link in bio. #SantaAnaNails #DTSA #NYENails #OCNails

    Sample post · Dallas, TX

    Holiday at the Arboretum opens Nov 11, so holiday photo season in Dallas is almost here. Get your gloss, trim and fresh color done now, and your hair is camera ready before the first family picture. Evening spots fill first in November. Book your appointment: link in bio. #DallasHair #DallasSalon #DallasTX #HolidayHair

    Sample post · Los Angeles, CA

    LAUSD winter break starts Monday, December 21. Before the Christmas photos and year-end dinners, come in for a fresh fade: cuts for kids and adults, designs and beard trims. December Saturdays fill up first. Book your appointment: link in bio.

What Presly does

Posts, replies and bookings in one app

Presly is an AI social media manager with online booking built in, made for nail salons. It writes posts from your service menu and your own photos, publishes them to Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, Google Business Profile and 6 more platforms, drafts replies to DMs and reviews, and gives clients a link to book.

  • 1A post written from your menu and your photo

    Upload a photo of a finished set. Presly writes the caption in your salon's voice, adds hashtags that fit, and schedules it for the best time on each platform. It never invents a discount or an offer you didn't add.

  • 2A booking page clients can open from your bio

    Clients pick the service, the tech (or "Anyone") and a time. You accept the request (or turn on auto-confirm), and the client gets a confirmation email and a reminder. Put the link in your Instagram bio, your Google Business Profile, or print the QR code for the front desk.

  • 3A reply drafted for a Google review

    New reviews, comments and DMs land in one inbox. Presly drafts a reply in your voice. You read it, change anything, and send.

Set up once. Posts every week.

What owners say

“Presly literally saved my sanity. I was spending every Sunday night writing captions. Now I approve a week of posts in 5 minutes while drinking my morning coffee.”
Polished Nail Lounge · Beauty
“Switched from Buffer and the AI content alone justified the move. I used to write every caption manually. Now Presly does it better than I ever could.”
Luxe Lash Studio · Beauty
“My yoga studio is small but our social presence now looks like a franchise. Presly keeps us visible and the AI somehow captures our peaceful, grounded vibe perfectly.”
Stillwater Yoga · Fitness

What to post (so you're never stuck)

Short answer: show your work, answer real questions, and say when you have openings.

  • Fresh sets: finished nails, close up, natural light. One per day is plenty.
  • The question you hear most: gel vs dip, how long a fill lasts, what's included. Answer it in a post and pin it.
  • Open slots: "Thursday at 2 is open. Want it?" With a booking link, that's a post that can turn into a client.
  • Aftercare and care tips: cuticle oil, how to make gel last, when to come back.
  • Behind the scenes: a new color wall, your tools, a slow-motion top coat.

Presly rotates post types like these for you each week, including "we have openings this week, book here" posts, so your feed doesn't turn into ten "Happy Monday" posts in a row.

Presly fits if:

  • You post yourself (or don't post at all) and want it handled weekly.
  • Clients book by DM or phone and you want a simple booking link.
  • You want posts, booking and replies in one place instead of three apps.

Keep your current tool if:

  • You already run a full salon system with payroll, inventory and card terminals, and you're happy with it. Presly isn't a POS or payroll system. (You can keep your existing system and use Presly only for social media.)
  • You only need a booking calendar and never post on social.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best app to manage Instagram for a nail salon?

The best app is one that does the posting and the booking for you. Presly writes your nail salon's Instagram posts from your own photos and service menu, schedules them at good times, drafts replies to DMs, and gives clients a booking link for your bio. It also posts to TikTok, Facebook, Google Business Profile and 6 more platforms.

Can clients book a nail appointment from my Instagram bio?

Yes. Presly gives your salon a booking page link and a QR code. Put the link in your Instagram bio or Google Business Profile, and clients pick a service, a tech or "Anyone," and a time. Online booking is included on the Growth and Pro plans.

What should a nail salon post on Instagram?

A nail salon should post fresh sets, answers to common questions (gel vs dip, how long a fill lasts), open slots, aftercare tips and behind-the-scenes moments. Presly rotates tips, FAQs, open-slot reminders, before-and-after and behind-the-scenes posts each week so your feed stays varied.

Does Presly use my own nail photos?

Yes. Presly uses your own photos first. Upload sets from your phone and it writes the caption around them. It never adds offers or discounts you didn't set.

Will the captions sound like my salon or like AI?

Presly learns your salon's voice from your website and the example posts you give it, and keeps captions short and plain. You can edit any post before it goes out, or turn on approval mode so every post waits for you.

Can Presly reply to my Google reviews and DMs?

Presly drafts replies to Google reviews, comments and DMs in one inbox, and you send them. The unified inbox is included on the Growth and Pro plans.

Does online booking send reminders?

Yes. Once you accept a booking (or turn on auto-confirm), Presly emails the client a confirmation, then a reminder 1 day before the appointment by default. You can add a second reminder 2 hours before, or use only the 2-hour one.

Do I need to replace my salon software?

No. Presly isn't a POS or payroll system. You can keep your current system and use Presly for social media, and add Presly booking only if you want a simple booking link.

Which platforms does Presly post to?

Presly posts to 10 platforms: Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, YouTube, LinkedIn, Google Business Profile, Pinterest, Threads, Bluesky and X.

How much does Presly cost for a nail salon?

Presly starts at $39/month. For most nail salons we recommend Growth at $79/month, because it includes online booking and the unified inbox. Every plan starts with a 7-day free trial.
