Built for Solo & Booth-Renting Estheticians

A patch test and a peel booked back to back shouldn't run on the same DM thread as everything else.

Facials and peels take real prep — skin history, allergies, a patch test 24 to 48 hours out for a first-time chemical peel — and most of that still lives in your memory or a messy notes app. NSuite gives you a booking link that replaces the DM thread, deposit protection for your higher-value treatments, and a client-notes field that carries skin history and allergy details forward to every visit.

Facials rebook every 4 to 6 weeks. A missed allergy note or a skipped patch test is the one mistake you can’t afford to make twice.

Skincare work carries more actual clinical risk than most solo service businesses — a chemical peel on skin with an undisclosed retinoid habit or a missed allergy isn’t just a bad appointment, it’s a reaction. If you’re keeping skin type, allergies, and patch-test timing in your head or a sticky note, and still booking through Instagram DMs and a generic scheduling tool that doesn’t know a peel needs a patch test first, you’re carrying risk your process should be catching.

  • A new client books a peel, and you have no record of the reaction she mentioned last time she asked about pricing.

    One missed allergy or retinoid note is a client who gets a treatment she’s not a candidate for. A persistent client-notes field carries skin type, allergies, and current product use forward to every future booking — so it’s on file before she’s ever in the chair.

  • You’re texting back and forth to schedule a patch test 48 hours before someone’s first peel.

    First-time peels and reactive treatments need a patch test before the real appointment — that’s two touchpoints to coordinate by hand today. A shareable booking link lets clients pick both slots themselves, patch test and treatment, without you running the calendar from your phone between facials.

  • A $150 peel package no-shows, and there’s no way to recover that slot on short notice.

    Higher-value treatments and packages deserve the same protection a tattoo or massage session gets. A deposit collected automatically at booking means a no-show or late cancel costs the client the deposit, not you the full value of the appointment.

  • Your retail shelf runs out of the serum you recommend most, and you find out when a client asks.

    Retail skincare product is a real revenue stream, but only if you know what’s actually left on the shelf. Inventory tracking — on every plan, including Free — shows what you have on hand, so you reorder before you’re out instead of after a client already wants to buy it.

A fully-booked Thursday of facials, peels, and one patch test — before and after NSuite Solo.

A realistic day for a solo or booth-renting esthetician running four to six treatments, mixed lengths, on a single Thursday.

New client inquiry

Before: A DM asking about a chemical peel, with no record of the retinol she mentioned using and no patch test scheduled before the real appointment.

After: You add a “using tretinoin — needs patch test 48 hrs before first peel” note the moment she reaches out, and her patch-test slot goes on the calendar before the peel itself.

The treatment, session by session

Before: You’re mentally tracking who’s allergic to fragrance, who’s pregnant and off-limits for certain treatments, and who prefers a lighter pressure, with no record of any of it once the appointment’s over.

After: Each appointment already shows her skin history and allergy notes from her last visit before she’s in the chair.

The late cancellation

Before: A $140 peel package cancels two hours out, and there’s no way to fill that slot on zero notice.

After: Her deposit was already collected at booking, so the cancellation costs her, not you.

End of day, treatments and retail both

Before: Reconciling four facials, one peel, and two bottles of serum sold at checkout, from memory, after closing.

After: Every treatment and every retail item sold is already invoiced and logged before you turn off the lights.

Every element above is a real, shipped NSuite feature — including deposit protection, the booking link, and inventory tracking. There’s no structured skin-intake form or patch-test scheduling rule built in; the skin-history and allergy note is a free-text field you fill in yourself, the same way you’d write it on a paper intake sheet, and the patch test is just booked as its own appointment on the same calendar.

I used to keep every client's skin type, allergies, and patch-test timing in a notes app I sometimes forgot to check before booking their next peel. Now it's right there on the appointment before they're even in the chair. I run maybe 15 peel clients a month and haven't skipped a patch test since I switched.

My facials rebook on a 4 to 6 week cycle, and I used to lose track of who was due and who I'd already sold their favorite serum to. Now I filter my client list by who's coming up on rebooking, and my retail shelf tells me when I'm low before a client asks. Between the two, I've picked up real revenue I was leaving on the table.

Common Questions

Is there a free plan?
Yes. Free forever — no credit card. It includes up to 25 clients, the appointment calendar, invoice creation, your service catalog, and retail product inventory tracking. The shareable booking link and deposit collection are available on Starter ($19/mo) and Pro ($49/mo).
Can clients book both a patch test and their actual peel appointment?
Yes. Patch tests go on your calendar as their own appointment, same as any other booking — clients can pick both slots themselves through your booking link on Starter and Pro, so the 48-hour gap before a first peel is scheduled up front instead of coordinated by text.
Can I require a deposit for a peel or a treatment package?
Yes, on Starter and Pro. The deposit is charged automatically the moment a client books and confirms — real protection for your higher-value treatments and packages against a same-day cancellation you can't backfill.
Does NSuite have a structured intake form for skin type and allergies?
No. There's no dedicated intake-form feature. What works: every client profile has a persistent notes field where you record skin type, allergies, current retinoid or acid use, and anything else in your own words, and it carries forward automatically to every future visit — a running record, not a form or checkbox.
Can clients book without texting or DMing me?
Yes. On Starter and Pro, you get a shareable booking page at nsuitesolo.com/book/your-name — put it in your Instagram bio and clients pick an open slot themselves, without you running your calendar from your phone between treatments.
Can I track my retail skincare inventory?
Yes — on every plan, including Free. Add your retail products once, and NSuite tracks what's on the shelf as you sell it, so you know you're low on a client favorite before she asks and you have to say no.
How is this different from Vagaro or Booksy?
Both market heavily toward multi-location spas and studios with several estheticians on staff, with per-seat and add-on pricing. NSuite is one flat monthly price built for a single esthetician or booth renter, with no per-seat fee and no marketplace profile you didn't ask for.
What does it cost?
Free plan forever — no credit card. Free includes the calendar, client notes, and invoicing. Starter ($19/mo) adds your booking link and deposit collection at a 3% Stripe application fee. Pro ($49/mo) adds recurring invoices and lowers the fee to 1.9%.
