# Walk-ins welcome, and they can see it

> A link in bio for nail salons: Open now hours for walk-ins, online booking, your service menu, gift cards and a QR code at the front desk.

Most salon customers decide from the sidewalk or a map. Tell them you are open, what it costs and how to book, before they pick the place next door.

## Open now, for the people deciding today

The [opening hours](https://makerhandle.com/features/opening-hours) block shows "Open now, closes 7pm" at the top of the page, worked out for your time zone every time someone looks. Add holiday hours once and the badge gets Thanksgiving and Christmas Eve right without anyone touching the page.

Right under it, [Book a time](https://makerhandle.com/features/booking) with your Fresha, Square or Vagaro link for people who want a set time instead of walking in.

## What your page would show

**Example:** a nine-station salon. The logo, "Pedicures, gel and dip. Walk-ins welcome" as the bio. Then:

- **Book on Fresha**, the big button
- **Service menu**, the prices, as a link
- **Gift cards**, a link to where you sell them
- **Leave us a review** on Google
- **Instagram** for the sets

The hours block shows the week, today in bold, with the address, Open in Maps and a tap-to-call button.

## In the window and at the counter

Put the QR code from the Share sheet in the window with "Scan for prices and booking". It works at 9pm when the lights are off.

At the counter, a "Scan to leave a review" card linked to your page gets reviews from the people who just loved their nails.

## See what works, on an address you own

Built-in [analytics](https://makerhandle.com/features/analytics) count visits, where they came from (Google, Instagram and Facebook) and which buttons get tapped, with no cookies and no consent banner. Scans of your QR code show up as their own source, so you can tell the printed code apart from your bio link.

On Pro, **$20 a year**, the page can live on your own domain, like lilynails.com, and lilynails.com/book goes straight to your booking page. Print it once and it keeps working when you change apps. Coming from Linktree? Paste it on the [import page](https://makerhandle.com/import) and your links come over in order.
