The POS closes the ticket. That is a different search.
Nail salon POS is the register: the service ticket, the card, the cash, the tip, the bottle you sold at the desk. Owners type it when the terminal is slow, the batch will not close, or a salesperson promised one login for checkout and the calendar. Empty chairs are usually not a terminal problem. They are a booking problem and a phone problem sitting next to a register that can stay.
Bukkii Calendar is the booking layer beside that register. $20/month. Booking website, Google Reserve, unlimited staff, unlimited customers. It does not take payment. It does not answer the phone. It is not a POS replacement. AIVA, the phone, does not take the card either. She is $200 one-time.
Keep the counter system the floor already taps
A lot of US nail shops, including Vietnamese-owned family floors, close the day on a counter POS the techs already know: SimplePOS, Limited POS, Salon Solutions, Mac USA, Go POS, and similar. Ripping that out to gain a booking link is a bad trade. The longer version, with the same boundary, is keep your nail salon POS. A name-by-name pass is nail salon POS comparison.
We did not fetch those brands’ fee schedules on September 22, 2026. This page does not invent a processing rate for them.
Software POS is allowed to stay, too
Some shops run the register inside a salon platform. If that is Mangomint or GlossGenius, their public prices as of September 22, 2026 are worth knowing so you do not “save money” by replacing a tool you still need:
- Mangomint payments on their pricing page: in-person 2.45% + 15¢, virtual 2.90% + 30¢. The subscription beside that is $120/month base + $10 per user. Phone add-on $70/month per line is call and text, not a claim that it replaces a nail POS.
- GlossGenius lists a flat 2.6% card rate on its pricing page, inside plans that also include the booking site and POS. Gold is positioned for up to 9 staff. That is their bundle, not ours.

Use them as the register if you want their register. Use Calendar only for the public book. The fair list is best nail salon software. The “what does management include” cut is management software.
What to add when the drawer is fine
| Symptom | Layer | Price |
|---|---|---|
| No booking link, no Book Online on Maps | Calendar. Not a new POS. | $20/month. Unlimited staff. Unlimited customers. Does not answer the phone. |
| The line rings during a fill or after close | AIVA. Not a new POS. | $200 one-time. No monthly plan fee. No free trial. |
| The batch, the tip, the retail SKU | The POS you have | Their bill, not ours. We are not quoting it unless we fetched it above. |
We do not claim a two-way sync from AIVA or Calendar into the POS. The stack is honest: the register stays the register, the book can live on Calendar, the phone can be AIVA. Same boundary if you kept Vagaro or Booksy as the system of record: keep Vagaro or Booksy.
Do not buy a register to solve a booking keyword
If you landed here from “nail salon pos” and the pain is Saturday at 8:40 p.m., you want nail salon booking and booking software, plus the phone if people call. Nail salon software explains the seat-fee pattern those suite quotes use. Get Calendar — $20/mo for the book. Get AIVA — $200 for the line. Hear her at (215) 791-6766.
Two offers: AIVA on the phone, Calendar on the book
Bukkii sells two layers. They are separate products. Neither one is a free trial.
AIVA — the phone layer — $200 one-time
AIVA is the AI receptionist for inbound calls. She answers the shop number, books the service, and texts the appointment. $200 one-time. No monthly plan fee. No free trial. Get AIVA — $200. Hear her at (215) 791-6766.
Calendar — the booking layer — $20/month
Calendar is the booking website plus Google Reserve — the Book Online button on Google Maps. $20/month. Unlimited staff. Unlimited customers. It does not answer the phone. Get Calendar — $20/mo. Both cards are on pricing.
FAQ
Is Bukkii a nail salon POS?
No. Calendar is a booking layer: booking website, Google Reserve, unlimited staff, unlimited customers, $20/month. It does not replace SimplePOS, Limited POS, Salon Solutions, Mac USA, Go POS, or a software register such as Mangomint or GlossGenius. AIVA does not take the card either.
Why do nail salon POS searches show booking apps?
Because many salon platforms sell the register and the calendar in one subscription. If you already close tickets on a nail counter system, you do not have to move the drawer to get a booking page or a phone that answers.
What should I add if the POS is fine and the book is not?
Calendar, at $20/month, for the booking website and Google Reserve. It does not answer the phone. If the leak is the ringing line during a fill, add AIVA at $200 one-time.
Do you publish processing rates for nail POS brands?
Only where we opened the pricing page on September 22, 2026. Mangomint lists in-person payments at 2.45% + 15¢ and virtual at 2.90% + 30¢. GlossGenius lists a flat 2.6% card rate. We did not fetch rate cards for counter POS brands, so this page does not invent those fees.
Can the POS and the booking calendar disagree?
They can, if you do not run one shared system. We do not claim a native two-way sync into your POS. The honest stack is: the register stays the register, Calendar holds the public book, AIVA writes the chair she books and texts the client.
