You're not the only one who's had enough.
Nail Technicians face unique challenges: Vagaro takes a cut AND charges monthly — double dipping. No-shows killing income when you only have 6-8 appointment slots per day. Managing deposits for appointments to reduce no-shows. Tracking product costs per service (acrylics, gel, nail art supplies). Clients booking through DMs, texts, and the app — impossible to keep straight. On top of all that, Vagaro charges $50/month ($600/year) — money that comes directly from your revenue. The median nail tech earns $33,000/year. Software at $600/year is a meaningful percentage of that income, every year, forever. And you do not own anything.
Your UV/LED curing lamp is yours. You bought it once. Helix works the same way — $279 once for invoicing, scheduling, CRM, time tracking, and full accounting. All connected. All offline-capable. You own it like you own your tools.
Vagaro is just one piece. What else are you losing money on?
