No more juggling a booking app, a card terminal, a spreadsheet for tips and a separate loyalty punch card. Astra brings it all together.
Ring up services, add-ons and retail in a few taps, then take payment by tap, chip, swipe or scan without slowing the line.
A live turn queue keeps rotations fair and transparent, so techs always know who is up next and front-desk arguments disappear.
Every tip is captured and attributed to the right technician automatically, ready for clean, accurate daily payouts.
Manage walk-ins and booked appointments on the same calendar, with reminders that cut no-shows.
Sell branded gift cards and reward repeat clients with points that bring them back sooner and more often.
Split a single visit across several technicians — mani with one, pedi with another — without any manual math.
The busiest moment in any nail salon is the front desk at checkout. A client is ready to pay, the phone is ringing, and two more people just walked in. Astra is built for exactly that pressure. Services are pre-loaded, add-ons like gel or nail art are one tap away, and the payment screen appears the instant the ticket is ready.
Smart suggested-tip screens lift average gratuity without anyone having to ask, and receipts go out by text, email or print in a single tap. Because the ticket already knows which technician did the work, the tip is attributed correctly and your end-of-day totals are done before you lock the door.
The result is shorter lines, happier clients and a front desk that stays calm even on your busiest Saturday.
Salons switching to Astra typically retire three to five separate apps and subscriptions, and finally get everything to talk to each other.
Changing your salon's point of sale sounds daunting, but Astra is designed for a smooth move. Our team helps import your client list, service menu and technician roster, so your data is ready before you go live. Most salons are up and running in days, not weeks.
Your staff will feel at home almost immediately. The interface is clean and touch-friendly, built for real salon conditions rather than a back office. New technicians can learn checkout in a single shift, and there is nothing to install or maintain — updates arrive automatically.
And you are never on your own. Astra includes hands-on onboarding and responsive support from people who understand salons, so if a question comes up during a busy shift, help is a quick call away.
Yes. Astra is purpose-built for nail salons and beauty businesses. Features like technician turn tracking, multi-tech tickets and tip-by-technician payouts are core to the system rather than add-ons, so it fits the way nail salons actually operate.
Absolutely. The check-in screen and turn queue handle walk-ins, while the built-in calendar manages booked appointments — all on the same system, so your front desk sees one unified view of the day.
Every service on a ticket is tied to the technician who performed it, so when a tip is added at checkout it is automatically attributed to the right person. At the end of the day you get an accurate per-technician breakdown of tips and commission.
Astra runs on modern salon-ready hardware, including tablet stations and card readers that accept tap, chip and swipe. We will recommend the right setup for your space, and many salons qualify for a free POS through our current offers.
Most salons go live within a few days. Our team helps migrate your client list, service menu and staff, and provides onboarding so your team is comfortable before your first shift on the new system.
Yes. Multi-location salons get a single dashboard with visibility across every shop, plus per-location reporting, so owners can compare performance and manage the whole group from one login.
