Lunelle is the all-in-one business app for lash artists, estheticians, and independent beauty pros. Booking, clients, payments, and payouts — in one place, on your phone. BOOKING THAT RUNS ITSELF Day, week, and month calendar views built for a working chair. Set buffer time after appointments, block off time you're unavailable, and let clients book themselves through your own booking site. A waitlist fills the gaps when someone cancels. GET PAID, HOWEVER THEY PAY Take contactless cards and digital wallets with Tap to Pay on iPhone — no card reader to buy or carry. Cash, Venmo, Zelle, and Bluetooth card readers are all supported too. Split payments across tenders, add tips after the tap, apply discounts per service, and issue refunds without leaving the app. SELL MORE THAN SERVICES Track retail products with SKUs, prices, and stock levels, then add them to any checkout. Sales tax is calculated separately for services and retail, at the rates you set. KNOW YOUR CLIENTS Full client profiles with photos, lash set history, and notes. Send intake and consent forms by email and collect real signatures. Automatic appointment reminders by text and email keep no-shows down. RUN THE BUSINESS See every sale in one feed. Watch payouts land with details tied back to the payments behind them. Export sales reports as PDFs. Track staff hours with clock in and out. BRING YOUR TEAM Add artists, set permissions, and assign appointments. Everyone gets the schedule on their own phone. YOUR OWN BOOKING SITE Every salon gets a booking page and a socials page at your own address. Share the link, print a QR code, or program an NFC tag clients can tap to book. Lunelle is free to try. Payment processing requires a Stripe account, and Tap to Pay on iPhone requires iPhone XS or later running iOS 16.7 or later.
