# Social media for nail salons, sorted while the gel cures

> Every set you finish could be a post, and most of them never leave your phone. posthell writes the captions from a one-line note, tailors them for each network, and waits for your tap.

Nail clients choose a salon by its photos. They scroll for a shape, a color or a design they want and book where they found it, so a salon that posts its sets every week gives them something to find. posthell handles the part that gets skipped: the writing. Send it the details of a set (shape, finish, color, who did it) and you get a draft for each network: an Instagram caption, a TikTok caption and a Pinterest description written the way people search for nail ideas. The photos are yours; approving the drafts takes a tap at the desk.

## One note becomes the week's posts

The owner's note: "chrome french tips on short almond nails today, client brought a pinterest screenshot and ana matched it"

- Instagram draft: Chrome French tips on short almond nails, by Ana. The client brought a Pinterest screenshot and Ana matched it, so if you've got one saved, bring it to your next appointment.
- TikTok draft: Chrome French tips on short almond nails. Our client brought a Pinterest screenshot and Ana matched it. Bring yours.
- Pinterest draft: Chrome French tips on short almond nails: a French manicure with a chrome finish, matched from a client's Pinterest screenshot. Nail ideas for short almond shapes.

Illustrative drafts. A user's drafts are written from their own note, in their voice, and nothing publishes until they approve it.

## What posthell handles

### Captions for every set

Note the shape, the color and who did it, and the caption comes back with the design named in the first line, the part people see before 'more'. Your photo does the selling; the writing stops being a chore.

### Pinterest, where nail ideas start

People save nail designs on Pinterest and bring the screenshot to their appointment. A pin of your set, described the way people search ('short almond chrome French tips'), puts your salon's name on the idea before they've chosen where to book.

### Seasonal sets, queued ahead

Holiday nail art for December and gift cards before Mother's Day: write them in one quiet afternoon, and they wait in the calendar until their dates come around, while you're at the table.

### A fill reminder every two weeks

Gel and acrylic fills come around every two to three weeks, and the post reminding people to book one can too. Set that post to repeat every two weeks and posthell sends it out on that rhythm until you stop it.

## Frequently asked questions

### What should a nail salon post on social media?

Finished sets with the shape, color and finish named, because that's what people search for. Add short videos of the process, seasonal designs a few weeks before the season, and openings when they come up. Credit the tech who did each set so clients know who to ask for.

### Is Pinterest worth it for a nail salon?

Yes, more than for most local businesses. Nail ideas are one of the things people go to Pinterest to find, and a pin keeps turning up in searches long after the day you post it. posthell writes the Pinterest description separately from the Instagram caption, because one is read like a search result and the other like a feed.

### What hashtags should a nail salon use?

Keep it to a few that describe the set, plus one or two for your town. posthell ends an Instagram caption with a handful drawn from the set you describe, and keeps TikTok and Pinterest to their own habits. Hashtags help a little; naming the design in the first line of the caption does more.

### Can I try posthell before paying?

Yes. The monthly plans begin with 7 days free. A card is needed up front, and if you cancel before the trial ends you aren't charged. Solo is $12 a month ($10 billed yearly), Pro $24 ($18) and Assistant $49 ($37).

### Is there a social media scheduler made for nail salons?
