Client reviews of Nailfolio
I would still love a reminder about an upcoming visit with a preview of the chosen inspiration, but even without it I really enjoy using it.
It cut my decision time at the salon from fifteen minutes to zero, I walk in and already know what we are doing, because I sent the inspiration session a day earlier. I like that it is free for the client and signing in through Google takes literally a moment.
What I like most is that I do not have to come up with a password. I scan the code at my stylist, sign in with one tap through Google, and have her whole gallery right on my phone. I am tired of setting up accounts with yet another password to remember, and here I just open it and browse. I only miss a 'share with a friend' button to show a design to a friend, but otherwise it is great.
I always forget what color I had three visits ago, and I lose the thread in my messages to the stylist. In Nailfolio I just go back to my history and check. No more texts like 'do you remember that beige from March?'. I recommend it to anyone who, like me, has complete chaos in her head with polish names.
So many times I came in with an Instagram screenshot and the lady said it could not be done on my nails. In Nailfolio I finally see only what my stylist can really do, no disappointment and no explaining that a design will not work. I can set a filter for short nails and I see right away what I will actually get.
Inspiration sessions are the best thing I have seen. Usually before a visit I collect twenty photos on Instagram and cannot decide. Here I drop a few designs into a session, add a note like 'this base, but with these little gems', and send it to my stylist. She knows what I mean before I even walk in.
As a client I am often too shy to say in the salon that a design does not suit me. Thanks to Nailfolio I can calmly browse my stylist's work at home, pick what really fits me, and send it to her before the visit. The stress of the consultation is gone, because everything is settled in advance. I recommend it especially to the shy ones.
I was skeptical, but after testing I changed my mind. Browsing my stylist's work is far more convenient than on Instagram, where I cannot find anything later anyway and the algorithm keeps pushing thousands of other salons at me. Here I have a clean gallery, only her work, and I can filter by color. I love that it is cut off from social media.
