Nail & lash bars
She broke a nail this morning.Your 4 pm slot is in her stories.
Gel sets, lash extensions, emergency repairs: your clients decide on the day. Carden catches that demand and fills your stations — while your hands are in the gel.

We know your day
Three things that cost you, every day.
- The phone rings mid-set
- Every call interrupts precision work. Not answering might mean a lost client; answering means a ruined set.
- Cancellations land the same morning
- A DM at 9:40 am, and your 4:15 pm slot is gone. Nobody will call “just in case” — yet three of your followers were looking for a slot today.
- You already do everything, on your own
- The sets, the DMs, the evening stories, the accounts. “One more tool” is exactly what you don’t want.
What Carden changes
Your stories already sell your work. Now they sell your slots.
- The story goes out on its own
- Nothing to watch, nothing to write: the cancellation is spotted in your diary, the visual is prepared with your logo, and the slot goes out on your account.
- Your followers become today’s clients
- A DM reaches the person writing to you. A story reaches the 800 who follow you — including the one who broke a nail this morning.
What you get out of it
Slots won back, without spending a minute on it.
- She books from your profile
- She taps the salon’s name, then the booking link in your bio — the one you already have. The booking lands in your diary.
- One set won back pays for the month
- Story costs €9.90 a month. A single set that doesn’t stay empty pays for it; the rest goes into your till.
What goes out on your account
You don’t write a single story.
A freed slot, today’s free times, an offer you launch: Carden posts in your name, with your logo and a photo of the service.

How it works
Nothing to install. You set it up once, then there’s nothing left to do.
We connect your diary
Fresha, Treatwell or another. No double entry, with your consent.
You set it up once
Your colours, your hours, the number of stories per day.
The rest goes out on its own
The next freed slot is announced without you.
Whatever your set-up
Four ways of working, the same gap in the day.
- Nail salon
- Two to six stations, back-to-back sets: gaps show up straight away and get filled the same day.
- Lash bar
- Extensions and infills: infills get moved, and Carden offers the freed slot again.
- Mobile or private studio
- You work alone, with no shopfront. Your booking page and your stories are your shop window.
- Rented room in a shared salon
- Your diary is yours, even if the premises aren’t. Carden doesn’t depend on the salon’s software.
The maths
Your cancellations have a price. Story costs €9.90.
Each month, around 13 empty slots:
€455
that never reach your till.
One filled slot pays for Story.€9.90 a month. Live in France for now.
Join the waitlistYou might be thinking
“I already run my Insta myself.”
And that doesn’t change. It’s your account, your name, your rules: you decide once what can go out and when, then Carden takes care of it. You can pause with one tap.
“Carden has revolutionised how we handle our last-minute and walk-in clients. We serve more clients, with a smooth, stress-free experience — for them as much as for us.”
What people ask us before starting.
Your best slots go days in advance?Carden Last Minute
Do you also take walk-ins?Carden Salon
Do I have to change my diary or my software?+
No. Carden reads the diary you already use — Fresha, Treatwell, Booksy, another tool or even your paper diary, if you put your appointments online. No migration, no double entry, nothing changes in how you work.
Who posts the story on my Instagram account?+
Carden, from your account and in your name, following the settings we agree together when we connect you: your hours and the number of stories per day. You stay in control and can pause at any time.
Won’t it make my salon look like it’s struggling?+
No — and it’s the part of the product we’ve worked on most. Your followers see a rare slot that has just opened up today, never a salon slashing its prices. Three stories a day at most by default, at the times you choose.
How much time does it take me each day?+
None. There’s nothing to enter, launch or check: slots go back out on their own and you read the results whenever you like.
Does it work if I only have 500 followers?+
Yes, and often better than with 10,000. Your followers are local and already know you: a free slot at 4 pm genuinely concerns them. It’s a neighbourhood audience, not a vanity audience.
How much does it cost, and what if no slot gets filled?+
Carden Story costs €9.90 a month, with no commitment and no commission on your usual prices: you stop whenever you like. It’s live in France for now — join the waitlist and we’ll tell you when it opens in your country.

Every trade loses its slots in its own way.
