You're not the only one who's had enough.

Why This Matters for Lash Technicians

You have 4 lash sets today — each one is 2+ hours. Your 11am no-shows. That's $175 in revenue gone and you can't fill a 2-hour slot last-minute. Your 2pm wants to try a new curl pattern but you can't find her lash map from last time. You're collecting deposits through Venmo, bookings through Vagaro, and lash maps in a paper notebook. Vagaro charges $25/month and takes a booking fee on every online appointment — you're paying twice to get stood up.

Lash Technicians face unique challenges: 2-3 hour appointments mean only 4-5 clients per day maximum. No-shows devastating when each appointment is $150+. Tracking lash maps and preferences for fill appointments. Deposit collection to prevent no-shows without awkward conversations. On top of all that, Booksy charges $40/month ($480/year) — money that comes directly from your revenue. The median lash tech earns $32,000/year. Software at $480/year is a meaningful percentage of that income, every year, forever. And you do not own anything.

Your Isolation tweezers and application tweezers is yours. You bought it once. Nexa works the same way — $279 once for invoicing, scheduling, CRM, time tracking, and full accounting. All connected. All offline-capable. You own it like you own your tools.

Can I pay in installments?

Yes. Nexa is $279 as a one-time payment, or 3 payments of $99 ($297 total). Either way it's a one-time purchase — no subscription, no recurring fees ever.

What if I don't like it?

30-day money-back guarantee. Full refund. If Nexa doesn't save you $500 in year one, you get every penny back.
