FAQ

Questions owners ask before switching

Is Mesavoo a full scheduling calendar?

Mesavoo is intentionally lightweight. It creates branded booking and intake request pages so your team gets better appointment details before confirming by phone, text, or your existing calendar.

Can clients upload reference photos?

Yes. Mesavoo supports reference image uploads, which is useful for nail design ideas, current nail condition, coat condition, grooming references, and other context your team needs before calling back.

Can I use Mesavoo if I already take appointments by text or phone?

Yes. Mesavoo is built for nail salon teams that still confirm appointments personally but want cleaner requests than scattered calls, texts, and DMs.

How fast can my page be set up?

Most demo pages can be prepared within 24 hours after you share your business details, service list, and any reference images.

Is this better for solo operators or multi-location teams?

Mesavoo works best for solo operators, small teams, and growing local businesses that want a simple intake-first booking page. Larger teams needing payroll, inventory, POS, or complex calendar automation may need a fuller platform.
