Nail Tech Seasonal Checklist: Spring/Summer Edition
Prepping for bridal parties, summer sets, and sunny success ☀️
As the sun starts shining and the diary begins to fill, it’s time to shift gears for the season ahead. Spring and summer are golden months for nail techs—weddings, proms, holidays, festivals and last-minute getaways all call for fresh sets and long-lasting finishes.
Whether you’re fully booked or looking to build momentum, now’s the perfect time to refresh your setup, your services and your strategy. Here’s your ultimate TWENTY Seasonal Checklist to help you stay organised, relevant and in-demand all spring/summer long.
1. Refresh Your Colour Palette
Say goodbye to moody winter tones and hello to the shades your clients will be reaching for as the weather warms up.
This season’s must-haves:
-
Pastels – lavender, mint, baby blue
-
Brights – citrus, cobalt, fuchsia
-
Sheers & bridal neutrals – perfect for wedding season
Pro tip:
Create a seasonal swatch display on your desk or post a quick reel on IG Stories. When clients see it, they’ll be more likely to choose it.
2. Launch Your Bridal Edit
Wedding season is here—and it’s not just brides booking in.
Now’s the time to:
-
Curate a bridal-friendly shade collection (think milky whites, sheer pinks, soft nudes)
-
Offer a Bridal Nail Trial so brides can test shades before the big day
-
Don’t forget bridesmaids, mums and guests—they all want pretty nails too!
-
Add a “Wedding Nails” highlight to your IG to showcase your best sets

3. Promote Summer-Proof Services
Holidays, beach days, pool parties—clients want nails that last.
-
Recommend BUILD & BOOST for overlays
-
For max durability? Push SCULPT & BOOST hard gel
-
Offer festival-ready nail art add-ons
-
Share aftercare tips for sun, sea & sand on social or after appointments
☀️ Summer sets aren’t just about colour—they’re about longevity. Make it clear you’ve got them covered.
4. Run a Mini Promo or Seasonal Treat
A small offer can go a long way in encouraging bookings or upsells.
Ideas to try:
-
✨ Free nail art on 2 nails with every full set
-
👯♀️ “Refer a friend—both get £5 off”
-
🌿 Discount on cuticle oils or aftercare packs (perfect summer add-on!)
⚡ Keep promos time-limited and focused—just enough to give clients a nudge.
5. Update Your Booking Link & Availability
A quick calendar refresh can avoid booking chaos later.
Check and update your online scheduler to reflect:
-
Your holiday dates
-
Peak availability (e.g. weekends, pre-wedding days)
-
Any new seasonal services or price changes
🔗 Use pinned posts and IG Stories to keep your audience informed and in the loop.
6. Spring Clean Your Space
A tidy space = clearer head and better content.
-
Disinfect your tools & storage
-
Retire old shades and expired products
-
Refresh your desk décor (seasonal signage, flowers, or a pastel towel swap)
Bonus: film a “clean with me” reel—it’s relaxing, satisfying and great for engagement.
7. Show Up on Social with Seasonal Content
It’s time to bring the season into your feed!
Here are a few easy, effective ideas:
-
Spring/Summer nail inspo reels
-
BTS of your bridal sets
-
Swatches of your go-to sunny shades
-
Client hands with seasonal props (ice cream, sunglasses, florals)
💡 Ask your clients to send holiday pics of their nails on the beach or at weddings—great for reposts and testimonials.
Final Tip:
You don’t need to change your whole business—just make intentional seasonal tweaks that keep you visible, on-trend, and ready for your busiest (and brightest) months.
Let this spring/summer be your glow-up era.
You’ve got the skills—now let your season shine.
