Express Nail Bar Website Design Study

Polish Bar

Monochrome with a single hot pink pop, built for a walk-in decision.

Polish Bar demo website preview

An express nail bar competes on speed and location, not on craft. The customer is deciding on a lunch break with fifteen minutes free, so anything that slows the page down costs a booking to whoever is next on the map.

Every design choice is subordinate to time to book. Restraint is not an aesthetic here, it is a way of removing everything that stands between arriving on the page and knowing where to go and how long it takes.

Design decisions

  1. 01

    Locations are a first class page

    For walk-in trade, which branch and how far is the whole question. Most salon sites answer it in a footer address, which is too late.

  2. 02

    Duration is printed next to every price

    Someone on a lunch break is buying minutes as much as a manicure. Leaving the time off forces a phone call the customer will not make.

  3. 03

    One moving element, deliberately

    A ticker at the top for what is available now. Everything else is still, so the moving thing means something.

What is built into it

  • Locations page
  • Duration next to price
  • Availability ticker
  • Passes page

Polish Bar is a design study. The business, its address and its reviews are invented so we can show a finished website instead of a flat mockup. Nothing on this page describes a real client of VinaPage.
