In short

You Rêve Paris soft pricing: flexible weekday rate on selected services, Mon-Fri 10am-12pm and 2pm-5pm. Standard rate: evening (5pm-8pm weekdays) + weekend + bank holidays. The price displays automatically on the booking screen. Logic: optimise off-peak fill, like trains or hotels.

1. The principle: a rate that follows demand

Most beauty salons use fixed pricing: a manicure costs the same regardless of time and day. Simple to explain, but economically inefficient.

Why? Because demand isn't the same everywhere:

One price hurts everyone: the salon (margins crushed off-peak), flexible clients (no reward for flexibility), and busy clients (no trade-off available). Soft pricing solves all three at once.

2. How it works concretely

Our current time grid:

The price displays automatically on the booking calendar. You see exactly what you'll pay before confirming.

3. Which services are eligible

Most standard services. On the booking screen, flexible slots have a visual gold badge. Indicative list:

Already-discounted combined packages and very long services (Russian volume extensions, BIAB + complete nail art) don't stack. Logic: those are already optimised-margin combinations.

4. Why not a classic "promo"

A classic promo has two problems:

  1. It's punctual (Black Friday, sales). Clients wait and concentrate bookings on those moments — violent imbalance.
  2. It devalues the trade. If a manicure can "crash" its price during a promo, regular clients feel they pay too much most of the year.

Soft pricing avoids both: the flexible rate is permanent, predictable, and conditioned on a behaviour (off-peak booking) that helps the salon. A balanced exchange: you offer flexibility, we offer a flexible rate.

5. Who really benefits from soft pricing

Three profiles get the most:

For 9-6 office workers, the 6pm-8pm evening slot remains workable at full rate, and Saturday is most-demanded. That's OK: you pay the most strategic slot. The flexible client next to you pays less in compensation. Everyone wins.

6. Comparison with other systems

Soft pricing exists elsewhere:

Our version is inspired by this logic but adapted to beauty: simple to understand, capped and predictable (no mystery prices), without unpredictable shifting hours. The expertise stays with our team — Dodo and Xin signature nail masters, Eva and Mélodie nail technicians, Lune as manager — and the OPI premium product quality doesn't change.

💡 Practical tip: on the booking screen, filter by time slot to see all available flexible slots at once. You save across the year by systematically picking weekday mornings and early afternoons.
