Answers

What to know before a hand-photo workflow opens.

Who is Nudio for?

Nudio is for nail techs, salons, and their clients. Techs and salons use the workspace, approvals, saved sets, and usage logs. Clients use the guided request flow to bring inspo, preferences, and hand photos into one clearer brief.

Who pays for Nudio?

Nudio is being shaped primarily for nail tech and salon accounts. The final billing model may support salon plans, independent tech plans, included AI credits, add-on credit packs, or overage. Clients may use the request flow through a participating tech or salon.

Does the public waitlist require hand photos?

No. The public waitlist only asks for contact details and interest. Hand photos belong inside the private studio flow after clear consent and privacy language.

Are generated previews guaranteed to match the final set?

No. Nudio previews are design directions, not guarantees. Materials, nail health, length, timing, technique, product availability, and the nail tech's professional judgment still determine the finished set.

Can clients bring Pinterest, TikTok, Instagram, or screenshots?

Yes. Nudio is designed around messy real-world inspo. References help communicate palette, shape, finish, detail, and mood. They are not a promise to copy protected work or reproduce another artist's design exactly.

How does Nudio handle AI generation cost?

AI generation is metered so cost does not disappear into unpaid admin time. Nudio is designed to track usage by salon, tech, account, and design set, which supports credits, limits, add-ons, or overage.

Is Nudio replacing the nail tech?

No. Nudio helps create visual directions before the appointment. The nail tech still decides what is wearable, realistic, healthy for the client's nails, and possible within the appointment.

How are hand photos and inspiration images used?

Hand photos and inspiration images are used to create and manage the client's design request, generate preview directions, support tech review, and save the approved set. Nudio should not use private hand photos in public marketing without separate permission.

Can a salon own the account while techs still have usage visibility?

Yes. Nudio is designed so a salon can own the plan while still seeing usage by individual tech, client request, account, and design set.

Is Nudio a booking system?

No. Nudio is a design-preview and consult workspace. Booking, service pricing, appointment availability, and final timing stay with the nail tech or salon.
