Ninety minutes face to face
A manicure is the longest of the mass-market beauty services, and the most intimate: technician and client sit across from each other and talk almost the whole time. Music does delicate work here. It fills the pauses when there's nothing to say and stays out of the way when the conversation is going.
That's why the volume is lower than on a shared floor and the mix is longer: in ninety minutes a short playlist repeats twice, and both people notice.
The drill is all high frequencies
An electric nail drill produces a constant high-pitched whine, and it masks exactly the top of the music range. Tracks built on delicate high-end detail simply vanish in the room, so the technician turns it up and the client gets uncomfortable.
What works are mixes anchored in the midrange: chillhop, calm lounge, indie pop, soft neo-soul. They stay audible at low volume even with the drill running.
No PRO fees for our music
A typical background-music service gives you tracks by well-known artists. The rights to those tracks belong to labels and songwriters, so a studio may also have to deal with a performing rights organization (PRO), such as ASCAP or BMI in the US, PRS for Music in the UK or SOCAN in Canada, on top of the subscription.
Harmonia works differently. Our catalog is original music produced for business use, and a public-performance license for your venue is included in the subscription. Our tracks are not registered with PROs such as ASCAP, BMI, PRS, SOCAN, APRA AMCOS or GEMA, so playing music from our catalog does not create PRO fees for that music.
Launch within one business day
Send an application and we approve it within a business day. After that, the music plays on the devices you already have in the studio: the front desk phone or tablet, a laptop or a mini-PC with a speaker.
Staff don't have to pick anything each morning. Playlists and the schedule are set once, then the music starts by itself and doesn't repeat during a shift. For a chain, everything is managed centrally, by location and zone, from one account.
How much it costs
One plan, no bundles and no extra fees for genres or devices. The price depends only on the number of locations and zones.
$12per month for the first location, billed annually
Catalog, player, schedule, subscription agreement and license certificate. $144 a year, or $17/mo billed monthly
$7for each additional location
A chain is managed from one account. $84 a year, or $12/mo billed monthly
$4for a separate zone
Its own playlist and schedule for a separate room. $48 a year, or $5/mo billed monthly
Prices are per month when billed annually, which is the cheapest option. Monthly billing is available and costs more. After your application is approved, we send an invoice or a payment link. Full plan terms
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to pay PRO fees for music in a nail salon?
Not for our catalog. Every Harmonia track is original music produced for business use and is not registered with PROs such as ASCAP, BMI, SOCAN, PRS for Music, APRA AMCOS or GEMA. You pay only the subscription, and it includes a public-performance license for your venue.
What music suits a nail salon?
Chillhop, calm lounge, indie pop and soft neo-soul at low volume. It's important that the track leans on the midrange: an electric drill produces a high-pitched whine that eats the top end, which forces you to turn the music up more than needed.
How much does music for nail salons cost per month?
From $12/mo per location when billed annually ($144 a year). Monthly billing is $17/mo. Each additional location in the same company is cheaper: $7/mo billed annually or $12/mo billed monthly. A separate zone with its own playlist is $4/mo billed annually or $5/mo billed monthly. There are no hidden fees for genres or devices.
Can I play Spotify or Apple Music in a nail salon?
No. Personal accounts on Spotify, Apple Music and YouTube Music are licensed for personal, non-commercial listening only, and their terms of service forbid playing them in a business. Music in a public space counts as public performance, which a personal subscription does not cover. You need either a public-performance license from the rights organizations in your country or a catalog that is licensed for business use, like ours.
What do I show during a music licensing inspection?
Two documents: your subscription agreement with Harmonia and the license certificate (PDF) issued for each location. The certificate confirms that the venue holds a public-performance license for our catalog. If a rights organization contacts you, write to legal@harmonia-b2b.com and we will help you with the paperwork.
What happens if I play unlicensed music in a nail salon?
Playing music publicly without the right license can lead to claims and fines from performing rights organizations (PROs). The rules and the amounts depend on the country. A subscription to a catalog that includes a public-performance license removes this risk for the music you play from it.
What equipment does the music play on?
Almost anything: a POS terminal, mini-PC, TV box, Smart TV, laptop, or an Android or iOS phone. You don't need to buy special hardware. Everything runs through the web player or the app.
What happens if the internet goes down?
The player caches your playlist and keeps playing offline. The music doesn't stop while the connection comes back.
