6.4: 10 Short Video Scripts for Nail Salons, Spas and Restaurants. Filmed in 10 Minutes

Here are 10 ready-made short video scripts for nail salons, spas and restaurants. Each one has three parts (opening, middle, closing) and takes about 10 minutes to film. Pick one, follow it, post it.

The hardest part of making video isn't filming. It's standing in your shop wondering "what do I film today?" With scripts in hand, you don't have to think.

At the end there's a one-month plan at two videos a week.

The basic formula: Open – Middle – Close

Every good short video has three parts:

• •Open (first 2–3 seconds): an image or a line of text that makes people stop. This decides whether they watch or swipe.
• •Middle (8–20 seconds): deliver what the opening promised.
• •Close (2–3 seconds): tell viewers what to do next: book, visit, save the video.

It's like a meal: the appetizer gets people to sit down, the main course satisfies them, and at the end you invite them back.

10 scripts you can film today

1. "Just something simple"

• •Open: On-screen text: "Customer: just something simple." Close-up of bare nails.
• •Middle: Three quick clips of the work. Then reveal the finished set.
• •Close: Text: "Simple, [shop name] style 💅 Book at the link in bio."

2. Before and after in 15 seconds

• •Open: Close-up of the "before" (old nails, skin before a facial, raw ingredients).
• •Middle: One transition, then the "after" from the same angle.
• •Close: Text: "A few spots left this weekend. Message us."

3. This week's best seller

• •Open: Text: "This week's most requested is…"
• •Middle: Reveal the colour, dish or service. Film it from two or three angles.
• •Close: Text: "Have you tried it?" Invite comments.

4. The sounds of the shop (ASMR)

• •Open: Extreme close-up, no text, no music.
• •Middle: Four actions, four seconds each, with real sound: filing, painting, pouring broth, frying.
• •Close: Small text: shop name and area (for example "Vaughan, ON").

5. Opening up in the morning

• •Open: A hand turning the key. Text: "7 a.m. at [shop name]".
• •Middle: Lights on, tools set out, pot on the stove, tables wiped. Three seconds each.
• •Close: The "Open" sign flips. Text: "See you today."

6. Three questions customers always ask

• •Open: Text: "The 3 questions we get most".
• •Middle: Each question appears with a short answer and a matching clip. Example: "How long does gel last? About 2–3 weeks."
• •Close: Text: "Got another one? Ask in the comments."

7. Meet someone on the team

• •Open: Close-up of a tech's or cook's hands at work. Text: "Meet Linh, 12 years doing nails".
• •Middle: Three clips of her working. She doesn't need to say anything.
• •Close: Text: "Want to book with Linh? Message us."

Remember to ask your staff before filming and posting.

8. Time-lapse of nail art or a full spread

• •Open: Empty table or plain nails. Text: "90 minutes. Watch it in 15 seconds."
• •Middle: The sped-up footage.
• •Close: Hold still on the finished result for three seconds.

9. This week's offer

• •Open: Big text: "This week only".
• •Middle: Show the exact service or dish on offer, with the price or the bonus.
• •Close: Text: "Ends Sunday. Message 'OFFER' to hold your spot."

Use this one sparingly, about once a month. Post offers constantly and customers will only wait for discounts.

10. A thank-you to customers

• •Open: Text: "An ordinary day at the shop".
• •Middle: A few clips of customers smiling, admiring their nails, taking the first bite (with permission).
• •Close: Text: "Thank you for supporting our small shop ❤️"

How to choose music

I'm not naming specific songs, because trending audio changes weekly. Do this instead:

1. •When creating a video in Instagram or TikTok, tap add sound.
2. •Look at the trending tracks the app suggests.
3. •Pick one whose pace matches the video: slow for a spa, upbeat for a restaurant.

Business accounts usually only see the commercial music library. Choosing from it keeps you safe on licensing.

One-month plan: 2 videos a week

Save scripts #8 and #10 for next month, or swap them in whenever they fit.

A time-saving tip: batch your filming. Take 40 minutes on a quiet morning and film four videos for the next two weeks. After that you just post on schedule.

Quick recap

• •Every video has three parts: an opening that stops the scroll, a middle that delivers, a close with a clear next step.
• •The 10 scripts above cover more than a month.
• •Choose music from the app's suggestions, within the commercial library.
• •Film in one batch, post over two weeks.

Next up (6.5): adding bilingual Vietnamese–English captions so your videos reach both communities.
