Beauty / Nail Salon — Calendar & Booking

How calendaring works for your business.

Multi-stylist booking with per-staff availability.

Beauty / Nail Salon

Multi-stylist booking with per-staff availability.

Recommended durations

Typical: 30 / 60 / 90 / 120 / 180 / 240 min (cut, color, perm, balayage, full sets).

Capacity mode

Named resources — each stylist is bookable in parallel; the client picks who they want.

Customer appointment setting

  • Client opens your public link /book/your-salon and sees a duration picker (e.g. 60 / 90 / 120 min) you defined in Settings.
  • After picking a duration they choose a stylist by first name + initial (e.g. 'Sara S.', 'Mike T.').
  • Only times when that specific stylist is free are shown — Google Calendar busy blocks are respected, and other stylists' bookings do NOT block them.
  • Client enters name, phone, email, and the service they want, then confirms.
  • They receive an instant confirmation email; 24-hour and 30-minute reminders fire automatically.
  • Birthday touches send themselves on file from the client record.

Agent calendar management

  • In the App header click 📅 Booking Setup, enter custom durations as a comma list (e.g. 30,60,90,120,180,240).
  • Choose capacity mode = Named Resources, then add your stylists (First name + initial). Toggle Active to take someone off the schedule (vacation, sick day).
  • Every confirmed booking lands on your single Google Calendar with the stylist's name and service in the title.
  • Open the in-app Calendar to see manual events, client meetings, next-appointments, and Google events in one month grid; click any event tied to a client to jump straight to their record.
  • Decline unwanted bookings with one click — the requester gets a templated email with your reason and alternative contact options.

Your booking flow just got a lot smarter.

Glide-In™ — the virtual waiting room

The moment an appointment is booked, the client gets a personal one-tap check-in link — by SMS and email. Automatic reminders fire the day before and 2 hours before, each with the same link. On arrival they tap once and pick “I’m in my car” or “I’m inside”; the stylist gets pinged instantly and can tap “You’re up ✨” to invite them in. Live waiting board lives inside the Salon Hub. Zero front-desk friction.

🎙️ Voice-first everywhere

Every calendar screen now has a pulsing mic — clients and staff can ask “what’s on my calendar Thursday?” or “book me at 3” without typing.

🎂 Birthday-aware confirmations

If a client’s birthday is within 30 days of their appointment, the confirmation quietly upsells a matching offer.

🎬 Video-embedded confirmations

Drop a 15-second personal video into every booking confirmation — clients show up warmer, no-shows drop.

♻️ One-click rebook

Post-visit emails include a smart “Book the same again” link that pre-fills service, staff, and duration.

🔗 Deep-link booking

Share links that prefill service or staff — /book/you?service=cut&staff=jordan&ref=CPC123 — perfect for social posts and referrals.

⚡ Smart 30-min reminders

The final reminder now includes weather, parking notes you set once, and the Glide-In™ link (where applicable).
