Frequently Asked Questions
Can multiple stylists use this system?
Yes. Each stylist has their own calendar and client prep dashboard while the salon owner sees a unified view of all bookings and performance metrics.
Does this handle walk in clients too?
Walk in clients can be added to the system after their visit so they receive the same follow up sequence and rebooking reminders as booked clients.
What if a client needs to reschedule?
The confirmation text includes a reschedule link that lets clients pick a new time without calling the salon. The old slot opens back up for other bookings instantly.
