An appointment takes a person and a place: the specialist and the chair, treatment room or device. The beautify.net calendar books both at once and accounts for processing times.
In short: in a salon, an appointment is more than a slot in a stylist's diary. It also needs a chair, a treatment room or a device that is free at the same time. beautify.net works with dual resources: every service needs a specialist and a workstation, and the calendar refuses a booking if either of them is taken. On top of that, each service can have a processing time — for example, while colour develops — during which the specialist is free to start with another client while the chair stays booked.
A salon with three stylists and two backwash basins cannot take three clients for a wash in the same quarter of an hour. A calendar that only tracks people still accepts the booking, and the problem only shows up at reception. In beautify.net every service is linked to the type of place it needs — styling chair, beauty room, nail table or device — and the calendar checks both resources before saving the appointment.
A colour service has an active part (application), a pause while the colour develops and another active part (rinsing and styling). If the diary blocks the stylist for the whole duration, you lose hours of work every day. In beautify.net you mark the processing time on the service: the specialist shows as free during that window and can take a quick cut, while the client’s chair stays reserved.
Reception sees every specialist and every workstation, with the day’s appointments laid out by the hour. When a client asks for a different specialist or time, you pick a free slot and the calendar checks both resources again. The appointment stays linked to the client card, so on arrival the specialist has last visit’s formulas and photos to hand.
Every appointment takes a specialist and a workstation — chair, room or device — at the same time. The calendar will not save the booking if either is already taken in that slot.
On each service you mark the window in which the treatment works without the specialist, such as colour development. During that window the specialist shows as free for another client, while the chair stays booked.
Yes. Clients choose the service and the specialist and book a free slot. The calendar checks the specialist and the workstation before confirming.
Duration is set per service type. If a treatment has variants with different durations (for example, short hair and long hair), you set them up as separate services.
Add your salon’s services, specialists and chairs or rooms, then set the duration and processing time for each treatment.
beautify.net books the specialist and the chair, room or device together and uses processing times, so the specialist can work with another client while a treatment develops.
What beautify.net does not do:
