Industries
A full chair, a clean till, and clients who rebook.
Hair is a volume business with awkward timings. Processing gaps let you overlap clients, retail is half the margin, and the difference between a good month and a bad one is whether people book the next appointment before they leave.
What matters most here
Overlapping and processing time
Set the working, processing, and finishing parts of a colour separately, so the calendar can put someone else in the gap instead of blocking two hours solid.
Retail in the same basket
Add the shampoo to the service in one sale, with stock coming off the shelf and commission landing on the stylist.
Rebooking before they leave
Book the next visit at the till, and let the rebooking reminder chase the ones who did not.
A day, end to end
The same booking carries through every step. Nothing is re-typed between systems.
- 1
A client books a cut and colour online and pays a deposit.
- 2
The colour’s processing gap is offered to a walk-in as a blow-dry.
- 3
At the till the service, the retail, and the tip go through as one card payment.
- 4
Commission lands on the stylist and the revenue posts to your accounts overnight.
Instead of
A booking app, a card terminal, a stock spreadsheet, and a separate commission calculation at the end of the month.
