How far ahead should salons take online bookings?

Accept bookings up to your cancellation horizon, typically eight weeks. Longer windows fill prime Friday slots early but complicate stylist leave planning.

Why collect allergy information at booking?

Patch tests and reaction histories prevent chemical service injuries and liability. Booking-time collection gives clients days to complete required testing.

Can clients book specific stylists?

Yes, with fallback options when preferred stylists are unavailable. Preference capture improves retention while exports of upcoming demand keep rotas fair.
