develops.
A hair salon’s profit hides in the dead time. Thirty-five minutes of processing on every colour, three or four times a day, is most of a working week over a year — and a diary that understands it can sell that time.

39% of salon bookings happen between 6pm and 10am.
Those are clients deciding at eleven at night that they need their roots done. If the only way to book is a phone call at ten the next morning, most of them book somewhere that let them do it there and then.

The cut is an hour. The business around it is where salons win or lose.
01
Booked — with the right slot length
Service picked online sets the correct duration and processing gap, so the diary is realistic before the day starts.
02
Consultation — history on screen
Last formula, last result, any sensitivity noted. The client doesn't have to explain their own hair again.
03
Processing — the gap earns
A blow-dry or fringe trim slots into the 35-minute window. That's revenue from time that used to be a tea break.
04
Checkout — card, tip, retail, rebook
One transaction, tip split to the right stylist, shampoo on the same receipt, next appointment booked before the coat's on.

Questions
The ones we get asked.
Can it handle processing time in the middle of an appointment?
Yes — that's the feature that matters most for colour work. You define work time and gap time per service, and the diary offers the gap to other clients.
Do stylists get their own calendars and takings?
Yes, with permissions controlling what each person can see. Premium adds tiered commission if you split earnings rather than charge chair rent.
Can I store colour formulas against clients?
Yes, in the client's profile along with notes, allergies and history. It travels with the client rather than living in one stylist's head.
What if a client cancels an hour before a three-hour colour?
On Plus and above you can hold a card at booking and set a cancellation window with a fee. It's set once and applied consistently, which takes the awkwardness out of it.
