How to organize the schedule of a beauty salon
To organize a beauty salon's schedule, define each service with its duration and price, assign hours to each stylist and keep all appointments in a single calendar. CitaBella brings that together in one app: a daily calendar, services, stylists, a record for each client and a link so they can book on their own.
The traditional way: notebook, chats and memory
The usual approach is to keep the schedule in a notebook or on the phone's calendar, with appointments scattered across chats. Problems show up fast: two clients at the same time, appointments with no set duration that overlap, and nobody knows what was done for each client last time.
Step by step with CitaBella
1. Define your services with duration and price
Duration is what keeps appointments from overlapping. In CitaBella each service has a name, price and duration, and the free plan allows up to 5.
2. Assign hours to each stylist
Set the days and hours each stylist works, and which services she does. If you work alone, start with your own schedule; the free plan includes 1 stylist.
3. Keep all appointments in a single calendar
CitaBella shows appointments by day, with hourly blocks and navigation between days. Appointments that come in through your link and the ones you create by hand live in the same place.
4. Also log walk-in clients
When someone shows up without booking, create the appointment manually in the app so that time slot is taken and counts in your stats.
5. Change the status of each appointment
Confirm, cancel or complete each appointment with one tap. When you complete it, you can adjust the services you actually did and choose the payment method, so your income stays organized.
6. Keep a record for each client
CitaBella remembers which service each client got last time and when, and has an appointment search by name, phone or service. With CitaBella PRO you see the full visit history.
