Planning service durations in a beauty salon
Treatment time is only part of the space an appointment occupies. Preparation, shared equipment and cleaning can affect the following booking even when they are invisible to the customer.
Measure the whole service
Observe several actual working days before settling on durations. Include preparation and clearing up in the work plan. Shortening a duration on paper does not make the work faster and can make the next promised start unreliable.
Combine services realistically
When a customer selects several services, consider the total time and required resources. Do not assume services overlap if the same specialist or equipment is needed. Explain any details the customer must confirm with the salon.
Reflect the working calendar
Include closed days and planned interruptions in the schedule. In Rezerve, holiday scheduling is a Premium feature. Check current plan access and existing appointments before changing the business calendar.
Practical steps
- Observe actual durations.
- Include preparation and clearing.
- Check combined services against working hours and resource availability.
