Salon Appointment Book and Chair Planner

In a salon or spa, the appointment book is the business. A color service mixes time in the chair with time while the color processes, deposits and member credits change what a client owes, and a patch-test date and color formula need to be on hand before anyone starts. When a stylist calls out on a busy Saturday, the front desk has minutes to work out who else can take each client and to reach them before they set out. This concept shows an appointment book in the Kadaikodi merchant console designed for salons and spas that sell bookable services.

The illustration shows the book for a sample Saturday at one salon, under Orders, with a location picker and an Add booking button. Tiles report booked hours against the hours available, deposits held and three moves pending. Each stylist has a column, labeled with name and level, on a timeline from nine to five. Every block names the time, service, client and length. Color services carry a hatched processing band, and chips show a deposit, a patch test on file with its date, or a member credit covering the booking. One block keeps the client's color formula as a note.

The first column belongs to a senior colorist marked Called out, and it is grayed. A Re-home panel lists her three clients and, for each, the service and a colleague who holds that skill, with a time and a status: one offer already sent and two needing approval. For the keratin smoothing, one stylist is marked not signed off, so the panel moves on to another who is. Send offers and Call client buttons let the front desk act. The design intends that nothing moves until a person confirms it, and that every change stays on the booking's timeline.

In the design, Kadaikodi holds the bookings, deposits and client notes. Notes under the panel say skills come from CrewFoundry, with the time of the last update, and member balances from Subscriber Bot. CrewFoundry remains the record of which colleague holds which service skill, so the suggestions are designed to be colleagues who are qualified and have open time in the book, and Subscriber Bot is designed to supply the member balance behind each member credit. The book is designed for front-desk coordinators, salon managers and stylists working from one shared view.
