A colour appointment is three blocks — application, processing, finish — and the stylist is free in the middle. The calendar understands that, so a balayage does not block the chair for 210 minutes it only uses for 90.

Questions from this trade
Does the calendar handle colour processing time?
Yes. A colour service has application, processing and finishing minutes; only the hands-on parts hold the stylist, so the processing gap is bookable.
Can each stylist have their own prices?
Yes — a service can carry a price per staff member, and the booking page shows the price for the stylist chosen.
Can I take deposits on colour only?
Yes. Deposits are set per service, so a £30 deposit on full-head colour and none on a fringe trim is one setting each. Deposits are on Core and above.
What about chair renters?
Each stylist is a staff member with their own calendar and services; a renter can be paid out by commission rule in payroll on Pro.
Do clients need an app?
No. Booking is a web page that works on any phone; the confirmation can be added to their wallet and calendar.
Can I import my clients from Fresha?
Yes — the importer reads a Fresha client export (name, mobile, email). Appointment history is not imported yet; the switching guide lists what is.
What does it cost?
Free for one chair; Core £49 a month for up to 5 staff; Grow £99 for up to 15 with WhatsApp and SMS; Pro £149 with no caps. 0 % commission on all four.
