Long colour appointments booked too short
Each service has its own length, so a full head of highlights never gets squeezed into an hour.
Late cancellations
Clients cancel or move online through their confirmation email, which frees the slot for someone else.
Messages at all hours
Clients book at 11pm on their phone instead of messaging you.
Set-up tips
- Book colour services with realistic times, including processing.
- A rebook reminder at 6 to 8 weeks suits most colour clients.
- Take a deposit on long colour appointments to protect your afternoon.
- Ask for a Google review after big transformations.
- Put your booking link on your Google Business Profile and Instagram bio.
- Add a team member’s own services and hours so juniors and seniors are booked correctly.
