Online Booking - Limit Staff Choices For New Clients

For a therapist who already has a full client list and does not wish to get any new clients, to block new clients from booking in with her online yet allow her existing clients to book online. This would allow new therapists whos client list has room to fill up.

I'm wanting to scale back my time behind the chair and would love to be able to have a private link to give to my clients to schedule appointments. (I cave when I'm face to face with them and schedule them outside of my new schedule.) I do not want to be on the online schedule with my stylists as I do not want to take on any new clients.

As a colourist who is booked up weeks in advance, i would love if I didn't have to manage my diary myself. If clients who have already been in my chair could book online this would be amazing.For new clients it could prompt them to contact the salon for a booking with senior staff who are visible online but bookable to regular clients only. That way the regular clients are booked and the new potential clients don't leave the system without options. The salon still has the lead and can recommend the client to another stylist. Better customer service :)

I would like to add to this. It would be great if for online bookings it would show the schedule availability first and not have them choose a .provider. If they was a specific person have a button on the top that asks "looking to request a service provider?" then they than choose who they want. We find people choose and then it books at very time wasting spot.
It would be great to also have time slots open that only make sense and not allow large gaps.
another way to address this would be to be able to turn off online booking on individual schedules and in schedule time increments (Mindbody offers this) I could block form 9-11 on Suzy May 10th schedule from online availability as she books up and could reopen it. It was a great feature.

The stylist they choose is not always taking new clients or taking highlight clients

I would like to be able to only provide online booking for my established clients, I have younger stylists who need the new clients and I don’t. Wish this was a feature.

Hi, we've just released an update to our Online Booking which will allow more flexibility in managing your calendars by tailoring staff availability for new & returning clients. You can read more about this feature here: https://support.phorest.com/hc/en-us/articles/21186632110610-How-do-I-limit-staff-choices-for-new-clients-in-online-booking
We plan to further iterate on this feature in the coming months to offer more flexibility for staff members and online booking.
Thanks again for your feedback,
Best wishes,

One important addition would be: to make it also service specific.
One of our stylists has a tone of male returning clients and cannot take any new ones, but still has room for ladies.
As for now the feature would not solve it.

Phorest Product what we really need is the ability to limit staff availability by service. Also, to have a hierarchy. For example..1st, 2nd & 3rd etc.....choice for booking services.

Phorest Product will this include limiting what new clients can book too? Like only being able to book just one service category?
