I do not understand how a salon software does not have timing set up APPLICATION-Process-Finish! We need to be able to open our finishing time! This "package stuff does not work! PLEASE help.

Ok so I know we can put a gap then put a haircut or blowdry. This has proposed a challenge for us because we really really need the ability to book a color with blowdry with a 45 gap between. The reason this is a challenge is because all of our services include a style. So we had to create a "free blowdry" with color. What happens is we end up someone else at times is doing the blowdry and it comes up "free... $0" and looks like we are giving away a service when the blowdry price is included in the color. The stylist blowdry then also doesn't get any credit for the blowdry.

Yes I know we can do this with packages... but really this isn't ideal. Creating 1 service with a gap and a finish IS the best way to do what we are asking.

As an ethnic salon, we frequently use under-the-dryer styling techniques, particularly for textured hair, as a healthier alternative to direct heat. This requires precise scheduling for processing and finishing stages across multiple service types, such as roller sets and extension maintenance. We often have to extend service times, which then overlaps with other clients and limits availability for the necessary processing time. We’ve tried adding these services under color, but clients struggle to find their specific service, which comes across as unprofessional. We also attempted using packages, but this approach confuses clients and makes online booking less user-friendly.

Color services need to have finishing times!

we need finish times with the application, process and finish times, so say one hour application, one hour process and one hour finish times.
