Reservation.Studio Business keeps the schedule by stylist, online booking, client history, payments, and commissions in one system. Clients book themselves with their stylist — from your website, from your Google profile, or from the Reservation.Studio catalog — and the salon works from the same schedule.

## When the salon needs a system, not a notebook

- Each stylist has their own schedule and services, and the client picks a person, a service, and a time — no phone call, no notebook at the front desk.
- The client's history — who cut their hair, what was done, notes and photos from the visit — lives in the client record, not in the team's memory.
- The reminder before the visit goes out on its own, and after the visit the client books again with the same stylist more easily.
- Payment closes with a fiscal receipt from the register, and the stylist's commission is calculated from the same sale.
- Colors and retail products live in inventory — what was used, what was sold, and what needs reordering.

- Hair salons
- Salons with several stylists
- Chair-rental stylists

A hair salon lives on regular clients and full chairs. When bookings come by phone, Messenger, and walk-ins, and commissions and products are tallied by hand at month end, the team loses time and the empty hours and missed repeat visits go unnoticed.

## What an organized day looks like in a hair salon

Reservation.Studio Business keeps bookings, client history, payments, commissions, and inventory in one system, so the front desk and the stylists work from the same schedule.

- Set up services by stylist — cuts, color, treatments — each with its own duration and price, so the schedule reflects the real work.
- Clients book online with a specific stylist from your website, the widget, the Reservation.Studio catalog, or straight from the salon's Google profile.
- Before the visit the client gets an automatic reminder, and changes move through the same schedule everyone sees — no side calls.
- Notes, photos, and documents stay attached to the visit — the color formula, what was done, and what was agreed for next time.
- Payment gathers services and products into one sale, the receipt prints from the fiscal device, and the stylist's commission is calculated by their own rules.
- Reports show fill rate by stylist, revenue by service and product, and which clients have not been back in a while.

## Fuller chairs, less phone time, and clearer numbers at month end

The benefit is not just a tidier calendar. The front desk answers fewer calls, stylists see their day, and the owner sees which chair, service, and product earns.

- **Fewer phone bookings and manual reshuffles** — Clients book themselves with their stylist, and changes go through the one schedule the whole team sees.
- **Regulars come back more often** — History, reminders, and the birthday greeting keep the relationship going without the team remembering who to call.
- **Commissions calculate themselves** — Every sale applies the stylist's commission rules — percentage or amount, per service or product — instead of a spreadsheet at month end.
- **Products stop disappearing unnoticed** — Inventory tracks colors and retail products — what was used in the salon, what was sold, and what is running low.

## Most useful when the schedule by stylist and the regulars already drive revenue

For salons where several stylists run their own schedules, clients have "their person", and payments, commissions, and products need to be tracked accurately.

- Salons with two or more stylists with their own schedules and clients
- Salons where stylist commissions are part of the pay model
- Salons that sell products and want inventory to be right
- Owners who want fill rate and revenue by chair and service

## Frequently asked questions

### Can the client pick a stylist when booking?

Yes. Online booking shows the stylists, their services, and each one's real availability. The client picks a person, a service, and a time, and the booking lands straight in the salon's schedule.

### Where can clients book from?

From the salon's website or widget, from the public profile in the Reservation.Studio catalog, through a shared link, or straight from the salon's Google profile — with Reserve with Google the client picks a service and time without leaving Google.

### How are stylist commissions calculated?

You set rules per stylist — a percentage or a fixed amount, different for services and products. Every sale applies the commission automatically, and the report shows accrued and paid out per stylist.

### Can we keep the color formula and photos from the visit?

Yes. Notes, photos, and documents stay attached to the client record and the specific visit, so every stylist sees what was done and what was agreed.

### Does it work with a fiscal device?

Yes. The fiscal device connects to the workstation running the Desktop app, and the receipt prints automatically after payment, recorded against the same sale.

### Is it a fit for a small two-person salon?

Yes. With up to 3 employees you start without a subscription, and the paid plan for one stylist with online booking starts at €13.50 a month. The value shows up as soon as bookings run through the phone and the notebook.

### What usually needs to start first?

The base is usually services, stylists, the schedule, and online booking. Payments, commissions, inventory, and reports come once the base is running.
