Manage notifications and quiet hours
Choose what you are notified about, whether it also arrives by email or as a push notification, and set quiet hours when your phone stays silent.
Saloon tells you what is happening in your salon: a new appointment, a cancellation, a leave request, a new review. Everything arrives under the bell at the top. You choose what you hear about and whether it also arrives by email or as a push notification. You set this per workspace.

Push notifications and quiet hours
