Set closed periods
Put public holidays, holidays and other closures in the calendar, per location. On closed days clients cannot book online.
When the salon is closed, for example on a public holiday or during the summer break, enter it as a closed period in Saloon. Clients then cannot book online, and the calendar says at the top that the salon is closed.
Add a closed period
- Go to Settings › Planning › Closed periods.
- Click Add.
- Choose a Start date and an End date. Both days count. For one day, choose the same date twice.
- Under Description, say why you are closed, for example King's Day. The team sees this text in the calendar.
- Choose the locations that are closed. Your own location is already ticked. All locations selects every one.
- Click Save.
What a closed period does
- Online booking is not possible on those days, not even for a place on the waitlist.
- In the Agenda, the top of the calendar says for example Closed on and the date, followed by the description.
- If you still put an appointment on a closed day in the calendar, Saloon first asks whether you are sure with Double booking.
- Recurring appointments skip closed days.
Change or delete
Click Actions next to the period and choose Edit or Delete. Appointments you already had on those days stay; reschedule or cancel them yourself if needed.
You need the permission Can manage the days the business is closed. You set it under Settings › Team members › Permission roles.
