Set up time and calendar
Set the time notation, the first day of the week, the default colour of appointments and how processing time and blocked time show in the calendar.
Under Time and agenda you set how times and the calendar look for the whole salon. What you choose here applies to everyone. On top of that, each team member picks their own zoom, colour and view in the calendar.
Date and time
- Go to Settings › Planning › Time and agenda.
- Click Edit next to Date and time settings.
- Under Time notation, choose 24-hour or 12-hour. The default is 24-hour.
- Under First day of the week, choose the day the week starts on. The default is Monday.

The time zone belongs to your location. Saloon applies daylight saving time changes automatically based on that time zone.
Calendar settings
- On the same page, click Edit next to Calendar settings.
- Under Colour source for appointments, choose Category or Team member. The default is Category.
- Tick Show processing time for appointment time slots to see processing time in an appointment as a lighter block in the same colour.
- Show buffer time around appointments is on by default: the buffer time before and after an appointment then shows as grey striped bands in the calendar. Untick it to hide them.
- Click Save.
The colour source is the colour the calendar opens with when someone opens it on a device for the first time. After that the calendar remembers, per person and device, which colour it shows. You pick another colour in the calendar with the Calendar settings cog under Colour by; Status and Resource are available there too.
You need the permission Has access to business settings. You set it under Settings › Team members › Permission roles.
Frequently asked questions
Where do I set the time zone?
Not here. The time zone belongs to the location; Saloon uses it for the calendar, online booking and the emails.
I changed the colour source, but my calendar still colours differently. Why?
The colour source only applies the first time someone opens the calendar on a device. After that the calendar remembers the colour it shows. Pick the colour you want in the calendar under Colour by.
Can I choose a calendar colour per service?
With Category, an appointment gets the colour of its service category. A colour per individual service is not possible.
