Beauty & Wellness

Hair salons, spas, and wellness centers rely on skilled staff with different specialties and availability. A salon might have 5 stylists—one senior colorist, two general stylists, a nail technician, and an esthetician. Each works different days. Customers want to book with their preferred stylist. Opencals manages this automatically.

Individual Staff Schedules

Each staff member gets their own schedule. A senior colorist works Tuesday–Saturday. A massage therapist takes Mondays and Fridays off. A wellness coach works only 4 PM–8 PM weekdays.

When you assign staff to specific services, customers see only who offers that service. A nail technician doesn't appear for massage bookings.

• Individual weekly hours — each staff member has unique availability
• Service assignments — assign stylists to specific services (cut, color, extensions)
• Days off management — block vacations, sick days, or training instantly
• Customer preference — clients book with their favorite provider

Services Across Multiple Locations

You might operate from a main salon, a secondary location, offer home visits, or provide online consultations. Opencals supports three location types: physical (salon address), online (Zoom/Google Meet), or home/delivery service.

Each location has its own hours. A customer picks location first, then sees staff and available slots at that location only.

• Physical locations — salons, spas, clinics with specific addresses
• Online services — Zoom or Google Meet consultations with auto-generated meeting links
• Home/delivery service — therapist travels to client; no fixed location needed
• Per-location hours — each location sets independent operating hours

Seasonal and Recurring Services

Some services run only certain times of year. A sauna operates May–September. A winter-only facial treatment appears only Dec–Feb. Meditation classes happen every Thursday at 6 PM year-round.

You create schedules for weekly patterns (recurring) or seasonal windows (non-recurring). Days off from any staff member override all availability—a therapist on vacation simply doesn't appear on the calendar.

• Recurring schedules — weekly class times, regular staff availability
• Non-recurring schedules — seasonal services (summer pool, winter facials)
• Schedule intersection — final availability = service schedule AND staff schedule AND location schedule
• Days off override — vacation blocks all slots automatically

Flexible Durations and Multi-Day Bookings

Not every service fits a fixed 1-hour slot. A sauna books by the hour. A wellness retreat charges per day. A massage package charges in 15-minute increments. Customers pick their exact duration and you charge per unit.

A client books a 3-hour spa package at $40/hour and pays $120. You set min/max duration limits so customers can't accidentally over-book or under-book.

• Per-unit pricing — charge per hour, per day, or custom units
• Variable duration selection — customers pick exact length
• Min/max limits — prevent too-short or too-long bookings
• Multi-day packages — wellness retreats, extended stay bookings

Group Classes and Workshops

Offer group fitness, meditation, beauty workshops, or team services. Set the attendee limit per slot, and multiple customers book the same time together. More revenue per hour without adding staff.

Examples: a 20-person yoga class at 6 PM Monday, a 12-person "intro to massage" workshop, a 5-person bridal beauty prep.

• Capacity limits — set max attendees per session
• Multiple bookings per slot — several customers book the same time
• Revenue boost — same staff hour, multiple clients paying
• Group coordination — manage class size without overselling
