Booking & calendar

Online calendar

A real-time calendar that fills itself when clients book online. Per-stylist views, automatic buffer times between appointments and double-booking prevention so you never end up with two clients at once.

Every online booking blocks the slot in your calendar instantly. No manual entry, no spreadsheet, no awkward 'sorry that just got booked' messages. You see appointments in a daily, weekly or monthly view, with each stylist's bookings on their own track.

Buffer times protect your day. Set 5 minutes after a 30-minute cut for cleanup, 15 minutes after a 90-minute colour for product mixing and washdown. Avana respects them automatically — clients only see slots that fit including the buffer.

Walk-ins go straight in by clicking the slot. The calendar updates in real time across every device — your receptionist sees the same view you do, wherever they happen to be.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

Does the calendar work for multiple staff members?

Yes. Each team member has their own calendar with their own services and hours. You see everyone in one view, or filter to a single stylist.

Can I block out personal time?

Yes. Add personal blocks, lunch, holidays — clients only see slots that are actually available.

Does it sync with Google Calendar?

Two-way Google Calendar sync is in development. For now you can subscribe via iCal feed (read-only) from any standards-compliant calendar app.

Can I set per-stylist opening hours?

Yes. Each stylist has their own weekly schedule plus exception dates for holidays or shorter days.

What if a client books the wrong time?

Drag the appointment to the new slot in the calendar — the client gets an updated confirmation email automatically.

Can I register walk-ins next to online bookings?

Yes. Click the empty slot in the calendar, pick the service and stylist, the appointment is in.

Does the calendar work on my phone?

Yes. Same view on phone, tablet and desktop. The mobile version is fully featured, not a stripped-down version.

What happens with a no-show?

Mark the appointment as no-show in the calendar — the client gets flagged and your no-show rate shows up in reports.

Can I see total revenue per stylist per day?

Yes. The calendar header shows hours booked and revenue per stylist, updated live as bookings come in.
