I use a diary and I brought some appointment cards to give out.

I just use a normal appointment book, you can get them in sallys/salon services/ellisons/beautyexpress/ and I'm sure creative do them, too.

What I've recently started doing is instead of doing a page a day, I do a page for three days - three columns and a day each (I can get a week from a double page spread). I find that it's much easier to keep track of and if a client asks for an appointment in a few weeks, all I have to do is flip a few pages instead of turning over I don't know how many! Plus it lasts longer, so it works out cheaper, lol.

cus theres only little ol'me I use a current years diary....that way I dont have to keep writing the bloomin dates on those appointment book pages!
I know you can get those appointment books with columns for more than one therapist in,from almost all wholesalers but in my opinion they rarely cover the year and I think they are a tad pricey.

That's what I use, but because I use a column a day, I get about a year and a half out of it! Rather than six months.

Also, if you get a six column one, it'll last longer.

I just bought a lovely one from Creative/Designer Nails. It goes up to 10pm which is great, especially if you're mobile.

This sounds good, my book only goes up to 8pm, which is annoying.

I use a normal diary - a tiny one, actually, so it goes absolutely everywhere with me.
I try to back this up with one stored on the pc in Outlook as well, in case of disaster.

Hi ya i use one that i bought from sally's but its very long (doesnt fit into all my bags lol!) and as mentioned before doesnt seem to last, so think i will invest in a diary again instead x

Because my salon is lilac, my dad bought me a wicked lilac leather A5 filofax for Christmas. Filofax do appointment diary infill pages which start at 9 a.m. and have a line for every half hour until 9 p.m.

I can also keep suppliers telephone number and account numbers etc. in the back. Hole punch my price lists for retail products, got note pages etc. The beauty of a Filofax is that at the end of the year I just have to replace the diary part and do not have to transfer all the phone numbers etc.

Small enough to put in my bag, but professional looking to have on the desk. I love it.

I`m with Glynis on this one, I use a filofax which has a day per view which is perfect and at the end of the year I just change the inserts.
Another way is to print them out yourself, I used to do that for when I was in a salon and had to leave it behind cos it was easier for the girls to book clients in for me.
