    Scheduling software?

    Any ideas on the best salon scheduler for a nail salon with no receptionist? Thinking something has to connect to everyone's calendar using google, but would like to hear any alternatives.

    Increasing prices when you're charging 40% below industry averages?

    I like the idea of record cards. This can help personalize things and possibly upsell in the future.

    Increasing prices when you're charging 40% below industry averages?

    Another question I have is how should I buffer time in between online appointments? Should there be a buffer time at all?

    Increasing prices when you're charging 40% below industry averages?

    Thanks for the replies. So I will be getting an online booking system. Also, I think just in general this month is traditionally bad for most Salons. I think raising prices is the right thing to do, but not sure if it's the right idea to do it at this moment simply because we are only booked...

    Increasing prices when you're charging 40% below industry averages?
