Salon: book appointments and walk-ins
Book a client for a service with a stylist at a set time, take an advance, see each stylist’s day on the calendar, check clients in when they arrive and turn the finished appointment into a bill at the salon counter, with the stylist’s commission worked out.
Updated
A salon account has an Appointments screen for the day’s bookings and walk-in queue, and a Calendar with one column per stylist. Both are in the sidebar. An appointment moves from Booked to Aa gaye (arrived), Chair par (in the chair) and Ho gaya (done), and then becomes a bill at the Salon counter.
Book an appointment and bill it
Step 1: Start a booking
On Appointments press Booking (or N). Choose Booking (baad ka waqt) for a later time, or Walk-in (abhi aaye) for a client who is already here (W from the list).
Step 2: Pick the client
Search by name or phone under Customer dhoondein, or type a new name and phone. Choosing a saved client keeps their history and khata together.
Step 3: Add services and stylist
Under Services aur stylist, choose the service and the stylist, or leave the stylist for later. Leave Rate empty to use the list rate. Aur service adds another service.
Step 4: Set the time
Pick the Date and Waqt. Nafaa lists the stylist’s other bookings that day under Is din stylist ki bookings, so you can avoid a clash.
Step 5: Take an advance (optional)
Enter Advance amount. It is credited to the client’s khata and taken off the bill automatically. Press Booking pakki karein.
Step 6: Check in and bill
When the client arrives, open the appointment and press Customer aa gaye, then Chair par — kaam shuru. When the work is done, press Kaam ho gaya — bill banayein: the salon counter opens with the services, and the stylist’s commission is worked out on the bill.
