Two stylists, one appointment: colour and cut booked online in Canada
Your colourist does the balayage and your senior stylist does the cut, and on a Saturday in October that is the visit half your clients want. Most booking pages make her book two separate appointments and hope the times line up. Slotora's booking page lets her choose both services, a person for each, and one start time — and lines the two up back to back in your diary.

Nothing she has to learn: one more question, and only when it is needed.
01
Picks the services
A root colour and a cut, a cut and a brow tint, a pedicure and a manicure — up to six services in one visit, in the order she wants them done.
02
Picks the people, if you show your team
When one person can do everything she chose, that person is offered first, with a small link to choose per service. When nobody can, she is asked for a person per service straight away.
03
Picks one start time
The services follow each other with no wait between them except each service's own buffer. Each part takes as long as that stylist takes, and is checked against her hours, her other bookings and any room it needs.
04
Confirms once
If the services take a deposit, she pays it once for the whole visit, by card into your Stripe account, priced for the people actually doing it.
What your salon sees
In the diary each part is its own booking in its own column, at its own time, and the parts are linked as one visit. The colourist's column is blocked only for the colour; the cutter's only for the cut, so neither of them loses an hour to the other's service.
At month end each part counts for the person who did it. A deposit taken online for the whole visit is split between the parts according to what each one cost, so commission and the takings per person come out right without anyone dividing by hand.
If you have more than one location, every part happens at the address the client chose, using each stylist's hours at that address.
One switch, and the cases it covers
The setting is called Clients may book different team members for one visit, and it is on unless you turn it off.
Team shown
She can choose a person per service, or leave it to anyone and get the earliest times that work.
Team hidden
She just sees start times; behind them, a time may be shared between two people.
A chair renter
A self-employed stylist is never part of a shared visit, because one deposit cannot land in two accounts. She still takes whole visits.
Everyone paid separately
If each person in your salon is paid into her own account, shared visits are not offered at all.
What she receives
One confirmation email, one reminder email and one calendar file for the visit. Each lists every service with its time and, where your team is shown, the name of the person doing it: the colour at 1:30 with one stylist, the cut at 3:15 with another. Slotora does not send texts to Canadian numbers yet, so these go by email.
Her own link to the booking shows the same plan. If she moves the visit from that link, each service keeps its person, and the whole visit moves together.
Where it stops
Plainly, before a busy Saturday finds it for you:
- Two people at once
- Two stylists working on her at the same time cannot be booked online. The desk can still set that up.
- The order is hers
- Slotora keeps the services in the order she picked; it does not reshuffle them to find an earlier slot.
- All or nothing from her link
- She can move or cancel the whole visit from her link, not one part of it.
- One day, six services
- A shared visit fits on one day and holds at most six services.
Questions about shared visits
Can a client book a colour with one stylist and a cut with another online?
Yes. She picks both services, a person for each if your team is shown, and one start time; the two are booked back to back as one visit.
Do I need to turn anything on?
No, it is on by default. If you want one person per online visit, switch it off in the booking page settings.
How is a deposit handled for a shared visit?
She pays one deposit for the visit. In your reports it is split between the parts according to what each service cost.
Will both stylists be named in her reminder?
Yes, if your team is shown on the booking page. The email lists each service with its time and the person doing it.
Can a chair renter be part of a shared visit?
No. A self-employed stylist's money goes to her own account, and one payment cannot be split across two accounts, so she takes whole visits only.
