Hair and beauty
Appointments built from named services, eligible people, and durations.
Fit boundary. One combined service is not proof of a multi-service shopping basket. Unattended colour-processing time and shared-chair capacity are not established.
Proposed scenario, not a product edition
Hair salons
A customer books one configured service with an eligible stylist. The stored duration, including any preparation or cleanup already saved on that service, is what the diary occupies.
Related catalogue entries. Create and edit a service, Practitioner eligibility, Weekly hours, Signed-in booking, Stored duration and buffer times, Several services in one visit
Do not assume. Unattended colour-processing stages, chair rental, and stylist-specific prices are not shown in the local evidence. Several services in one visit are unresolved, so a colour-and-cut visit is one configured service unless a later check says otherwise.
Proposed scenario, not a product edition
Barbers
Keep the menu small. A combined cut and beard can be written as one service with its own duration and price.
Related catalogue entries. Create and edit a service, Practitioner eligibility, Weekly hours, Signed-in booking, Several services in one visit
Do not assume. A live walk-in queue, ticketing, and prices that change by barber are not included. One configured combined service is not proof that a customer can add several services during booking.
Proposed scenario, not a product edition
Beauty salons
Use ordinary service names so a customer does not have to know an internal treatment code.
Related catalogue entries. Create and edit a service, Practitioner eligibility, Weekly hours, Signed-in booking
Do not assume. Automatic suitability checks and an open-ended combination engine are not included.
Proposed scenario, not a product edition
Nail technicians
Removal and a new application are separate services when they take different amounts of time.
Related catalogue entries. Create and edit a service, Practitioner eligibility, Weekly hours, Signed-in booking, Stored duration and buffer times
Do not assume. A nail-art price calculator and add-on buttons are not verified.
Proposed scenario, not a product edition
Lash and brow studios
A first visit and a maintenance visit are two services. Editing one does not rewrite an existing booking by itself.
Related catalogue entries. Create and edit a service, Practitioner eligibility, Weekly hours, Signed-in booking, Change or archive a service
Do not assume. Patch-test gates, elapsed-time pricing, and automatic refill qualification are not included.
Proposed scenario, not a product edition
Makeup artists
A trial and the event appointment are different services. Extra arrangements can be written in ordinary registration questions when those questions are published.
Related catalogue entries. Create and edit a service, Practitioner eligibility, Weekly hours, Signed-in booking, Registration questions
Do not assume. Travel routing, wedding-party capacity, and automatic multi-person packages are not included.
Wellness
One-to-one sessions. Packages, rooms, and classes are not assumed.
Fit boundary. Shared rooms, group capacity, prepaid courses and online appointment payments are separate requirements, not implied by a session menu.
Proposed scenario, not a product edition
Massage practices
Each length is its own service, offered only with eligible therapists, and it keeps its stored turnaround.
Related catalogue entries. Create and edit a service, Practitioner eligibility, Weekly hours, Signed-in booking, Stored duration and buffer times
Do not assume. A single service that changes length on the booking page, insurance billing, and diagnosis are not included.
Proposed scenario, not a product edition
Day spas
Categories are a way to explain the menu. The booking still occupies the staff time the service records.
Related catalogue entries. Create and edit a service, Practitioner eligibility, Weekly hours, Signed-in booking, Multi-person procedures and shared resources
Do not assume. Couples rooms, spa packages, facility access, and shared equipment are older coordination ideas and are not in the standard pilot.

Specialist practices
Scheduling can be described. Clinical systems are not part of this offer.
Fit boundary. Appointment scheduling is not clinical suitability assessment, dental charting, a complete clinical record, or a compliance certification. Specialist modules need their own qualification.
Proposed scenario, not a product edition
Aesthetic clinics
A consultation and a later review are separate appointments. Eligible people are chosen on the service.
Related catalogue entries. Create and edit a service, Practitioner eligibility, Weekly hours, Signed-in booking, Doctor notes, Aftercare and recommendations
Do not assume. Prescribing, automatic suitability, and a complete clinical record are not in this offer. Older clinic notes and aftercare stay outside the standard pilot.
