Salon staff scheduling
Salon staff scheduling that knows who is actually on the floor
Fair Flow schedules your team’s shifts — not client appointments. Keep your booking tool for clients; build the staff week in Fair Flow, next to the time clock, inbox and turn system.
Staff scheduling vs client scheduling
Search for “salon scheduling software” and most results are client booking calendars. That is a different job. Fair Flow does not book clients. Its schedule answers who is working, when — and it connects to the clock that confirms who actually arrived.
| Client booking tool | Fair Flow staff schedule | |
|---|---|---|
| Schedules | Client appointments | Staff shifts |
| Used by | Clients and the front desk | Owners, managers and staff |
| Time off | Not its focus | Approved vacation blocks the schedule automatically |
| Clock-in | Usually separate | Same system as the time clock |
Building the week
- Staff schedules built from availability, approved requests and preferences
- Requests for schedule changes, extra shifts and time off come in through the employee inbox
- Approved vacation blocks that time on the schedule automatically
Schedule and time clock in one place
The salon time clock uses the same schedule: the owner sets a 15 or 30-minute early window, clock-in takes a photo, and the clock works only from the salon location. More tips in salon staff scheduling tips.
