For a barbershop, this means you can create calendars for services such as haircuts, shaves, and styling—each linked to the right barber, chair, and tools. This ensures customers can book easily while your team avoids scheduling conflicts. --- ## **Key Benefits of Service Calendars** Service Calendars help barbershops streamline scheduling, improve efficiency, and enhance customer experience. - **Automated Scheduling**: Customers book appointments without calling the shop. - **Resource Management**: Assign chairs and tools (razors, dryers, shears) to prevent double bookings. - **Staff Scheduling**: Define barbers’ working hours for accurate availability. - **Service Grouping**: Organize offerings into groups like “Haircuts & Shaves” or “Styling.” - **Flexible Menus**: Offer multiple services in one booking (e.g., haircut + shave). - **Professional Branding**: Add images and custom colors for a polished booking page. --- ## **Adding Staff Members and Availability** Adding staff is the foundation of service calendars since no service can be assigned without barbers set up. ### **Click Add User** From your subaccount dashboard, Navigate to **Settings → My Staff → Add User.** ![Click Add User (image 1 of 20)](https://s3.amazonaws.com/cdn.freshdesk.com/data/helpdesk/attachments/production/155054586982/original/PjK4QWFebF5gFuiex0J57iCJtuyMllcsug.png) **Click Add User (image 1 of 20)** This screenshot appears in the "Click Add User" section of "Barbershops - Service Calendar Setup Guide".
