Schedulista provides online appointment scheduling software for your business or organization to allow your clients to book with you 24/7.

The Split Appointment feature for services is designed specifically for hair stylists and salons to allow you to take gap appointments during the processing time when dyeing or coloring a client's hair.

For businesses with the terms "hair" or "salon" in their name, and businesses that selected "beauty: hair" for their business type, this feature should automatically be available.

For all others, contact us at support@schedulista.com to enable the feature, if needed.

With the feature enabled for your account, the Split appointment option will be visible when adding a new service or editing an existing service.
