Salons and spas
Booking for salons, spas and anyone with a chair or a class.
Deposits on appointments. Per-seat prices on classes. Waitlists when a session is full. The calendar behind it belongs to the person who is actually working.

A deposit is what keeps the chair full
Salon and spa businesses know no-shows by heart. A deposit at booking changes the conversation. Payments can take the deposit or the full price before the appointment is confirmed. Your cancellation rule decides what is refunded.
Services are meeting types: a cut, a color, a 45-minute session, a class. Each has a length that matches the work, not a generic half hour.
Classes, seats and waitlists
Group types carry a seat count, a price per seat and a waitlist. When someone cancels inside the rules, the next person can take the seat. That is a better fit than a one-on-one link pretending to be a class.
A personal training business — privates, session packs, peak-hour prices — belongs on the personal trainers page. A class inside a salon can stay here, on hours that do not collide with a treatment.
More than one stylist
If clients may see anyone who is free, use round-robin team scheduling. If they must see a named person, give that person a page. Do not mix those. People book a stylist, not a logo.
Each person connects their own calendar. A shared room can be a calendar too, so two people are not given the same chair. Pro checks up to six calendars per person.
When a salon suite is the better product
BookMyTime is scheduling and payment, not a point-of-sale with inventory and retail. If you need stock, memberships and a till, read the Acuity alternative and Setmore alternative notes before you migrate a whole shop.
If what you need is deposits, classes and a booking button on the site you already have, embed the widget and turn on reminders.
