Custom service duration for accurate online booking

A 30-minute trim and a 90-minute color treatment are not the same slot. Duration-aware services prevent gaps and double-booked chairs.

Key takeaways

  • Define duration per service in your catalog.
  • Add buffers between appointments when you need cleanup or travel time.
  • Clients pick the service — duration follows automatically.

Why one-size slots fail

Generic 30-minute grids break for salons, clinics, and consultants who sell different session lengths. Customers book the wrong slot; staff lose trust in the calendar.

Duration in FLEXY

Each service carries its own duration (and optional buffer). Portal booking and staff calendars use those values for availability and display.
