Appointment vs walk-in billing: how modern salons keep both flowing

Most Sri Lankan salons mix booked appointments with walk-ins. Spreadsheets break when the floor gets busy — especially when a client adds a product at checkout.

Convert an appointment into a bill in seconds, let reception add walk-ins to the same day board, and keep payment methods flexible (cash, card, splits).

Staff assignment matters for accountability. When every service is tied to a stylist and a customer record, end-of-day reconciliation becomes routine.
