Staff availability

Part-time stylist hours so clients never book on their day off.

Staff availability

Set individual schedules for every stylist — including part-timers who work three days a week or vary their hours each fortnight. Clients only see stylists available on the day they want to book, and no one gets an embarrassing call to say their stylist is not in.

Clients only see real open slots — never ones your team cannot fill.

  • Assign different daily hours to each stylist based on their individual contracted schedule.
  • Block individual days off with a single click — the stylist's calendar updates instantly.
  • Show only stylists who are genuinely in on the selected booking date — no filtering required by clients.

Xircuit's staff availability module lets you set working hours, recurring schedules and one-off exceptions for every team member. The booking system draws directly from live availability — so clients are only ever offered slots that someone on your team can actually take.

Real-time availability

Staff schedules feed live into the booking engine — no lag, no manual updates between a rota change and client-facing slots.

Exception handling

Block individual days, holidays or training sessions as one-off exceptions without rebuilding the whole schedule.

Per-staff working hours

Set different hours for each team member — part-timers, job-sharers and contractors all managed correctly from the start.

Cover and substitution

Reassign services to a cover colleague instantly when someone calls in sick — affected clients can be notified automatically.

Bank-holiday and closure cascade

Apply a closure across all staff with one action — public holidays, refurbishments and emergency closures handled in seconds.

Staff availability

Hair salons with part-time stylists on staggered schedules that manage availability in Xircuit typically eliminate wrong-day booking mistakes entirely.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I set different hours for different days of the week?

Yes. Each staff member has a day-by-day schedule so you can configure different start and end times for every day of the working week.

What happens to bookings when a staff member goes on holiday?

Add a holiday block to their schedule and Xircuit hides their slots automatically for that period. Existing bookings in that window are flagged so you can reassign or contact clients proactively.

Can I share a role across multiple staff members?

Yes. Assign a service to multiple staff and clients will be offered any slot where at least one of them is available — the system handles the distribution automatically.
