Salon & barbershop scheduling
Staff scheduling for salons and barbershops
Daypart handles the staff side of a salon or barbershop: who's working which days, who's off, and how the chairs are covered through the week. Stylists and barbers set their availability, request time off, and pick up open days — all from their phones.
One thing to be upfront about: Daypart is a staff scheduling tool, not a client-booking system. It won't take appointments from your clients. If you want to plan your team's shifts cleanly without an HR platform, that's exactly what it's for.

Built for how salons actually run.
See who's on which day
Build the week so every chair is covered, with stylists and barbers color-coded by role. The whole week reads at a glance.
Time off and day-off requests
A clean approval queue for vacation and day-off requests, with a 7-second undo and a full history on every decision.
Availability for commission and part-time staff
Each person sets the days and hours they can work; the builder flags conflicts before you publish.
Fill an open day fast
Post an open shift when someone's out and let the rest of the team claim it from the app.
Built for how small shops actually work
The schedule, handled.
Four questions, answered fast: who's working, who's available, what's open, what changed.
Weekly schedule builder
Drag a shift onto a day, snap to half-hour cells, copy last week with one button. The week comes together in minutes.
Availability collection
Each teammate sets when they can work — split shifts welcome. The builder flags conflicts with a sunset ring before you publish.
Publish in one tap
Push the week live and every assigned teammate gets the update — in the Activity feed, by email, or both. No group text needed.
Shift swaps & trades
Crew requests a drop or a two-way trade. Manager approves with a 7-second undo. Full audit trail on every decision.
Open shifts to claim
Post an unfilled shift; qualified teammates see it on the app. First come, first scheduled — the row drops out of the list.
Time-off requests
A clean approval queue with the same undo-and-change-decision UX as swaps. Approvals flow straight onto the schedule.
Day-level events row
Pin an Event, Promo, Holiday, Closure, or Note above each day so the whole week reads at a glance. Color-coded chips, manager-edited, employee read-only.
Smart notifications
Schedule published. Swap approved. Shift starts in 30. Ten kinds of notifications, throttled so no one gets spammed during weekly planning.
Print-friendly schedule
Black-and-white weekly schedule for the fridge or the back-of-house corkboard. Density toggle for poster or handout sizing.
What we're not building.
No payroll. No tax filings. No HR onboarding flows. No multi-state compliance maze. Daypart is a scheduling command center — not another HR platform you have to babysit. We'll integrate with the tools you already use for the rest.

Salons — FAQ
Common questions
Does Daypart book client appointments?
No. Daypart schedules your staff's shifts, not client appointments. If you need online client booking, pair Daypart with a dedicated booking tool — Daypart handles who's working, they handle who's coming in.Can stylists request time off in the app?
Yes. Stylists and barbers request time off (full days or specific hours) from their phones, and managers approve from a clean queue with an undo.Is there a mobile app for the team?
Yes — a native iOS app shows each person their upcoming shifts and lets them set availability, request time off, and claim open days.
