In short

  • A break blocks an exact part of your day from new appointments.
  • Ask the calendar manager to add it unless the salon has given you that responsibility.

A break is a calendar block with a start and end. It keeps that part of the day from being offered for a new appointment.

  1. Ask the person who manages the calendar to add a break for you, or open the calendar block flow if the salon has given you that responsibility.
  2. Choose your name, the break type, and the exact start and end.
  3. Save, then look at your day to confirm the block is in the right place.
