At 3:15 I had two balayage requests hit while our lead stylist had a 25-minute toning window, and I hesitated on stacking them versus protecting the buffer. If you’re front desk, do you double-book during processing in Boulevard and lean on assistants, or keep a hard 15-minute cushion so the 5:30 cuts don’t slip?
I think it really depends on your team’s flow — agree on the timing part — just make sure your assistants are prepped to jump in… Have you tested different alignments with your bookings yet?
It’s a fine line we walk, isn’t it? I’ve found a flexible 10-minute cushion can help avoid chaos, especially with assistants ready to jump in… Have you tried adjusting that buffer time?
