For salons, spas & personal careSalon & spa scheduling: chairs, rooms & booking-linked coverage
In a salon or spa, the assignment is the booking book made physical: which stylist is at which chair, which therapist in which room, and who covers reception. Keep it synced to the appointments and a cancellation becomes an opportunity, not idle time.
Who’s on the floor
Stylists, estheticians, nail technicians and massage therapists — most licensed — do the client work; a manager or owner runs the floor and the book; assistants and reception prep stations, mix color, shampoo, and manage check-in. The daily assignment places each provider at a chair, station or room and keeps support flexing between them.
Assigning chairs & rooms
Match each stylist or therapist to a station by their specialty and their bookings: color specialists where color is booked, a therapist to the treatment room for their appointments. Keep assistants assigned to a cluster of chairs rather than one, so they flex with demand — prepping the next station while a service runs.
A static chair chart wastes capacity. Assign to where the bookings actually are, and reassign as walk-ins and cancellations reshape the day.
Linked to the booking book
The whole point is that the floor plan and the appointment book agree. When a stylist is running long, or a therapist’s room is double-booked, the assignment has to reflect it so reception isn’t promising a chair that isn’t free. Keeping the two in sync is what stops the awkward “your stylist isn’t ready” moment at the desk.
Cancellations & call-outs
A massage client cancels and the room goes quiet. Free the slot, offer it — rebook a waitlist client or take a walk-in — so the station earns rather than sits idle. And if a stylist calls out, redistribute their booked clients across available providers where possible and update the board so reception can manage expectations.
One board the team can see
A paper chair chart at the desk is invisible to the stylist at the back and the therapist in a closed room. A live board puts each person’s station and bookings on their phone, and any change — a cancellation, a walk-in, a room swap — updates for everyone at once.
AssignMe speaks salon: areas are chairs, stations and rooms, roles are stylists, managers and assistants, and Tunza AI can build the day from the book and free a slot when a client cancels. The board is free to run; the AI is an optional flat add-on.

Can it handle both salon and spa rooms?
Yes — chairs and stations for stylists, treatment rooms for therapists, and shared assistants and reception, all on one board.
Does it replace my booking system?
It complements it — your booking system takes appointments; AssignMe handles who is at which chair or room today and rebalances when things change.
How do staff see their station?
They scan a read-only QR link and see their chair or room on their phone — no account or app.
