Day-to-day operating brief

What Salon Receptionist (Client booking) work looks like in practice

A Salon Receptionist connects clients with suitable services and available practitioners while managing calls, online bookings, deposits, arrivals, tills and retail. The role needs enough service knowledge to allocate appointment length and required tests without giving technical or medical advice. Terms should define diary authority, access to client records, cancellations, discounts and refunds, cash reconciliation, messages, complaints, marketing consent and confidentiality around high-profile clients. Diary notes should record accessibility, practitioner preference and preparation instructions without collecting unnecessary health detail at reception. Technical disclosures can be flagged securely for the treating professional rather than repeated across informal messages. Waiting-list contact should preserve the client's requested practitioner, service length and notice needs. Filling a cancellation quickly is not helpful if the substitute slot cannot accommodate access requirements or required preparation. Gift vouchers require issue, redemption, expiry and balance controls distinct from deposits, ensuring reception can explain value without altering the underlying treatment booking.

Check required pre-appointment steps.
Manage deposits cancellations and waiting lists.
