How to Book Your Appointments Like a Pro (and When to Pre-Book)

Let’s be honest — life gets busy. Between work, family, and everything in between, it’s easy to let your next hair appointment slip your mind. But if you’ve ever found yourself in that “uh oh, my roots are showing” moment or can’t get in with your favorite stylist for weeks, you already know why pre-booking is a game-changer.

At Ciao Bella, we want every client to feel confident and stress-free when it comes to scheduling — and that starts with knowing how and when to book like a pro.

✨ Why Pre-Booking Matters

Your hair looks and feels best when you stay on a consistent schedule. Waiting too long between appointments can mean faded color, split ends, or loss of shape — and nobody wants that!

Pre-booking helps you:

• Secure your ideal time and stylist (especially during busy seasons like holidays or wedding months).

• Keep your color fresh and consistent — no unwanted root lines or dull tones.

• Stay on track with your hair goals, whether that’s growing length, maintaining a style, or transitioning to something new.

• Avoid the last-minute scramble of trying to squeeze in when everyone else is booked up.

🗓️ When to Pre-Book

The ideal time to pre-book depends on your hair type, service, and routine. Here’s a quick guide our stylists recommend:

• Color services: Every 6–8 weeks for most shades, or sooner if you wear bright blondes or reds.

• Haircuts: Every 6–10 weeks or even 2-3 weeks for short cuts, depending on your style and how quickly your hair grows.

• Smoothing or keratin treatments: Every 3–5 months for best results.

• Extensions: Every 6–8 weeks for maintenance appointments.

Your stylist can help you customize a schedule that works best for your hair and lifestyle before you check out — that way, you never have to think twice.

💡 Tips for Booking Like a Pro

Want to make scheduling even easier? Try these insider tips:

1. Book before you leave the salon. It only takes a minute, and you’ll walk out knowing your next appointment is set.

2. Use our online booking system. You can browse available times and reserve your spot 24/7.

3. Set reminders on your phone or calendar. This helps you plan around events, vacations, or special occasions.

4. Book extra early during the holidays. November and December fill up faster than any other time of year!
