[Upcoming feature] Stylist pricing & duration

[aazhang]

Hi Health & Beauty sellers,

We’re excited to share that Stylist pricing & duration is in the works!

What it is

Set a different price and duration for each staff member who performs a service. For example, the same service could cost $65 with one stylist and $110 with another - without creating separate services or variations.

We’d love your feedback on two specific areas:

1. Setting a base price and duration

Each service would have a base price and duration that applies to your whole team. You’d only need to customize the staff members who charge a different price or need more time.

Anyone without a customization would continue using the base settings, including whenever you update them.

Does this match how you manage pricing today, or do you think of every stylist’s price and duration separately?

2. Changing the stylist on an appointment

Imagine a client books with Maya for $80, but Chris(who charges $120) ends up performing the service.

• Before the appointment: Should the price automatically update to Chris’s rate, or should the client keep the price they were originally quoted?
• After the appointment has been completed and paid for: Should you be able to charge or refund the difference, or should the payment stay the same while you update the stylist for commission and tip reporting?

If you have additional feedback or use-cases related to Styling pricing & duration, feel free to also share that below.

I’m interested in joining this Beta! I already do this exact thing but with separate variations on the service.

Hey! Thank you for this! I would absolutely use this feature - we have different tier options now and have to create individual services for. This would make booking more simplified for the client. 

we would also love the ability to set our service modifiers to certain service providers. 

for instance, we have a modifier to add dermaplaning to a facial, but only 2 of the 4 prodividers offer dermaplaning, but all 4 providers can provide the facial. 

it would be easiest to assign all 4 providers the facial, and then the modifier can be added on only if the client is booking with a provider who offers that treatment. I hope that makes sense!!

I’m just curious on what would the difference be on what I’m doing now vs the new features? I have like 2 options under lets say a Haircut of Senior Stylist and Junior Stylist and options with prices and different duration already.

Yes we should have the ability to change each stylist price and duration.

i also believe there should be a way we can change the commission rate for different services and for each stylist.

It looks great for a salon. with multiply staff.  I am a solo artist. I am disappointed Square is moving a way from solo Artist. Adding new features totally unnecessary for a solo artist and raising the price. I am actively looking after over 20 years with square at a new system. Taking away Processing time. Going from $29 to $49 a month for simple necessary features for a solo artist. It is poop of square.
