Changing a booking’s duration can be useful, for example, when a particular client’s service takes more or less time than usual. Below, we’ll look at how to conveniently change a booking’s duration from the calendar.

1) Changing the Duration in the Booking View

 
1. Open the SalonLife calendar.
2. Find the client’s booking.
3. Click the booking to open its detailed view.
4. Click the duration field next to the service, which lets you change its length (for example, 30 minutes → 45 minutes).     
5. Click Save, and the booking’s duration automatically updates in the calendar.

2) Changing the Duration by Dragging the Booking

 
1. Open the SalonLife calendar.
2. Go to the booking you want .
3. Grab the bottom edge of the booking (you’ll see a small black arrow in the calendar).
4. Drag the booking to the length you want, longer or shorter, to match how long the client’s service needs to be.
5. Once you finish dragging, the system asks you to confirm-''Are you sure you want to change this booking’s duration?''.
6. Click "Yes," and the booking’s new duration is saved right away.

 TIP:
 If you already know at the time of booking that the duration might differ from usual, it’s worth setting it correctly right away when you add the service. This saves you from changing it later!

And that’s it-you’ve successfully changed your booking’s duration. If you need more help, or have any other questions, feel free to reach out to SalonLife support!
