What appointment slot length means

Appointment slot length is the total time a client can book on your calendar for one service. It is bigger than pure lashing time because real appointments include workflow steps before and after application.

Lash techs often run behind when they forget to include consultation, prep, checkout, cleanup, and normal delays. A realistic slot gives you room to deliver quality without rushing the next client.

When your slots are accurate, your day stays smoother, client expectations stay clear, and your earning capacity is easier to predict.

Bookable slot formula

Formula

Bookable Slot Length = service time + consult + prep + finishing + checkout + cleanup + cushion
