Book the next visit
The client is still in the chair and wants to be back in four weeks. One tap on their appointment does the whole booking, already filled in.

The moment to book someone's next visit is while they're still in front of you. Open the appointment they've just had and the panel offers to do it for you.
The chips
Under the appointment's actions you'll find a row headed Book next visit — same services, same time of day, with four shortcuts:
+1w · +2w · +4w · +6w
Tap one and the booking panel opens in place of the details panel, already carrying everything about the visit that just happened: the client, the same services, the same stylist, the same time of day, and the date jumped forward by however many weeks you picked. All you do is check it and press Book appointment.
That's the whole point of it. Booking a returning client from scratch means finding them, finding the service, picking the stylist and hunting for a time — for someone whose answer to all four questions is "the same as last time".
When they show up
The chips appear once the visit is real — while it's In service, once it's Completed, and on a Canceled appointment too.
That last one is deliberate. A cancellation is the best rebooking opportunity you get all week: the client already wanted the appointment, something just got in the way, and the fastest thing you can say is "no problem — same time the week after?" Their whole booking is one tap from being back on the grid.
Where the numbers come from
One, two, four and six weeks cover the intervals almost every salon actually runs on — a fringe trim, a nail infill, a colour, a cut. If your rhythm is different, take the nearest chip and edit the date. You're never more than a couple of keystrokes from the right day.
Common questions
Does tapping a chip book them straight away?
No. It opens the booking panel with everything already filled in, and you still press Book appointment yourself. Nothing is committed behind your back — you get to move the time, swap the stylist, or change the service first.
What if four weeks isn't the right gap?
Pick the nearest chip and edit the date in the panel. The chips are a running start, not a rule. Most people take one look at the date it lands on and nudge it a few days either way.
They want a different stylist next time. Can I change that?
Yes, in the panel like any other booking. The chips carry over the stylist who just did the work because that's right far more often than it's wrong, but nothing about it is locked.
Why do the chips show on a cancelled appointment?
Because that's exactly when you want them. Someone cancelling is the moment to say "shall I put you in for the following week instead?" — and their whole booking is right there, one tap from being back on the grid.
The appointment had two stylists on it. What happens?
It rebooks under the stylist who leads the appointment, with all the services attached. If the second stylist needs to be on it too, set that in the panel before you book.
