Booking Tips
Here are some tips to help you move quickly on booking day.
IGOTCHU BOO. :)
Now remember, in order to keep the booking process as fair as I possibly can, I have all of my new clients book online! I open my books one month at a time, allowing myself to stay scheduled out for about a month.
If you're trying to book right now it will say that I have nothing available so just wait until the next booking release date and make sure to move quickly through the booking process - each month usually fills up in less than 5 minutes!
TIP ONE : Move Quickly!
My best advice is that during the next round of booking to have all of your information pre-loaded into your computer with Autofill so that when booking you only have to enter the first letter or two of your name and Autofill will do the rest! (Unfortunately my software will give the appointment to whoever fills out the information the quickest, even if someone else selected the time slot first! This is my ONLY complaint with the booking software I’m using. I’ve contacted the company a couple times and they’re working on the issue!)
If you don't know how to preload your info here are some helpful videos that will show you how! :)

TIP TWO : Be Prepared!
I have had quite a few people who have missed out on booking tell me that appointments will disappear right in front of their eyes! This usually happens if you aren't quite quick enough picking out your appointment date & time or filling out your information (which is why I suggest AutoFill to cut your time down). I suggest making either a mental or physical list of dates and times that will work for you if your schedule is not flexible enough to blindly select a date when the gates open!
I ask that everyone understands that I am only one person and I can only physically do so many appointments in a day, and I do my best to get to as many people as I can without wearing myself out! :)

TIP THREE : Be On Time!
On booking day I sit with my finger on the button to open booking at 6:59pm and the second I see it hit 7:00pm CST sharp, I open the month. This means that if you're sitting on the computer the second the clock hits 7:00pm and it still says nothing is available, refresh your page! There may be a little lag, or if your internet connection isn't great maybe go somewhere that has a speedy and reliable internet connection.
I definitely do NOT suggest trying to log onto the website right at 7:00pm, because you may already be too late! I suggest being ready to go with the website pulled up to the main booking page 10 or 15 minutes before hand (setting an alarm to remind you on your phone is a good idea too)! :)
