Online appointment requests for cosmetologists — treatment time and buffer count together
An add-on requested alongside a longer treatment is extra time on the calendar too.
A facial cleanse, eyebrow shaping and a longer treatment each need different time; with several services the durations add up. You set the length and the buffer, then only confirm the request you can genuinely take on.
Why it's good as a cosmetologist
An add-on treatment is time too
If the client asks for eyebrow shaping alongside the longer treatment, Bokko adds up the durations and the configured buffers — you don't have to do it in your head.
Longer treatments, with their own duration and buffer
A facial cleanse and an anti-aging treatment need different time. You can set a duration and buffer per service; the offered times already account for them.
Returning clients
For a returning client you see their previous bookings and your own notes; for a new client you decide whether to approve the request or propose another time.
How controlled appointment requests work
-
The client requests an appointment
They pick the treatment or treatments they'd come in for.
-
You confirm
You see the requested treatments and the full time needed, buffer included; you confirm, or propose another time.
-
Bokko handles the rest
Notification of your decision and the reminders you have enabled — in one place.
What you gain
For you
Bokko accounts for the full configured time of longer and add-on treatments, buffer included.
For the client
In one request they can pick the treatments they want, and they get a clear notification about the final appointment.
See it on a sample cosmetics atelier
Try it the way your client will: choose a service, send an appointment request, then see as the owner how it arrives and how it's handled.

What you get as a cosmetologist
Request-first appointments
The client doesn't auto-book — they request, you decide. Before approval a request is not a final appointment.
Several services in one request
If the client picks several services, Bokko adds up their durations and the configured buffers.
Automatic notifications
The client is notified of your decision; Bokko automatically sends the appointment reminders you have enabled.
