Who are you?
Start by filling out some basic information. Enter your name as you would like it to appear on the page, and make sure you click the “I am a student and want a student profile” box. Next type in the name of your School (learn more), and put down the date of your graduation.
NOTE: When you begin typing your school’s name you’ll notice a drop down menu appears. Make sure to click on your school when you see it so you will be connected with your School Page. If you do not see your school, type it in and we will add it.

NOTE: Your availability is not yet customizable, but we teach you a couple workarounds here.

When are you working?
Set your availability so your clients know when you are available and can book online. First go to “My Profile” and then click “Edit Profile” and click the tab labeled “Availability”.
Set up
Check the days that you work and fill in your hours. When clients go to book appointments they will only be able to book within your available hours. (Note: you can still book appointments internally during “off” hours in your Schedule)
Lunch break
There’s an optional space to block off breaks and lunches. Be sure to fill this out so clients see you as unavailable during this time.
Take some time off!
If you want to block off a day that you usually work you can go to your “Schedule” and select the day you would like to block off. If you click on your calendar and the appointment box will pop:
Click the teal link that reads: “Block Off Personal Time”.
Now you can set the hours of the day/time you want to block off. Click the “Save” button. Your personal time will be blocked off in teal on your calendar as shown below:
NOTE
We don’t have customizable availability yet, but we plan to add it soon. If you want to open up a day that you usually have off, a work-around would be open up the extra day you want to work in your “Availability” tab and and then manually block off that day with personal time for any other weeks that you won’t be available that day.
