# Appointments vs. Same-Day Haircut Requests: What’s the Difference?

Haircut Now offers two different ways for clients to find barber availability.

### Appointments

Appointments are used when a client wants to choose a specific barber and reserve an available appointment time.

The client can:

- Choose you specifically.
- Select one of your available services.
- Choose an available appointment date and time.
- Receive confirmation and reminders.

You control your regular appointment services, prices, and availability.

### Same-Day Requests

Same-Day Requests are designed for clients looking for a haircut today.

They operate separately from your regular appointment calendar.

Haircut Now determines the services and prices available for Same-Day Requests, and your regular appointment schedule does not control the Same-Day Request system.

Enabling one system does not mean they function the same way.
