Calendar Integration
NIIA works with your Google Calendar so you don't have to change the way you run your salon. Connect it once, and NIIA keeps availability, bookings, and stylist schedules in sync automatically.
One calendar, zero headaches
NIIA uses Google Calendar to manage everything:
- Find open slots — NIIA only offers times that are actually free.
- Block booked time — every confirmed booking appears in your calendar right away.
- Stop double-booking — if two clients ask for the same slot, only the first one gets it.
- No manual entry — appointments are saved for you, so your front desk can stay focused on clients.
It works whether you run a solo chair, a boutique studio, or a team of stylists.
Connecting Google Calendar
Setting up takes a few minutes — no technical skills needed.
- In the NIIA dashboard, go to Integrations > Google Calendar.
- Click Connect Google Account and allow calendar access.
- Choose your calendars:
- Primary Salon Calendar — a full view of all appointments.
- Stylist Calendars — link each stylist's Google Calendar to their profile.
- Done. NIIA will manage the rest.
Keeping your day accurate
- A Busy event on a stylist's calendar automatically blocks those slots in NIIA.
- Optional buffer time (for example, 15 minutes between clients) is kept free, so stations aren't overbooked.
How a booking flows
That's the whole journey — from message to confirmed booking — handled automatically.
Safe & reliable by design
- Secure connection — Google Calendar connects safely using Google's standard, encrypted sign-in.
- No double-booking — real-time checking means two clients can't take the same slot.
- Stays calm under pressure — if your calendar is briefly unreachable, NIIA holds the request and lets the salon manager know right away.
