Closing days
Updated on 2026-08-22
Instellingen → Sluitingsdagen (Settings → Closing days).
Hier zet u de dagen waarop het hele salon dicht is. De boekingspagina biedt die dagen niet meer aan, en de agenda zet de naam van de sluiting boven de dag. — This is where you enter the days on which the whole salon is closed. The booking page no longer offers those days, and the calendar puts the name of the closure above the day.
What this is for
Opening hours apply per weekday: open every Tuesday from 9 to 18. A closing day applies to a date — the collective holiday, the fair Monday, the day the floor is replaced.
| Opening hours | Closing days | |
|---|---|---|
| applies per | weekday | date or period |
| used for | your ordinary week | leave, public holidays, building works |
| client can book that day | yes, within the hours | no |
Adding a closure
Click Nieuw (New). Three fields:
| Field | Explanation |
|---|---|
| Naam (name) | Deze naam komt zo in de agenda te staan. — This name is what appears in the calendar. Write it the way you would say it to a client: "Collectief verlof", not "verlof2". |
| Van (from) | the first day you are closed |
| Tot en met (up to and including) | the last day you are closed — that day is still included |
Closing for a single day? Put the same date in both fields. Fill in Van and Tot en met follows along by itself; you only adjust it for a longer period.
Wie 20/07 tot en met 02/08 invult, is ook op 2 augustus nog dicht en gaat op 3 augustus weer open. — Whoever enters 20/07 up to and including 02/08 is still closed on 2 August and reopens on 3 August.
Taking over the Belgian public holidays
The Belgische feestdagen (Belgian public holidays) button at the top shows the ten legal public holidays of a year — including Easter Monday, Ascension Day and Whit Monday, which fall on a different date every year.
You tick which ones you close. That is deliberate:
Een feestdag sluit een kapsalon niet vanzelf. Op 15 augustus wordt er getrouwd, en de zaterdag voor Kerstmis is de drukste dag van het jaar. — A public holiday does not close a hair salon by itself. People marry on 15 August, and the Saturday before Christmas is the busiest day of the year. Anything that assumed you were closed would close your calendar on a day you are open — and you would not notice, because then simply nobody calls.
Whatever you do not tick stays bookable. The name of the public holiday appears in the calendar either way.
Public holidays already covered by a closure — 21 July inside your summer leave, for instance — are no longer in the list. So you cannot create a duplicate closure.
The Jaar (year) dropdown shows this year and the two following ones.
The list
| Column | What you see |
|---|---|
| Sluiting (closure) | the name; if it is also a legal public holiday, that is shown underneath |
| Van / Tot en met (from / up to and including) | the first and the last day |
| Dagen (days) | how many days the closure covers, boundaries included |
| the badge on the right | nu dicht (closed now), komt eraan (coming up) or voorbij (past) |
The Voorbije sluitingen verbergen (hide past closures) toggle is on. Switch it off to see your history; nothing is deleted.
Changing and deleting
Click a row to edit it. Delete with Verwijderen (delete), on the row or at the top of the edit screen.
Verwijdert u een sluiting, dan gaat die dag meteen weer open voor online boekingen. — If you delete a closure, that day immediately reopens for online bookings. So do check that this is what you want.
What changes straight away
- The booking page no longer offers those days, not even if someone is rostered.
- The calendar gets a red strip at the top reading Gesloten (closed) and the name.
- The free-slot finder skips those days.
What this does not do
- It does not notify your clients. Appointments already in the calendar stay there. They are not cancelled and no mail goes out. So check your calendar before you enter a closure.
- It applies to the whole salon. If one employee is away but you stay open, use Absences instead.
- School holidays are not included. HairConnect does not know them and does not invent them; if you want to allow for them, enter them yourself as a closure or leave them open.
