Customer tags, the basics

Color-coded labels that help you categorise and recognise customers at a glance

Customer Tags Overview

Customer tags help you categorize and organize your clients for better service and communication.

What Are Customer Tags?

Tags are color-coded labels you can assign to customers to identify them quickly. Examples:

  • VIP - Your premium customers
  • New Client - Recently joined customers
  • Allergy Alert - Customers with known allergies
  • Frequent Visitor - Regular customers
  • Staff Family - Family of staff members

Where Tags Appear

Once assigned, tags are visible throughout the application:

Booking Modal

  • Search Results - Tags appear as colored badges when searching for customers
  • Client Profile Panel - All assigned tags shown in the left panel
  • VIP Badge - Special gold star indicator for VIP customers

Calendar

  • Appointment Hover - Tags shown when hovering over appointments
  • VIP Indicator - Gold star badge for VIP customer appointments

Customer Profile

  • Profile Header - All tags displayed prominently
  • Tag Management - Add/remove tags easily

Benefits of tags

  1. Quick identification: spot important customers at a glance.
  2. Better service: prepare for customers with special needs.
  3. Organisation: group customers for marketing.
  4. Team communication: everyone sees the same labels.

Use case scenarios

Scenario 1: Allergy alerts

A customer mentions during a haircut that hair color makes her scalp itchy. You add the Allergy alert tag with a note "Reacts to ammonia-based dye". Six months later, a different colorist sees the red badge before opening the booking, asks her, switches to ammonia-free formula. Disaster avoided.

Scenario 2: VIP recognition

Your top 5% spenders all get the VIP tag. Reception sees the gold star on the booking and offers a glass of champagne. The customer feels seen. The lifetime value compounds.

Scenario 3: Difficult customer flag

A customer was rude to staff last visit. You add a Demanding tag (only visible to staff). Next time she books, the front desk knows to assign your most experienced colleague.

Scenario 4: Marketing segment seed

You tag all customers who came through your TikTok promo "TikTok 2026". Three months later you can run a segment "TikTok 2026 + No visit in 60 days" and send them a tailored win-back.
