I called the salon on my lunch break. "Do you have any openings on Friday?" I asked. She found a slot at four.
I scrolled through the calendar on screen. "Is Saturday at seven available?" I asked. She confirmed and took my name.
The place was popular and always packed. "How far in advance should I book?" I asked. She said at least two weeks for weekends.
I wasn't sure if walk-ins were okay. "Do I need a reservation, or can I just come?" I asked. She said a booking was safer.
My schedule had suddenly opened up. "Any chance you can fit me in this afternoon?" I asked. She squeezed me in at three.
