Getting started

Your free trial, setting up your salon, signing in and finding your way around.

• Welcome to FullColumn

  What FullColumn is, its three parts (the staff app, your booking page and your clients' links), where each one lives, and how the one plan works.

• Signing up and your free trial

  Sign your salon up for FullColumn, choose its address, and see what the free trial includes and what happens when it ends.

• A checklist for setting up your salon

  Everything to set up in a new FullColumn salon, in order, from business details and opening hours to your team, services, reminders, payments and booking page.

• Trying FullColumn on your own clients before you switch over

  When you import from your old booking system, set up first: try everything on your real clients before they get texts or emails, then switch.

• Signing in, switching salons and resetting your password

  Sign in to FullColumn with your email and password, choose your password from an invite, switch between salons, and get a new password if you forget it.

• Two-step sign-in with an authenticator app

  Protect your FullColumn sign-in with a code from an app on your phone, keep recovery codes, move to a new phone, and require it for your managers and team.

• Signing in with a passkey (Face ID, fingerprint or screen lock)

  Add a passkey in My account, then sign in with Face ID, your fingerprint or your device's screen lock instead of your email, password and code.

• Finding your way around FullColumn

  The menu and its badges, searching with Command-K, keyboard shortcuts, dark mode, the banners across the top, and how Settings saves your changes.

• Using FullColumn on phones and tablets

  Add FullColumn to your Home Screen, get alerts on your phone, find your way on a small screen, and move appointments on a touch screen with a long-press.
