Booking times in Austin

Austin changes its clocks for daylight saving, so a Men's cut at 18:00 stays at 18:00 local time all year. CalendarForm skips times that do not exist on the night the clocks go forward.

Austin is on a different time zone from New York, so set your business time zone to America/Chicago in CalendarForm settings.

Customers booking from abroad still see the time in America/Chicago, with the zone printed next to it, and their confirmation email repeats it.

Set the time zone to America/Chicago and add your opening hours.
Edit the questions above, add the the Texas Data Privacy and Security Act and state privacy laws (no single federal law) consent line, and attach the form to your booking page.
Share your link. Each booking sends an email confirmation with a cancel link, and a reminder 24 hours before.
