When is calling better than booking online?
Calling is usually better when you have urgent needs, special questions, or a more complex service situation.
When is booking online the smarter move?
Booking online is usually better when the profile already answers your main questions and you are ready to reserve a time quickly.
Should I always call before booking?
Not always. If the profile is strong and the booking path is clear, booking online may be the faster option.
