Hit 50 client hours this month and had to double check my schedule

I hit 50 hours of facials and peels this month, which is double what I was doing in a slow month last year, has anyone else been blindsided by how fast their books fill up once you get a couple regulars?

I had a client last month who booked four back to back sessions for her whole wedding party and I nearly had a heart attack when I saw my schedule sheet. My hands were cramping up by day three because I was doing so many peels back to back. I actually had to turn down a few new clients because I physically couldn't fit them in between my regulars. Its wild how one or two loyal people can just domino into this crazy busy month out of nowhere. I still have no idea how to manage it without burning myself out honestly.

You're COMPLAINING about TOO MUCH business? That's a problem most people would KILL to have. Instead of turning down new clients, why not just raise your prices until the demand matches your capacity? If you're doing four back to back wedding parties, clearly you're undercharging. Double your rates for group bookings and suddenly you'll have plenty of breathing room AND make more money. The cramping hands thing is real though, that's on you for not scheduling breaks. Block off an hour between each session for your own sanity and charge a premium for the convenience. You're treating your time like it's worthless when clearly it's not.
