Organization, salons, and your active location

Reviewed 2026-08-30

Language

In Orya, what people often call “the workspace” is simply your organization plus the salon you are working in right now. Keeping that split clear helps you avoid editing the wrong location’s hours, staff, or catalogs.

Organization versus Salon

The organization is the account boundary: billing, organization profile, and multi-location ownership live there. Each salon is an operational, bookable location with its own team, hours, and catalogs.

Think account + location

You always work in an organization context with one current salon selected. There is no separate “workspace” screen to manage beyond that.

What stays per location

Staff access, business hours, services you manage under Studio, and most booking behavior belong to the salon you are in. Switching the active location changes which place those screens read and write.

Before you edit

Confirm your active location in the account menu before changing hours, inviting staff, or publishing a booking page.

Active salon and favorite salon

Active salon is the location you are working in right now. Favorite salon is your preferred default when the app loads and you have access to more than one place.

Switch Active salon

  1. Open the account menu.
  2. Choose the Active salon card to open Your Salons.
  3. Select a row to switch the active location.
  4. Use the favorite control when you want a preferred default.

Switching locations

  1. Switch the active location from the account menu.
  2. Most day-to-day screens follow the new location right away.
  3. If you stay inside Settings on the same section, you keep working on that section for the new location.

Wrong-location edits

If hours or staff look unfamiliar, check the active location first. You may be editing a secondary location by mistake.

Organization profile

Update the organization display name under Settings in the Organization section—it is separate from each salon’s public name. Only owners and organization admins can change organization-level settings.

Save organization profile

  1. Open Settings → Organization.
  2. Update the organization profile.
  3. Choose Save organization.

Adding another location

  1. After the first salon exists, open Salons under Settings → Studio.
  2. Add the new location.
  3. Complete that salon’s own setup milestones, team, and hours.

Repeat setup where needed

A second location still needs services, professionals, and business hours before it books like the first.
