When you go to buy your toiletries, you can also book in for Botox, or lip enhancement, or facial contouring.
Could you tell me what 'book in for' means in the above sentence, please?
Is this phrase used very often in everyday English? Thanks.
In this context, the phrase "book in for" means "make an appointment for". The appointments to see an advisor might be written in a book such as a diary. Hence the verb "to book" which means to reserve an appointment or schedule a meeting.
And yes, this phrase is used quite a lot in everyday English.
"Are you booked in?" just means "Have you made an appointment?"
