Walk-ins without the crowded front desk.

Clients check in from their phone, relax wherever they like, and get a text when their stylist is ready. Your front desk gets its calm back.

What walk-ins are like today

The stuff that eats a shift, before anything changes.

  • A packed front desk

    Check-ins, questions and payments all land on one person at the busiest moments.

  • Guessing the wait

    Color, cuts and blowouts take different times, and walk-ins want a number.

  • Clients who drift off

    Someone steps out for coffee and misses their turn.
