For barbershops

Keep the chairs moving and the line full.

Barbershops live on turnover. RunChair keeps the waitlist working, books walk-ins and regulars without you stopping mid-cut, and makes sure a quiet half-hour gets filled instead of sat through. Fast, simple, and out of your way.

How it works

Built for turnover.

  1. 1

    Never stop mid-cut

    Iris answers calls and messages while your hands are busy — booking the next client in without you putting the clippers down.

  2. 2

    Work the waitlist

    When a chair opens up, the next waiting client is offered the slot automatically, so the line keeps moving and the chair never sits cold.

  3. 3

    Make regulars effortless

    Your regulars' usual cut and preferred barber are remembered, so rebooking the same again is a single tap — or a quick word with Iris.

What it does for you

Fewer cold chairs, less time on the phone.

Gaps refill themselves

A cancellation or a quiet patch is offered to the next waitlisted client straight away, turning dead time into another cut.

Booking that keeps pace

Fast self-service booking and AI phone handling match the speed a busy barbershop runs at — no clunky forms, no hold music.

Regulars on autopilot

Usual cut, usual barber, remembered. Rebooking is instant, and overdue regulars get a friendly nudge to come back in.

Questions, answered

For barbershops, specifically.

Do you handle walk-ins as well as bookings?

Yes. You can run a live waitlist alongside booked appointments, and RunChair offers freed-up slots to waiting clients automatically.

Can clients book a specific barber?

Yes. Each barber has their own availability, services and specialties, so clients can book their usual or whoever's free.
