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.

Built AI-native — Iris runs the chair, not just the calendar.
Built for turnover.
- 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
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
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.
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.
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.
