For hair salons

Built for the way hair salons actually work.

Colour appointments run long, formulas matter, and a no-show in a two-hour slot stings. RunChair keeps every client's formula and history on hand, schedules around your real chair time, and works to keep those long slots full — so you can focus on the work, not the diary.

  • Colour formulas saved per client
  • Scheduling that respects long appointments
  • Deposits to protect big-ticket slots
  • Rebooking and win-back built in

How it works

From consult to rebook, remembered.

  1. 1

    Keep the formula

    Every client's colour formula, reference photos and notes live in one profile — so a covering stylist or your future self never has to guess.

  2. 2

    Protect the long slots

    Two-hour colour appointments are too valuable to lose. Deposits and timely reminders keep them booked, and the waitlist refills them fast if they fall through.

  3. 3

    Bring them back

    RunChair notices when a regular is overdue for their next colour and drafts a personal nudge — so your book stays full without a marketing push.

What it does for you

Less admin between every client.

Formulas that follow the client

No more shoebox of colour cards. Whoever's in the chair greets the client with the full history — consistent results, every visit.

Long slots, protected

Deposits make the cost of a no-show clear up front — designed to dramatically reduce the empty two-hour gaps that hurt most.

A front desk that never sleeps

Iris answers and books while you're mid-colour or closed, so a missed call doesn't become a booking for the salon down the road.

Questions, answered

For hair salons, specifically.

Can I store colour formulas per client?

Yes. Formulas, reference photos, preferences and visit notes live in one profile per client, shared across your team and recalled instantly — including by Iris when a client calls.

Does it handle long, multi-stage colour appointments?

Yes. You define service durations and your real chair availability, so long appointments are scheduled cleanly without double-booking.

Can I take deposits on big colour services?

Yes. You choose which services require a deposit and how much; RunChair collects it securely via Stripe as part of the booking.
