The problem

A full shop shouldn't cost you customers.

When nobody knows how long the wait is, people hover by the door — or walk out. That's money leaving. NextChair gives every customer their real place in line and a text when it's their turn, so they wait wherever they want and always come back.

What you get

Three screens, one simple system.

tablet

In-store kiosk

Walk-ins tap their name, punch in their number, and pick their pro — or take whoever's open next. Simple enough for anyone. Joining is in-store only, so nobody skips the line from home.

dashboard

Owner & staff dashboard

See the whole floor live — who's waiting, who's next per chair, today's bookings. Mark a cut done, message a client, edit a price and it updates in-store instantly.

sms

Customer texts

Confirmations, "you're next in the chair," and reminders — sent automatically. Your personal number stays private. Fully registered and compliant.

How it works

Up and running in an afternoon.

Customer joins at your counter

They scan your QR or tap the shop iPad, enter their number, and pick their pro. They're in the line — and free to wait anywhere.

You run the queue

Your live dashboard shows who's next at each chair. Tap "notify" when a chair opens.

They get the text and come back

"You're up — head over." One tap to confirm. No crowded counter, no lost walk-ins.

Make it yours

Your shop. Your brand. Your clients.

Every screen your customers see is branded to you — not to us.

Questions

Good to know.

Do my customers need an app? expand_more

No. They join from their own phone's browser — a scan or a tap. Nothing to download.

Do you take a cut of my sales? expand_more

Never. It's one flat monthly bill based on how many chairs you run. What you charge is yours.

Can people skip the line from home? expand_more

No. Joining the walk-in line is in-store only — whoever's in your shop keeps priority. From home they can only check how busy you are and if their pro's in.

Is the texting really handled? expand_more

Yes. NextChair sends confirmations, "you're next," and reminders on a fully registered, carrier-compliant number. Your personal cell stays private.

Do I have to add all my staff? expand_more

Start with one chair on the free trial. Add staff — each with their own login and PIN — whenever you're ready.

One flat monthly bill. We handle the texting. See our Terms & Privacy. A BuiltStack™ product.
