About this app

WHAT IS ONLINE CHECK-IN?
Online Check-In saves you time by seeing estimated wait times for hair salons near you. From there, just pick your favorite salon, and get on the waitlist from wherever you are.

FEATURES:
-Check estimated wait times based on current conditions in the salon and updates in real time.
-Online Check-In: You save time by checking in to the salon ahead of time - saving your place in line.
-ReadyNextĀ®: Get text alerts to notify you when your estimated wait time reaches 15 minutes as your cue to head to the salon.
-Save your favorite hair salon so it’s even quicker next time you check in!

HOW TO USE:
-Tap the Search icon
-Pick a hair salon near you
-Tap the Check In button
-Enter your name and phone number
-Tap Check In again to be added to the wait list – no login, email, or profile required.
-Let the salon know when you arrive.

After you check in, you can watch your estimated wait time countdown and arrive at the salon when it's nearly your turn to get your service.

ESTIMATED WAIT TIME
Estimated wait times assume you are getting the next available stylist. You can request a stylist upon arrival at the salon but your wait may be longer. For safety and privacy reasons, we do not publish stylist schedules.

WHEN IS ONLINE CHECK-IN AVAILABLE?
Customers can check in online during the hours the salon is open. Online Check-In will not be available during the first five minutes a salon is scheduled to be open. This gives customers who are physically in the salon when it opens a chance to be checked in and have their names added to the waitlist. We accept online check-in up until 30 minutes before closing time. You can still get a haircut at closing time, you just can't check in on the app.

CAN I USE ONLINE CHECK-IN FOR MORE THAN A HAIRCUT?
Yes, you can use Online Check-In for all services except perms and formal updos. Please note that not all salons offer perms. And, most salons require an appointment for these services, so please call the salon to inquire.

WHAT DO I DO IF I DON’T HAVE A MOBILE DEVICE?
You can check in from any device that has internet (a smartphone, tablet, computer, etc.). Go to greatclips.com, click on Find a Salon or Check In. Enter your postal code or address and you'll be using Online Check-In in no time! If you don't have an Internet connection, you can always walk right in to any salon and add your name to the list.

WHEN SHOULD I ARRIVE AT THE SALON?
After you've checked in online, you will see what place you are in on the waitlist. You'll want to arrive to the salon before you are next in line. If you'd like to receive a text message when your estimated wait time reaches 15 minutes, you can sign up for ReadyNextĀ® text alerts. Once you arrive at the salon, let the stylists know you're there, and they will confirm your information and finish your check in.

WHAT HAPPENS IF I ARRIVE LATE?
We understand: Things happen! Don't worry if you lose your keys, spill something, or get stuck in traffic. We'll keep your name on the list for a short period of time.

HOW DO I CANCEL MY CHECK IN?
Once you are checked in, the salon will appear on the home screen. Cancel at any time by tapping Cancel check-in.
See wait times and check into a hair salon ahead of time with Online Check-In.

Meh, I see nothing so far that justifies a redesign. If anything, it's less intuitive than the older app. I had two salons listed as favorites that I no longer visit. But I had to stumble upon the method for removing them from my favorites. (The Help option had no info about how to do that.) I tried pressing the star, long-pressing the entry, going to account settings, etc. Then I (accidentally) slid the favorite to the left and it deleted. A visual clue indicating that would've been nice.

I checked in with 21 minutes after 15 minutes drive there checked in it went to 47 minutes. The app is not as accurate as it used to be. This feature is why I started going here and I just purchased almost 2 years of prepaid haircuts. This is the 2nd time a delay like this happened. I would have chosen another location near my other shopping. Not happy!!!!! Oh and not all places take the prepaid cards and you don't know until after. They said it because 1 person left.

For more than a year it was a good app, allowing me to check in from home and be on the top of the line when arrived. However, for about the last two months, the time prediction mechanism is clearly broken, several family members got issues. I checked in from home when it was 52 min to wait and spent 40 min to get there. On arrival it was 53 min waiting. With that precision, the app makes little sense.
