ESTIMATED WAIT TIME

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.

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 ReadyNext® 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.

Works great when it works, not so much when it drops you from the checked-in queue and you arrive to a new 45+ minute wait. Absolutely infuriating. If there is a timer that drops you from the queue, that needs to be transparent. Add something that shows how long until you're dropped (unless it's actually random). Timing your trip so you arrive based on the original time estimate, only to find it dropped you is worse than not having the system at all.

We apologize for any frustration caused by the estimated wait time. The estimated wait time is based on the current conditions in the salon. As customers check in and are served, and as the team members change shifts, your estimated wait time adjusts accordingly.

App kicks you out of line if you don't arrive within 10 minutes of signing up. Then you wait in line like a walk-in. Literally no point in using this app! Edit and reply to Developer: Yes but the app didn't behave like this in the past. Before I'd remain on the list and keep my spot. many times I only get 10 minutes of notice, and that's how long it takes me to drive to my Sport Clips.

The salon may remove your name from the waitlist if you arrive after your estimated check-in time. We encourage you to watch your estimated wait time and head to the salon so you arrive before your estimated haircut time.

Previously I was very happy with this app, and used it frequently. However, several months ago it started saying that online check in was not available. I mentioned this multiple times when going onsite for my haircuts. I tried uninstalling and reloading the app. But the problem persists. I will probably switch to another company -- not because of poor service in-store, but because of poorly functioning technology that is forcing me to gamble with my schedule due to no online check in.
