The day
Hours, the TV and the poster
-
Opening hours
Monday to Saturday, 12 noon to 9 pm; Sunday closed.
Close for conventions and guest-artist weeks. Clients booked on a closed day are listed so you can cancel or keep each one, or move a long session with Reschedule on the Waitlist.
-
TV display
The token being called and the room or station to go to.
Above the sofa in the lobby, where clients wait while looking at the flash designs.
-
QR poster
On the front door and at the counter, so walk-ins take a place before they reach the artist.
Tips
-
Keep long sessions off the walk-in line.
A sleeve takes four hours. On its own booking line it cannot hold up a ten-minute piercing.
How it works → -
Let the artist decide the next step.
After a design talk the artist taps the option, so the client is sent to the right line without joining a new one at the counter.
How it works → -
Say how long, honestly.
Put the real minutes on each size. A client booking a medium piece sees how long to set aside, and presses I am here when they arrive, or the owner checks them in; a session nobody checks in is not called.
How it works → -
Take a break between clients.
Pause an artist station with a reason and a return time, so the next client is not called to a chair that is being cleaned.
