What the columns are for
A color takes longer than a cut, so the service boxes tell the front desk what the next two hours look like. A walk-in who ticks "Color" may need a different answer than "about twenty minutes".
The stylist column keeps requests visible. When a regular asks for the stylist with two people ahead, you can offer the first available instead before they wait.
When the clipboard stops working
Paper works while the lobby is small. It stops when people look at a full room and leave without signing, when customers wait for one person, or when someone asks "how long?" and nobody knows. A sheet records arrivals. It can't show a wait, and it can't tell anyone it's their turn.
NextUp is the same list on a phone. Customers scan a code at the door, see their place and wait, and get a text when they're up. A TV in the lobby shows who's next. It's $29 a month per location with a 14-day free trial. More in Replace your paper sign-in sheet and Google Forms vs a real waitlist.
Common questions
Why is there no phone number column?
A sign-in sheet sits on the counter where every customer can read it. A column of names and phone numbers is a list anyone can photograph. If you want to text people when it is their turn, take the number somewhere private, such as a phone check-in page that only the shop can see.
Should walk-ins and appointments share one sheet?
Keep appointments in your book and use the sheet only for walk-ins. Mark the time an appointment is due on the sheet if it will hold a chair, so the next walk-in gets an honest wait.
