For salons & barbers

Every chair busy. Every call answered.

Saturday is when the phone rings most and your team has the least time for it. Dayrun answers, runs the queue and covers the roster, so stylists stay on the floor.

A busy salon on a Saturday morning, stylists at every chair
Before and after

The same day, handled.

Without Dayrun

  • The phone rings out while every stylist is mid cut
  • Walk-ins leave when the wait looks long
  • A sick call leaves a chair empty all day
  • A complaint turns into a review before anyone hears it

With Dayrun

  • Every call is answered in your salon's name
  • Clients get their real wait and a spot held for them
  • Open shifts go straight to casuals who can cover
  • Complaints reach the owner first, with the whole story
The day

A Saturday with Dayrun

  1. The salon owner reading her phone before opening
    7:48 am

    A stylist calls in sick

    Max sees the gap on the roster and offers the shift to the casuals who can cover it. The chair is filled before the doors open.

  2. A stylist mid cut while a phone lights up on the counter
    10:15 am

    Every chair is busy and the phone rings

    Sophie answers in your salon's name, tells the caller the live wait and holds their place in the queue. Nobody puts the scissors down.

  3. A client outside the salon reading a text about his wait
    1:30 pm

    The wait gets long

    Ava checks clients in, texts them when they are nearly up and offers a nearby salon with a spot free now. Fewer people walk away.

  4. The owner locking the salon door at the end of the day
    6:05 pm

    The doors close, the work carries on

    Leo asks today's happy clients for a review and fills next week's quiet hours with regulars who are due. Tess has already answered the team's questions on staff WhatsApp.

How Dayrun helps

Three jobs, done every time.

Answers every call

After twenty seconds, after hours and at peak. Callers hear your salon, not a voicemail.

Runs the walk-in queue

Live waits, check-ins and ready pings. A spot is held, never double booked.

Keeps the roster covered

Sick shifts are offered to the right casuals the moment they open up.

The maths

What missed calls cost a salon.

A typical US salon, worked out in the open. Cited figures link to their source, and every assumption says so.

$352,800Yearly revenue of an average US beauty salon1
50%Booked over the phone(assumption)
30%Calls that go unanswered(assumption)
21%Callers who immediately call another business2
Lost every year$11,100
Won back when Dayrun answers every call$8,800Assumes 8 in 10 of those callers book once someone answers (assumption)

An estimate, not a promise. Salon revenue is the Census 2024 total for US beauty salons divided by the 77,881 salons the Bureau of Labor Statistics counted that year, so it covers salons with employees. The 21% is what consumers told CallRail they do, not measured behaviour. The phone share, the unanswered rate and the 80% are assumptions.
