How the line works
Walk-ins and booked clients share four chairs. This is how we keep it fair.
- 01
Sign the board
Write your name on the board by the door, in the order you arrive.
- 02
Watch for your name
The board shows who is next and which chair is open. Waits vary, and the board is the only clock.
- 03
Booked clients go at their time
If you booked, you are seen at your time and the line waits. Come a few minutes early.
- 04
The line closes early
We stop adding names 30 minutes before closing, so everyone on the board gets a chair.
