The vision of 3ack is to become a one-stop shop of digital solutions for hairdressing salons and barbershops. Consequently, 3ack seeks to provide the following functionalities to hairdressing salons and barbershops.

Digital queuing

With 3ack, you get a digital queuing system that's easy to set up and simple for both you and your walk-in customers to use.

Here's how it works: First, you add your salon's location to the system and activate it. Then, you print out a QR code and put it up at your salon.

When your customers arrive, they just need to scan the QR code using their phone and enter their name and mobile number. They can choose to wait at the salon or leave and get an SMS notification about 5 minutes before it's their turn.

If they're in a hurry, they can even offer to swap places with someone else in the queue anonymously.

You can manage the queue for multiple salon locations all in one place. By selecting the salon and date, you can see who's waiting and control the queue. With just a click, the next customer in line will get a notification on their phone.

Customers can also leave you notes or feedback while they're in the queue, and you can see their comments and ratings in real-time. It's a convenient way to organize your salon and keep your customers happy!
