Chair

Booking for barbershops.

Your clients book in a minute. You see it between cuts.

A booking page with your prices, your barbers and your hours. Clients come from your Instagram, tap a time, put down a deposit if you ask for one, and they're in. The shop sees every chair's day on one screen. That's the product.

For the client

Three taps and a name.

  1. 1
    Tap a service
    Your menu, your prices, how long each one takes.
  2. 2
    Pick a barber and a time
    Or “Anyone” — the first chair free at that time.
  3. 3
    Name, email, phone. Done.
    No account, no app, no “download to continue”. If you ask for a deposit, they pay it right there. A confirmation with a cancel link, and a reminder the day before.

For the shop

One screen for the barber.

Today, on your phone
Every barber’s day on one screen. Between cuts, glance and go.
Walk-ins in two taps
Somebody at the door? Put them in the next open slot and keep cutting.
Hours, time off, who does beards
Each barber’s week, split shifts, days off, and which services they take.
Never double-booked
The database itself refuses an overlapping booking — not a check two phones can both pass.
Deposits, straight to your bank
Nothing, a fixed amount or a share of the cut, charged when they book, on your own merchant account. Refunded when they cancel in time. Kept when they don’t show.
Everyone hears about it
The barber gets an email and a push for a new booking or a cancel. The client gets their confirmation and reminder.
Clients, remembered
Every visit and a note on each regular — the fade they like, the kid who hates the clippers.
On your own domain
The booking page can live at yourshop.com, with your logo and your colour.

What Chair isn't.

  • a point of sale
  • a marketplace
  • a CRM with forty tabs
  • a loyalty programme

Other booking apps do all of that and feel like it. Chair does the one job and gets out of the way.

Honest about today.

  • Online booking, cancel links, reminders by email and push.
  • Deposits on your own merchant account, refunded or kept by your rules.
  • Today view, walk-ins, clients, hours and time off.
  • A contact form that lands in your inbox, and your own domain.

Not yet: card on file, text-message reminders, a week view. When they ship, they'll be here.
