Wrong service
The “trim” that’s really a color correction.
Clients pick from a menu of service names they don’t use. You find out what they meant when they sit down.
They say it in their own words, and AI checks the fit.
Booking + client CRM for beauty pros
Every booking,
booked right.
CHAIR is the booking page and client book built for stylists, barbers, and beauty pros. Clients describe what they want in their own words, AI checks it’s the right service, and you confirm — so the right appointment, at the right length, lands in your chair.

Why CHAIR exists
The problem CHAIR solves
“Color gets booked under the wrong name all the time — and the wrong name means the wrong amount of time in the chair.”
The idea behind every CHAIR booking
Wrong length
A balayage squeezed into a 45-minute slot.
Processing time gets forgotten, and the rest of the afternoon pays for it.
Every slot covers the full service, processing and all.
Wrong surprise
No photos, no context, no plan.
What they have now and what they want show up in a DM — if they show up at all.
Photos and details arrive with the request, before the day.
How it works
Four steps. Zero guesswork.
This is the booking page your clients see. Go ahead — tap Español on the phone.

Why this step exists. Color gets booked under the wrong name all the time, and the wrong name means the wrong time in the chair. A sentence about what you want lets Nia book it right.
In your own words
Required for color. The more detail, the less chance of a surprise.
Photos — your hair now, and what you want

Before we book
Everything you need to sign is already on file and current.
About paymentNothing is charged here. You pay in the salon as usual. The cancellation policy is what applies if you cancel late or don’t arrive.
Send the request
Request sent
Nia will confirm it. Keep an eye on your email.
- 01 / In their words
They say it in their own words.
No guessing at service names. Clients describe what they want and add photos — their hair now, and the look they’re after.
- 02 / AI service check
AI checks it’s the right service.
One tap and CHAIR checks their words against the service they picked. If something’s missing, it says so — before the request ever reaches you.
- 03 / Real time
They pick a time that actually fits.
Every open slot already accounts for the full service, processing time included. The price range is right there, too.
- 04 / Your call
You confirm. That’s it.
Forms are on file, your policy is shown, and nothing is charged. The request lands with you to confirm, on your terms.
Features
Everything your chair needs. Nothing it doesn’t.
AI service check
Clients describe what they want in their own words. CHAIR checks it matches the service they picked — and flags what’s missing — before it reaches your book.
Processing time, built in
Durations include processing, so a balayage never gets squeezed into a trim slot. Clients even get a heads-up to bring something to read.
Photos with every request
Their hair now and the look they want, attached to the request. No more digging through DMs the night before.
Request-to-book
Nothing lands on your calendar until you confirm it. Clients get their confirmation by email, with text reminders once you switch texting on.
English + Español
Clients switch languages with one tap on every screen, so more of your clients can book without a back-and-forth.
Forms on file
Intake and consent forms are checked before the booking goes through — not at the chair while the clock runs.
Nothing charged at booking
No card needed to book. Clients pay in the salon as usual, and your cancellation policy is shown before they send the request.
Price ranges up front
Clients see an honest range — like $235–$295 — before they book, so checkout isn’t a surprise for anyone.
Your client book
Names, numbers, notes, and color formulas kept together — so the right formula is on hand every visit.
Who it’s for
Made for the people behind the chair.
Solo in a suite or a few chairs deep — CHAIR fits the way independent beauty pros already work.
- Stylists & coloristsColor, cuts, and everything that needs processing time.
- BarbersFades, beards, and regulars who want their usual.
- Nail techsSets, fills, and art that takes the time it takes.
- Lash & brow artistsFull sets, fills, lifts, and tints.
- EstheticiansFacials and treatments where the intake form matters.
Why CHAIR
Built for accuracy, not just volume.
Most booking tools are great at filling slots. CHAIR makes sure every slot holds the right service, for the right amount of time.
| Topic | The usual way | With CHAIR |
|---|---|---|
| Choosing a service | Guess from a list of service names | Say it in their own words — AI checks the fit |
| Time blocked | One-size slots | The full service, processing included |
| Photos & details | In a DM, if at all | Attached to the request, before the day |
| Language | Whatever the app speaks | English or Español, one tap |
| Paying to book | Card up front | Nothing charged — pay in the salon |
| Your control | Bookings just appear | You confirm every request |
How does the AI service check work?
Clients describe what they want in their own words and can add photos of their hair now and the look they want. With one tap, CHAIR checks that description against the service they picked and flags anything that doesn’t line up — like a missing photo — before the request reaches you. You still confirm every booking.
Do my clients pay when they book?
No. Nothing is charged when a client books. They pay in the salon as usual, and your cancellation policy is shown before they send the request.
Can my clients book in Spanish?
Yes. Every screen has an English / Español switch, so clients can book in the language they’re most comfortable with.
Do I have to accept every booking?
Every booking arrives as a request, and you confirm it — so nothing lands on your calendar that you haven’t seen.
Who is CHAIR for?
