Thoughtfully built, designed specifically with hairdressers and barbers in mind, the newly launched ChairPro offers a more intentional approach to booking.
What Happens Between Appointments
A client finishes their service. You send an invoice by text as they’re checking the mirror. Payment is completed from their phone before they even leave the chair.
At the end of the week, you want to boost bookings for an upcoming slow period. Instead of scrolling through hundreds of client records, you pull a list of top spenders, frequent visitors, and clients who haven’t booked recently, then send each group a tailored text message in minutes.
The next day, a client cancels an appointment. Rather than manually reaching out and hoping to fill the opening, the appointment is automatically offered by text to clients on your waitlist. Before you’ve had time to think about the lost revenue, the schedule is full again.
The modern professional is no longer just managing appointments. They’re building a brand, cultivating client relationships, and creating a business designed to grow. The most successful professionals are leveraging technology that works quietly in the background while they focus on delivering exceptional service.
That’s the philosophy behind ChairPro Studio. Beyond online booking, the platform combines waitlist automation, integrated payments, client segmentation, targeted marketing tools, and a beautiful online presence for your brand—all included in a single platform designed to help professionals grow their income and deepen client relationships.
ChairPro arrives at a moment when many beauty professionals are beginning to expect more from the tools they use every day. Across the industry, there’s a noticeable shift away from generic booking systems toward platforms that better reflect the identity, professionalism, and operational needs of modern salons and barbershops.
“Throughout the years I have listened to the frustrations with booking software for barbers and salons: hidden and surprise fees, clunky interfaces, unclear payment systems. And I thought… I want to do better for the professional,” said founder Robert Lawson.
