Example (fictional data)

A barbershop in Galway has three chairs and takes bookings by phone and Instagram messages. On a Saturday the owner answered calls between cuts and still had two no-shows. Now clients book from the link in the Instagram profile, each barber sees his own day, and every client gets a reminder the evening before.

How it works

In a small salon or barbershop the phone rings while you are cutting hair. Every missed call can be a lost booking, and every booking taken by message has to be copied into a paper diary or a shared calendar by hand.

No-shows cost the most: a 45-minute slot left empty on a busy day cannot be sold again. Answers to common questions are in the questions section, and you can start at the bottom of the page.

Chair Diary does one narrow job: it takes bookings for your salon online and keeps the calendar of each chair.

You list your services with their length and price, and the stylists or barbers who do them. The booking page shows only the times that are really open for that service and that person.

A client who wants a cut and a colour books both in one go, and the calendar keeps the whole time for the same stylist, so you do not have to ring back and move other clients around to fit a longer visit in.

Clients book from a link you put in your Instagram or Facebook profile, in your Google listing or in a text message. They can book at night or on Sunday, when nobody answers the phone.

Each stylist sees their own day on the phone: who is coming, for what, and any note about the client.

The day before the visit the client gets a reminder with the time and a link to change or cancel the booking, so an open slot comes back to the calendar early enough to fill it.

Walk-ins and phone bookings are added to the same calendar in a few taps, so the online page never offers a time that is already taken.

For every client the history of visits stays in one place: the service, the stylist, the colour formula or any note you want to keep.

It is meant for small places with one to six chairs — hair salons, barbershops, beauty and nail salons — where the owner works in the chair too.

Opening hours, breaks and days off are set once for the salon and for each person, and holidays are blocked in the calendar so nobody can book them.

You can see at a glance how full each day is and which hours stay empty, and decide when to put out a last-minute offer.

To start, you only need the list of your services, their length and the working hours of each person.

Chair Diary takes bookings and sends reminders; payments in the salon stay as they are now.
