What it is

Everything your salon needs, in one app.

Chairside is a complete salon-management platform: appointments, clients, staff, services, invoicing, and your own public booking page — without the chaos of stitching five different tools together.

Designed from the chair-side outward, it brings the calm of a well-run salon into software that's a pleasure to use.

Features

Built around your day, not around a database.

Six tools, all sharing one calendar, one client book, and one beautiful design. No plugins, no add-ons, no surprise upgrades.

Smart appointments

A weekly calendar that handles overlaps, mobile day-view, drag-friendly editing, and a status flow from pending all the way to invoiced — in one panel.

Public booking page

Your own URL at chairside.co.za/book.aspx?s=your-slug. Clients pick a service, a slot, and a stylist — magic-link verified, no signup wall.

Invoices & payments

Generate a branded PDF invoice from any completed appointment. Mark as paid, email or WhatsApp it — multi-currency, with your salon's details on every line.

Clients & loyalty

Every visit, every spend, every preference — in one client card. Loyalty stars, notes, full appointment history, and one-click rebooking.

Email & WhatsApp notifications

Every booking, confirmation, and invoice goes out on the channel your client prefers — with an .ics calendar attachment and a Google Calendar fallback.

Expenses & insight

Track every cost — products, rent, utilities, marketing — against revenue. See where the money goes, by category and by month, at a glance.

Why Chairside

The salon software you'd actually choose.

Not bloated. Not corporate. Not pretending to also be a CRM and a POS. Just a beautiful, focused tool for running a salon well.

Designed for the chair, not the boardroom

Cream, charcoal, gold. Cormorant headings. Touches that make the app a pleasure to open. Your salon's tools should feel like your salon.

Clients book themselves

Your own public booking link, your own slug. Clients choose service, time, and stylist — you approve or auto-confirm. Saves hours of back-and-forth every week.

Multi-tenant, multi-stylist, multi-currency

Run one salon or five. Each tenant gets its own staff, services, clients, and booking page. Currencies built in — ZAR, USD, EUR, GBP, NGN, KES, and more.

No tab-juggling

Calendar, clients, invoices, expenses, services, staff — all under one roof, one design, one login. No Zapier required.

WhatsApp & email, your call

Confirmations go where your client actually reads them. Email with calendar invites, or WhatsApp templates — with a per-salon kill switch if you need it.

From Africa to the world

Born on the continent, built for everywhere. Multi-currency pricing, smart phone-number handling for every region, ready to scale from a single chair to a chain across five continents.

How it works

Three steps. Then you're booking.

Sign up, pick your slug, send the link to your clients. That's it.

Create your salon

One signup form — salon name, owner email, a password. Chairside builds out your tenant with a starter service catalog in seconds.

Set up your team & menu

Add stylists, services, opening hours, and closures. Pick your slug for the public booking page — it becomes your link to share everywhere.

Open for bookings

Clients book from your public page. You confirm or auto-approve. Invoices, reminders, and follow-ups happen on their own.

Chairside took our Saturday spreadsheet panic and turned it into a calm dashboard the whole team actually looks forward to opening.
