ChairCal

For solo hair stylists

Your chair,
never empty.

The second a client cancels, ChairCal texts your top regulars one at a time — with a real 60-second hold. First to tap takes it. Most fills happen before you finish the rinse on the chair you're at.

First 100 stylists. 14 days free. No card to start. Then $29/mo.

The two things nobody else does

Two capabilities Vagaro, StyleSeat, and Square can't copy.

Fill

Your 2 o'clock cancels. A regular takes it.

The second a slot opens, ChairCal texts your top regulars one at a time, in priority order, with a real 60-second hold on each. Most fills happen before you finish the rinse on the chair you're at.

Process Time

Sarah's color processes. Maya gets a cut.

Tell ChairCal which 30 minutes of a color are hands-free. The booking page opens that window for a compatible second client. Same chair, hands free, another $60 on the books in time you were already at the salon for.

Plus everything else a solo stylist needs

The rest of the kit, done well.

Rebook

Every visit ends with the next one set.

After every appointment, ChairCal suggests a real slot at her usual time — one tap from her confirmation page or your dashboard.

Or skip the blast entirely

Sometimes the next client is already on your books.

When a cancellation opens earlier than another client's existing appointment, ChairCal can offer THAT client the swap privately — one text, one tap, 24-hour reply window, no race.

She keeps her cadence. You keep the chair full. Nobody hears "sorry, just took it."

How Fill works

From "she cancelled" to "she's booked," in under a minute.

  1. 01

    Sarah cancels her 2 o'clock.

    She texts you, or taps the cancel link in her confirmation. The slot opens.

  2. 02

    Your top regulars get the text.

    One at a time, in priority order — each with a private link. Your VIPs see it first.

  3. 03

    First to tap takes the slot.

    60-second hold. Confirm name and phone. The chair is hers.

  4. 04

    You keep the day.

    A quiet ping tells you it filled. The dashboard counts the money saved. You go back to the rinse.

Founders rate · 100 seats

The first 100 lock $19/mo for life.

After that, $29. Same product. One filled cancellation covers the month.

We're new, so there's no 10,000-stylist case study — just a tool built because empty chairs were taking food off too many tables.
