For the pros who rent their own chair, booth, or suite

Booking and payments. No 30% take on the clients you brought in.

ChairSlay is booking and payments for independent beauty pros. Your money runs through your own Stripe or Square and lands straight in your account. We never hold it or take a cut of your work.

your work

Built for how you actually work.

Your book, your prices, your money, your rules. A tool that bends to your business — not the other way around.

  1. Per client

    Per-client rates, and nobody sees anybody else's.

    Maria books full price. Your regular books their rate, not a “discount,” just their number. Both book the right one; neither sees the other's. You set price and time per client, quietly, and it's included. No add-on tier. (Other booking software locks this behind a $150+/mo-per-location plan.)

  2. For colorists

    Double-book the processing window without the overrun.

    While a color processes (40 minutes in foils), you're free. ChairSlay stacks a cut into that window and protects both appointments: the color gets to the bowl on time, and the cut never runs over. Everyone else hides this behind their priciest tier. Here it's just how it works.

  3. No-shows

    A no-show costs them, not you.

    A deposit up front and a card on file on every booking. Set it per service or per client. Require it from a new booking, skip it for a regular. So when someone books a three-hour set and ghosts, your afternoon doesn't go with them.

  4. Zero take

    We never take a cut of your work.

    No 30% new-client fee, no cut of your sales — ever. Just your card's standard rate (~2.9% + 30¢), same as anywhere, straight to your own Stripe or Square. No payout holds; refunds in one click.

  5. Ownership

    Your book is yours. Your booking link is yours.

    Download the whole book whenever you want it: contacts, notes, color formulas, custom prices, appointments, payments, and photos, in one file we email you when it's ready. Your booking link lives on chairslay.com, and once you've paid for a year it's yours for good. Point it anywhere and it keeps forwarding, even after you leave.

per client

Maria gets a price. Jordan gets a different price. Neither sees the other's.

ChairSlay keeps a private price and time on every client — set per client, kept on their client record, never shown on your public booking page. Maria pays your list price for the same service Jordan books. Jordan, a regular for years, has their own rate for it. Both book at the right number, and neither one knows the other's exists.

Set a price once and it sticks: your standard rate, a held rate for a regular, or a one-off on a single booking. Same handful of settings whether you're holding a regular at their rate, taking a deposit from someone who's flaked before, or setting a first-visit rate for new clients.

Other booking software charges $150+/mo for the tier that unlocks per-client custom pricing. Here it's just included in ChairSlay Pro.

for colorists

Color's processing. You're free. Book the gap.

Every other scheduler treats one appointment as a single solid block. So the second your color goes into processing, your booking page reads "booked" even though you're wide open. ChairSlay knows the work has phases: busy while you foil, open while it processes, busy again at the bowl.

During that processing window, your booking page can hand the gap to another client: a 30-minute cut while the color develops, with no chance of either one running long. You decide which services can fill a gap and which can't. That's stacking, built in.

Most schedulers lock this behind their top tier, if they offer it at all. Colorists have been asking the big platforms for it.

no flakes

A no-show shouldn't cost you the afternoon.

A three-hour lash set, a full acrylic set, a balayage you blocked half the day for, a facial you prepped the room for — when a client books and ghosts, that's hours you can't get back. ChairSlay takes a deposit up front and keeps a card on file, so a no-show gets charged on a policy you set. It costs them, not you.

Set a deposit and policy on each service, then override it for any client: a bigger hold for the chronic canceller, none for the regular who never misses. Then rebook them before they leave, so the next visit is already on the books.

yours for good

Pay for a year and chairslay.com/your-handle is yours. Even if you leave.

Your booking link is short and it's on the main site: chairslay.com/your-handle, not some throwaway address that breaks the day you cancel.

And here's the deal: once you've paid for a year, 12 months in a row or one annual payment, that link is yours to keep. Cancel five years from now, point us at your new site, your Instagram, your business-card link, and chairslay.com/your-handle keeps sending clients there, for as long as we run chairslay.com.*

* This kicks in after 12 paid months in a row (a gap of more than 30 days starts the count over) or one annual payment. If you only trial ChairSlay, or leave before then, it doesn't apply: we hold your link for 90 days after your access ends, then another pro can claim it.

★ your link, your clients

Most booking tools trap your link the second you cancel. Your clients tap it, hit a dead page, and the ones you don't catch quietly drift off while you scramble to send out a new one.

That's how a book leaks without you noticing. We don't play that game. Keeping your link alive is how we keep your clients yours.

the plan

ChairSlay Pro.

$39/mo. Flat.

Or $390/yr, paid upfront: $32.50/mo. Save $78 per year vs. the monthly plan. Same plan, every feature, either way. Plus sales tax where it applies. Annual isn't refunded for unused time if you cancel.

First chair offer

$24/mo, for as long as you stay.

Set aside for the first 100 pros to subscribe. Pay $24 a month, or $288 per year. Pay the same on day one as you do five years in. Even if the price goes up, yours stays $24 as long as you stay subscribed. A lapse of up to 30 days doesn't cost you the rate; a longer one does.

Joining the waitlist doesn't hold a spot. The rate goes to the first 100 pros who choose a plan once sign-up opens.

Questions you'd actually ask.

Is ChairSlay really 0%? No fees at all?
Yes. Zero fee from us on every appointment. Payments run through your own Stripe or Square account, so the money lands straight in your bank, never ours. The only money out of a booking is the standard rate your card processor charges (about 2.9% + 30¢ when a client pays online, the same rate you'd pay them anywhere). We never take a cut of your work: not on new clients, not on tips, not ever, the way some booking apps do. Our subscription is the only thing you pay us: a flat price, monthly or annual, never a slice of what you earn.
Will my first-chair rate ever go up?
Not while you keep it. The first-chair rate is for the first 100 pros to subscribe: $24/mo, or $288/yr paid upfront (twelve months at $24). The rate stays yours for as long as you stay subscribed, even if the regular price goes up, and a lapse of up to 30 days doesn't cost you the rate. A longer gap does. Everyone after the first 100 pays the regular price: $39/mo, or $390/yr paid upfront ($32.50/mo). No hidden tiers, no per-booking fees that kick in once you're busy.
How does the free trial work?
You get 30 days of everything, with no card to start. Nothing is charged unless you choose a plan and agree to its price, and you can choose one during the trial without losing the free days you have left. One free trial per person. If the 30 days end without a plan, online booking pauses until you choose one, and you still have 30 days to download your book.
Can I cancel any time?
Yes, in the app, no call or form. Your plan ends at the end of the month or year you've paid for, and you keep full access until then. Change your mind before that date and you can undo the cancellation. We don't refund the unused part of a month or year. If a renewal payment fails, everything keeps working for 7 days while you update your card; after that, online booking pauses until it's paid.
Do my clients need to download an app or create an account to book?
No. Your client taps your link, sees your real-time availability, picks a service and a time, enters their card, and they're booked, all in their browser, all in under a minute. No app, no account, no password. They get a confirmation email and (optional) text reminders. When they come back to rebook, the same flow works just as fast.
What happens to my client list and history if I leave ChairSlay?
You can download your whole book whenever you're on a trial or a plan, free: names and contact info, your private notes and color formulas, custom prices, services, hours, appointment history, payment records, and photos. It comes as one ZIP of spreadsheets plus a calendar file any other scheduler can open. We put it together in the background and email you a link that works for 7 days. No upgrade, no support ticket. If you leave, you still have 30 days after your access ends to download it, or to pick up where you left off by choosing a plan. After those 30 days we delete your client records, all of it gone within 90 days of your access ending. Your clients are yours, full stop.
Do I keep my booking link if I leave?
Yes, once you've earned it. Your booking link (chairslay.com/your-handle) is yours for good after 12 paid months in a row or one annual payment: point it at your new site or IG and it keeps forwarding there for as long as we run chairslay.com. One honest catch: if you only trial ChairSlay or leave before that, we hold the link for 90 days after your access ends, then another pro can claim it.
Stripe or Square: does it matter which one I use?
Either works. Your clients pay right on your page either way, no jumping to another site. On your side, pick whichever account you already have; connecting your Stripe or Square takes about two minutes, and you can switch later anytime. The only real difference is each one's own fees, which they bill you directly, not us.
Is there an app for my phone?
Yes. ChairSlay runs on the web and has apps for iPhone, iPad, and Android, with the same plan and features everywhere. You can always choose or change your plan on the web. Choosing a plan inside the iPhone and iPad app works with a U.S. App Store account only, and choosing one inside the Android app may not be available yet. Managing a plan you already have works on every device.
I'm a booth renter, suite renter, or salon employee. Is ChairSlay for me?
ChairSlay is built for pros who rent their own chair, booth, or suite. You set your own prices, own your client list, and keep all the money you make. Booth renters and suite renters are exactly who we built this for. If you're a salon employee on a W-2, with your schedule and prices set by the owner, ChairSlay isn't the right fit yet. Your salon's system already handles bookings and pay. And if you're in between (apprentice going indie, planning to rent a chair soon), drop your email on the waitlist.

We'll email you once, the day sign-up opens. No spam, ever. Then it's a 30-day free trial, no card to start.
