Everything your day needs.
Books included.

Other stylist apps book your clients and stop there; the money ends up in Venmo, a notebook and a shoebox of receipts. ChairBooks runs the whole day, and the books fill in from it.

Clients book themselves

Your own booking page. They pick the service and the time, and it lands on your schedule. No back and forth.

Reminders and no-show fees

Reminders go out by text and clients confirm with one reply. Set a deposit or a card on file, and no-shows pay for the chair.

Client cards, color notes and your to-do list

Formula, history, what she said last time, on every client's card before she sits down. Your to-do list sits next to the schedule.

Books done at the chair

Check out in the app and the service, tip and product post to your books. Your bank feed arrives sorted, and the Schedule C worksheet fills in all year.

How a day works

Three steps, and the books are the last one. You never open them to type.

    Income, expenses and profit add themselves up, and the Schedule C worksheet fills in as you go.

Why ChairBooks exists

Danny Poledna asked his own stylist how she handled her taxes and kept track of her business. Nothing she used could tell her.

So he built the thing that could: the appointment you already book is the bookkeeping entry, and the tax numbers add up while you work.

Questions, answered

Do you take a cut of my bookings?

No. No booking fee, no commission, no add-ons. $14.99 a month is the whole price; Stripe's card fee is the only fee on a payment.

Square Appointments is free. Why pay $14.99?

Square books appointments and takes cards. It has no no-show fees or waitlist without the $49 plan, and no books. ChairBooks is built for a stylist's day, and the books come with it.

Do I have to be good with numbers?

No. Completed appointments log themselves and the reports add themselves up.

Do I need special hardware for card payments?

No. Enter the card in the app at checkout. Money goes straight to your own bank account.

Is there an iPhone app?

Yes. ChairBooks is on the App Store for iPhone and iPad. Sign up here first, then sign in on the app.

What if I cancel?

No contracts. 30 days free, cancel anytime, data stays exportable.
