For salons, barbershops & spas
Software that
pays attention

There's a lot of great salon software out there. Chairbud pays attention to your real workflow, surfaces what you need when you need it, and stays out of your way the rest of the time.
Context-aware scheduling
Your home screen changes based on what's happening right now — not a static calendar you have to interpret.
Client notes at the right moment
Color formulas, preferences, past notes — surfaced before your next client walks in, not buried in a search.
Your data, your business
Full data portability. Export your client list, appointments, and notes anytime. No questions, no friction.
Works for solo or team
Whether you're one chair or a full shop with booth renters and assistants — same software, same experience.
Payments built in
Checkout, tips, and POS — integrated and transparent. No surprise processing fees.
AI with clear boundaries
Smart scheduling suggestions and client insights — with published rules about what the AI can and can't do. No black boxes.
Built with real shops,
not focus groups
Chairbud is being built alongside working stylists, barbers, and estheticians in real shops.
Stylists
Color formulas, client history, and scheduling that understands your flow.
Barbers
Fast check-ins, tight scheduling, and client notes that keep up with your pace.
Estheticians
Treatment records, product tracking, and sensitive skin alerts front and center.
