Get started today

Open Chair AI · Included on every plan

Turn empty chairs into revenue.

Your next appointment could be a client who already knows you. Open Chair AI finds clients due for a haircut and sends a push invitation to book with your chair or your whole shop.

Know who’s due

Uses completed-visit frequency, with a 28-day starting point for clients with one visit. Skips clients who already have an upcoming appointment.

Respect every client

Only their most recently visited shop can invite them. Shared protection across shops and barbers limits Open Chair notifications to once every seven days.

Pay when they return

Haircut earns 5% of the discounted service price only when the client follows the invitation, books before it expires in seven days, and completes a paid service. Tips are excluded; refunds earn fee credits.

Available on web, iOS, and Android with subscription billing set up. Open Chair fees are billed to the shop’s subscription. Ordinary bookings remain commission-free.
