Welcome to Chairtime

Chairtime is the dashboard for running a salon, studio, or spa — from one chair in your spare room up to a multi-branch business. You manage clients, bookings, practitioners, stations, services, and payments in one place. Clients book online. Your team runs their day from the platform on phone or tablet. The till closes itself.

Who Chairtime is built for

Hair salons, nail studios, beauty salons, and day spas — from solo operators through to multi-branch groups.
South African operators — PayFast subscription billing, SA mobile numbers, rand-priced, hosted in-region.
Owners who want to spend less time on WhatsApp confirmations and more time on the people in the chair.

Chairtime scales with you. Enterprise customers get multi-location dashboards, custom integrations, and dedicated onboarding — get in touch at hello@chairtime.co.za if that’s you.
