Welcome to Chairtime

Chairtime is the dashboard for running a salon — from one chair in your spare room up to a multi-branch hair, beauty, or wellness business. You manage clients, bookings, stylists, stations, services, and payments in one place. Clients book online. Stylists run their day from their phones. The till closes itself.

Who Chairtime is built for

Solo stylists working out of a single chair at home — through to multi-branch salons with dozens of stations and a full front-desk team.
South African operators — PayFast, SA mobile numbers, ZA VAT, all native.
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-branch dashboards, custom integrations, API access, and a dedicated success manager — get in touch at hello@chairtime.co.za if that’s you.
