You know the one. The client you've had for six years. The formula that took three appointments to perfect. And then your stylist left, and took it with them.
Bookchair keeps every formula, every outcome, and every client note inside the business. Where it belongs.
Formulas. Sensitivities. Patch test dates. Previous colours. Desired outcomes. Photos. What worked. What did not. Who did it.
Most salons store all of it in notebooks, WhatsApp threads, and stylists' heads.
When the stylist leaves, the knowledge leaves with them. When the client comes back six months later, you are starting again. When a new team member takes the appointment, they are guessing.
Built because we needed it. Used every day inside Funky Doos.
Store formulas with photos, ratios, processing times, and outcomes. Every stylist in the team can see every client's history. Knowledge stays in the salon, not in someone's head.
Every visit. Every service. Every formula. Every photo. Every outcome — in a single timeline, per client. A full history that travels with the client, no matter who serves them next.
Automated patch test expiry alerts. The system flags clients whose test is out of date before they arrive. No more awkward conversations at the chair. No more compliance gaps.
Multi-stylist calendars with colour-coded services. Online booking that respects chair time, blowdry time, and processing time — not just appointment slots. Drag to reschedule. No double-booking.
More than a contact record. Allergies, preferences, notes, photos, patch test status, visit history, formulas, and consultation forms — all in one place. Visible from the booking calendar.
Confirmation, reminder, and follow-up messages sent automatically. Set them once. No reminder to remember to send them. Reduce no-shows without the manual admin.
Bookchair was built inside Funky Doos Hair Salon — a real family-owned salon. The people who built it also open the salon, serve clients, manage the team, and close up at the end of the day.
Every feature was tested in a live environment, with real clients, before it was ever offered to anyone else. Funky Doos still runs on Bookchair every day.
That is the difference between software built by salon people and software built about salons.
"We used to keep colour formulas in notebooks. When a stylist left, the formulas left too — and clients had to start over. Bookchair made that impossible. Every formula is in the system."
"The patch test alerts stopped us from having to make that call to a client who had already booked. Now the system handles it before they even arrive."
The system flags upcoming and expired tests before the client is seated.
Sent and signed before the appointment. Timestamped and stored in the client record.
Client data stored correctly from day one. Right-to-erasure built in. No separate data register required.
We walk you through what you need, not what we can sell you.
The UK Cosmetic Product Safety Regulations require patch tests for colour services. Most salons know this. Most salons also know that tracking them manually is where it falls down. Bookchair automates the entire process — test requested, test recorded, expiry flagged, appointment gated if expired. You do not have to remember, because the system does.
