Chairside
Start
For salons and barbers

The consultation before the chair.

Customers try a look on their own face, and Chairside works out every service it takes to get there from their hair today. Then they book all of it. One line of code on your booking page.

The problem

Try-on shows where you want to end up. Nobody tells you how to get there.

A customer shows a photo of straight hair. Their hair is curly. That's rebonding, maybe extensions, maybe two visits, and a price they hear for the first time in the chair. Half the consultation is spent on facts a camera could have read. Chairside does that part before they arrive, and it says so when a look isn't possible or a treatment won't help.

What it solves

Better for the person in the chair. Better for the people behind it.

For the customer

  • See it on your own face first

    Not a model's face on Instagram. Yours, with your hair, before anyone picks up scissors.

  • The real price, before the chair

    Every service it takes, the total and the hours, laid out at home. No surprise at the till.

  • An honest answer

    When a look isn't possible from your hair, it says so. When a treatment won't help, it says that too.

  • Decide without pressure

    Add or skip each recommendation with the reason in front of you, in your own time.

For the salon

  • Know who's walking in

    Photos, hair type, frizz, length and the agreed plan arrive before the appointment.

  • Prepare ahead

    The right products, colour and chemicals ready, and the slot booked for how long the work really takes.

  • The right stylist on the day

    A curl specialist for a perm, a colourist for balayage. Rota the person best suited to the look.

  • Bigger tickets, earned

    Add-ons come with a reason and a skip button, so customers add what they need and trust the bill.

  • Fewer redos and unhappy customers

    Expectations are set before the cut, with a preview the customer already agreed to.

How it works

Four minutes on the phone. A plan you can book.

  1. Four photos

    Straight on, both sides, chin down. A guide frames each one the way the AI needs it.

  3. Pick a look, get the route

    Every look shows what it takes from your hair: perm, rebonding, colour, months of growth, or 'not possible'.

What's measured, what's a rule

Every reading is labelled. Measured by YouCam means an AI model produced it from your photos. Salon rule means it's a rule of thumb we wrote, like "colour goes on two weeks after a perm" or "hair grows about 1.25 cm a month". A salon can edit its rules and prices.

What we won't claim: a photo can't see your crown, your history of colour, or diagnose hair loss. When the density reading is low, Chairside points you to a dermatologist instead of selling you a scalp treatment.

For salons

One line on your booking page.

A "Try your look" button opens the consultation over your site. Customers arrive with a plan they already agreed to, and your stylist gets the photos and readings ahead of time.
