What you get

Built for how a shop actually runs.

Every feature is included on every plan. No add-ons, no upgrade tiers.

Online booking

Clients book themselves, around the clock

Each shop gets its own booking page. Put the link in your Instagram bio, texts and Google profile, or print the QR code for the front desk.

  • Clients pick the service, the pro and a time that’s really open
  • No double bookings, even if two people tap the same slot at once
  • Clients don’t download anything or make an account
  • Your shop is listed on Next Chair Explore, where clients find pros near them
Calendar

Your day at a glance, between clients

A clear day view built for a phone in one hand. See who’s next, who’s paid and where the open time is.

  • Tap an open gap to book a walk-in or a phone call on the spot
  • Block lunch, breaks and days off
  • Paid, no-charge, booked-online and no-show tags at a glance
  • See your own day, or the whole team side by side
Your team

One shop, every chair

Invite your pros by email. Each one gets their own login, schedule, hours and services, and clients can choose who they book with.

  • Pros see their own day. Owners and managers see everyone
  • Book for any pro from the front desk
  • Front desk and managers who don’t take clients are free
  • Booth renters and solo pros work just as well on their own
Checkout

Get paid your way, tips included

Check a client out in a few taps when the service is done. Take cards through your own Square account, or record cash, Venmo, Cash App, Zelle and more.

  • Change the price for a friend, a promo or a fix-up, with a note why
  • “No charge” for comps, so they don’t count as lost sales
  • Money goes straight to you. Next Chair never takes a cut
Numbers

Know what’s working, and be ready at tax time

Stats for any week, month or year, for the shop or one pro.

  • Most booked services, top clients and who no-shows the most
  • Sales, tips, discounts and no-charge visits, by pro and by day
  • A year-end report by month and payment method, ready to download for your accountant
Calendar sync

Keep the system you have while you switch

Already on Resurva, Vagaro or a personal calendar? Link it, and those appointments block time on your Next Chair booking page automatically. Move over at your own pace.

  • Works with Google Calendar, iPhone (iCloud) and Outlook
  • Next Chair bookings can go to your Google Calendar too
Everything else

The little things add up.

Client cards

Formulas, guard numbers, allergies and notes, with every past visit. Repeat clients match back by phone number.

No-show tracking

Mark no-shows in one tap and see who does it most, so you know who to ask for a deposit next time.

Your look

Pick a color style for your app and booking page that matches your shop.

Works like an app

Add it to your Home Screen on iPhone or Android. It opens full screen, with nothing to download from an app store.

Services and hours

Set prices and lengths for each service, working hours for each pro, and days off.

Help built in

Something not right? Send a message with a screenshot from inside the app and get a reply right there.

Questions

Good to know.

Is it only for barbershops?

No. Next Chair works for any business that books appointments by the service: hair salons, barbershops, nail, lash and brow studios, skin care studios, massage therapists and day spas, makeup artists, and solo cosmetologists or booth renters.

Do my clients need to download an app?

No. Clients book from a normal web page on any phone or computer. They don’t make an account either. They just enter their name and phone number.

Do I have to stop using Resurva or Vagaro?

No. Sync your current system to Google, iPhone or Outlook calendar, link that calendar and Next Chair blocks out those times, so you can run both side by side and switch over when you’re ready.

What happens when my free trial ends?

You’ll get a reminder in the app a week before. Add a card to keep going. If you don’t, online booking pauses, but your calendar, clients and history stay safe, and everything comes back as soon as you add a card.

Is there a contract or setup fee?

No. It’s month to month with no setup fee. Cancel any time from the Billing screen.

How do I take card payments?

Connect your own Square account and take cards through the Square app at checkout. The money goes straight to your Square account. You can also record cash, Venmo, Cash App, Zelle and other payments.

Does it work on iPhone and Android?

Yes, and on computers and tablets too. On a phone, add it to your Home Screen and it opens like any other app.

How long does setup take?

Most shops are taking bookings the same day. Create your shop, set your services, prices and hours, invite your team, then share your link.
