Grow the people behind every chair.
Chairward gives your team a clear path to the next level, one focus for the week, a closing list everyone can check off, training that moves people forward, and one place to talk. All in one app your whole salon opens every day.
A 30-minute walkthrough with the founder.
How it works
2
Invite your team and set your levels.
3
Your team opens Chairward every day.
"What do I need to do to move up?" Stylists ask, and the answer lives in someone's head.
Half the team hears it late. Updates scatter across group texts and personal phones.
The close depends on who's on. Some nights it's spotless. Some nights it isn't.
Every week starts from scratch. Everyone has a different idea of what matters.
Training happens in the gaps. Lessons get squeezed between guests, if they happen at all.
Promotions
The next level, in plain sight.
Nothing keeps a great stylist like knowing exactly where they're headed. You set the levels, and each person opens My Chair to see where they stand today, what the next level is, and the goals that get them there. No guessing, no awkward conversations about "when."
- Current level and the next one, right at the top of My Chair.
- Daily, weekly and monthly numbers shown next to the goal.
- Name your own levels.
Closing Care
Closing, handled.
Set the closing list once and give every task an owner. Each night the team opens Tonight, sees exactly what's theirs and checks it off. Owners and managers see how close the salon is to done. No clipboards, no paper, no "I thought you did it."
- Tonight's list with an owner for each task and a live count of what's done.
- A weekly plan from Monday to Sunday, so rotating schedules are easy.
- Staff see only their own tasks. Leaders see every assigned task.
Weekly Focus
One focus. The whole team.
Pick what matters this week, whether that's rebooking, retail or a new service, and everyone sees the same focus when they sign in. Your morning huddle is already written.
- One shared focus, visible to the whole team after sign-in.
- Shows how far your team is booked ahead.
- Want a copy for the break room? Print one.
Training
Training that moves people up.
Every stylist can see their next lesson. Training stops being something extra — it becomes how people grow.
- Your next lesson is open and ready.
- Grow, also in the app, offers lessons and practice. It follows the same access as Training.
Messages
Keep the floor talking, off personal phones.
Team announcements, floor chat and direct messages all live inside Chairward. Work stays at work, new hires are in the loop from day one, and nobody has to share a personal number.
- A team channel and floor chat for the whole salon.
- Direct messages between teammates.
- Front desk opens straight to Messages.
Built for every role
Owners set the path, the week's focus and tonight's close, then see the whole salon at a glance.
Managers run the floor and coach from the team's numbers.
Staff open My Chair to see their goals, their next level and their next lesson, all from their phone.
Open it on any device.
Chairward works in your phone's browser, so staff just sign in and go.
Up and running, your way.
Invite your team from inside Chairward. They tap their link, set a password and sign in. You set your levels, and the founder walks you through it all.
Your salon's data stays yours.
- Your data stays private. Each salon's information is kept separate. Nothing carries over from another location.
- The right people see the right things. Owners, managers, staff and front desk each see only what their role allows. Staff see their own sales numbers.
- Sign-in protection. Active accounts can add a code from an authenticator app, and you can sign out of every device anytime.
- Encrypted connection. Chairward runs on Cloudflare over HTTPS.
- We don't sell your personal information.

Works alongside your booking software.
Chairward is built to sit beside the booking and POS systems salons already run. It handles the part no booking tool touches: your people. Our Booker integration is in progress. Building a salon platform? Let's talk: hello@chairward.com

Our story
Built by salon owners, for salon owners.
We run Lucas Salon. Derek runs operations, and Kim works behind the chair. For years the floor lived in our heads: who was ready for a promotion, who needed a thank-you, and who needed a nudge. We built Chairward for our own salon first, so we'd stop guessing.
