Salons, barbers, and spas in Alberta
The phone is answered. The chair gets filled.
Forward your business number. An AI assistant answers as your shop, any time, day or night, while forwarding is on. It answers questions, books the appointment, and leaves you a summary of the call. Several calls are handled at once. Texts are a booking confirmation, one reply if they text the line, or one note if a call does not connect. Each one says to reply STOP to opt out.
We set up your front desk for you in 24 to 36 hours. Keep Square, Fresha or Vagaro.
Current offer: the setup fee is waived, and Small Shop and Core are 25% off for 6 months. If we miss the same mark, your second month is refunded. The offer ends December 31, 2026.
Fill Guarantee: if we haven't filled 12 visits in your first 60 days (6 on Small Shop), your setup fee is refunded.

The phone
The phone
Callers reach your shop. You stay with the client.
Forward your business number. An AI assistant answers as your shop, any time, day or night, while forwarding is on. Texts are a booking confirmation, one reply if they text the line, or one note if a call does not connect. Each one says to reply STOP to opt out.
Your number
Callers still dial the number on your window and your listing. You forward that business number to ChairOps.
Your shop's voice
An AI assistant answers as your shop. It answers questions and books the appointment. It says it is an AI assistant, not a person.
Your summary
You get a summary of the call. Several calls are handled at once, so one conversation does not block the next.
If a caller is in crisis, the assistant tells them to call 911, or to call or text 988. That is Canada's Suicide Crisis Helpline.
Sound familiar?
Busy shops lose hours without anyone doing anything wrong.
A 2pm cancel sits empty
Everyone is with a client, so nobody has a free hand to call the waitlist. The hour just goes.
Clients mean to rebook
They love the cut and plan to book the next one. Life gets busy, and six weeks turns into ten.
You know Tuesday is slow
You can feel it, but it is hard to say what those quiet hours cost you each week.
How it works
From your booking app to a filled chair.
Connect your booking app
You keep the booking app you already use. Square is the calendar we follow today.
ChairOps watches the desk
Bookings and blocks from your Square calendar show here. Empty chairs, cancels, and the waitlist stay in one place.
Chairs get filled, and follow-ups go out
Leftover chairs go on your booking page. A cancel reaches the waitlist. Follow-up stays on the desk so the next visit gets asked for.

The floor scores fill, no-shows, and rebook from this sample. One move for the week: fill Tuesday, take a hold, or book the next colour before they stand up.

Hair, nails, barber, spa, and beauty studios in Alberta.
The move changes with the cycle.
Hair salons
Six-week colour cycle. Protect Saturday. Empty colour blocks cost more than an empty cut.
Nail salons
Two to three week fills. A CAD hold on full sets. Tuesday is usually the leak.
Barbershops
Walk-ins still come. Regulars should already have a next visit every four weeks.
Spas and beauty studios
Room hours, not just people. Packages beat discounts. Hold the peak rooms.
Lash and brow studios
High-ticket beds. A ghosted fill costs more than a missed cut. Rebook in two to three weeks.
