Frequently asked questions
What is the best booking software for an esthetician?
For estheticians, aestheticians, facialists and skin therapists, the priorities are clear treatment menus, client history, consultation slots and deposits on longer treatments. CHAIR combines those tools with flat monthly pricing and no per-booking commission.
Can I attach an intake form to a facial booking?
Not currently. Keep your required consent and skin-history process in a suitable external system, and use CHAIR for scheduling, client history and private professional notes.
How do I handle consultation-required treatments like peels or microneedling?
Set up the consultation as its own service. After the consult you approve the client for the main treatment and send them the booking link. Useful for chemical peels, microneedling, and any advanced facial protocol that needs eyes on the skin first.
Can I take deposits on premium facial appointments?
Yes. Set deposit rules per service. A £25 deposit on a signature facial, no deposit on a quick wax. Deposits credit against the appointment total when the client arrives.
Does CHAIR work for facialists and beauticians, not just estheticians?
Yes. The terminology varies, but the core workflow is the same: bookable services, consultations, client history, deposits and retention. CHAIR supports that workflow for estheticians, aestheticians, facialists, beauticians and skin therapists.
How is CHAIR different from Treatwell or Fresha for skin treatments?
Treatwell and Fresha combine booking software with marketplace acquisition fees for qualifying brand-new clients. CHAIR is professional-owned software: your branded booking page, your client list, a flat monthly fee and 0% commission on every booking.
