Salon owners and independent beauty professionals manage a lot beyond appointments: client preferences, confirmations, cancellations, and business performance all need attention.
Chairly brings these everyday workflows into one dashboard. The home view highlights the day’s schedule, booking statuses, revenue overview, client notes, and reminders that may need follow-up. The analytics view expands that picture with booking activity, returning clients, popular services, and salon performance over time.
A soft lavender palette, refined typography, and clear card-based layouts make the platform feel organized and approachable.
Such a tidy sidebar.
Crenaly: a booking SaaS I designed and built end-to-end for appointment-based businesses in France: salons, barbers, beauty and wellness.
The core idea: when a client cancels, the freed slot is automatically offered to clients who asked for an earlier time. The first to accept gets it, their appointment moves in place, and the slot they leave is offered next. No double booking, no manual work.
Around it, a full product:
→ Branded booking page for each business, embeddable on their own site
→ Mobile-first booking flow, no account needed
→ Agenda, client management, team roles & permissions
→ Verified reviews, analytics, Stripe billing

Automatically offering a cancelled slot to the next client is such a practical feature for salons and barbers. Designing and building Crenaly end to end must have made those flows much tighter.
