ChairwardenThe salon suite software that protects your calendar
A 4-hour color block deserves better than getting cut in half by a walk-in haircut. Chairwarden keeps your long, high-value appointments intact, automatically, from the day you sign up.
Free forever up to 15 bookings/month · calendar protection included on every plan
Sound familiar?
“I’ll have a perfect multi-hour opening for a color appointment, but a random clipper cut will book right smack dab in the middle of that block.
“Platforms like this are passive. They just show open slots and let clients pick whatever, even if it creates that ‘Swiss cheese’ effect on your calendar.
Real quotes from stylists describing the problem, not Chairwarden testimonials.
One question at setup. Protection from day one.
During your 2-minute setup, tell Chairwarden how long a quick service takes and how long a long one takes. That’s it. Your calendar starts protecting itself.
- No “buffer time” settings menu to find
- Included free, not locked behind a paywall
- You can always override it yourself; it only guards online booking
Already paying for Vagaro, Square, or StyleSeat?

Questions
When you set up your services, you tell Chairwarden roughly how long a quick service takes versus a long one. From then on, short services simply can't book into the middle of a long, high-value block. Clients never see that slot as an option. No settings menu to dig through, no "buffer time" jargon to configure.
Yes. Free forever, up to 15 bookings a month. Calendar protection is included on the free plan too, not locked behind a paywall.
$19/month (or $15/month billed annually) for unlimited bookings. No percentage cut on your card payments, no per-booking fees, no surprise charges. One flat price.
Yes. The import wizard reads your export file (or a plain CSV) and shows you a preview of exactly what will come across before anything is imported.
