A personal welcome at the chair
The name comes from the calendar, the chair is assigned once, and that is it. Your client is greeted by name on the tablet without anyone typing anything.
Solution: consultation at the chair
Advice you can see
The tablet at the chair translates the consultation into something visible: hair analysis from a photo, the goal as a preview, the history from the consultation form. Technology that does not replace the conversation but gives it an anchor.
The problem
Advice varies with the day
Good advice in a salon depends too often on the person and on the day. It is spoken, not shown. Recommendations sound like selling, because the basis that would turn them into an observation is missing. And a client's history lives in the head of the one stylist who happens to be off today.
The tablet at the chair, the second pillar of Saloncare, makes advice visible and consistent. Your client sees her hair in the analysis, sees the goal in the preview and understands the recommendation because she can follow it. Advice becomes a calm observation rather than an assertion.
Features
What the tablet at the chair delivers
Digital drinks menu
Drinks visible on a menu at the chair, rather than only offered in passing. What is visible gets ordered more often; a new, quiet revenue channel.
Photo hair analysis
One photo is enough for Sam to read structure, scalp and damage. The recommendation rests on a factual basis rather than a feeling.
Style preview
Your client's selfie becomes an AI preview of the goal. Cut and colour become tangible before the scissors touch anything.
Before and after
The app captures before and after as photos and hands them to your client by QR code. If she likes them, she shares them to Instagram with one tap.
Digital consultation form
Allergies, previous treatments and sensitivities are recorded once and are there again next time. The stylist knows the history before the first word.
Live transcription
Sam listens when asked to and captures your client's wishes as a note. Hands stay on the work, the conversation stays complete.
Satisfaction at the end
One short question, one to five stars, a signal before your client leaves. You hear about it while you can still do something.

Sam
Ask Sam about the history
“Sam, which formula did Ms Berger have in March, and how did it hold up?”
Sam pulls the colour formula with its development time and note from the history, shows the last before and after and proposes the adjustment for today. Every consultation starts where the last one ended, and your client feels remembered, even by the seventh stylist.
How it fits together
One layer above your salon
The tablet at the chair does not stand alone. The consultation form and the formulas live in the client history that Saloncare Pro uses as well. The care plan lands in your client's app, the first pillar. The product recommendation connects to your stock and, where you want it, to the product subscription.
Today Saloncare lays itself over your till and your calendar, an intelligent layer above your salon, and turns good advice into advice every guest can feel and the salon remembers.
Questions
Frequently asked questions.
Does the tablet not disturb the personal atmosphere at the chair?
The device sits at the chair, not between stylist and client. It shows the analysis and the result, then steps back. In practice it opens the conversation, because your client finally sees what is being discussed rather than only hearing about it.
How reliable is the photo hair analysis?
Sam reads indications of structure, scalp and damage from a photo and thereby provides a factual basis for the conversation. It does not replace the stylist's judgement, it grounds it. The recommendation remains a professional decision made by a person.
What happens to your client's photos and health data?
The consultation form, photos and notes are assigned to the client and used only in the context of her treatment. Processing takes place on Cloudflare infrastructure; the details are governed by our privacy policy. Saloncare treats health-related information with the care it requires.
Does a client have to fill in the digital consultation form every time?
No. The form is recorded once and is there again at the next visit. Your client only confirms or updates what has changed, and the stylist knows the history before starting.
Does the before and after preview work for cut and colour?
Yes. Your client's selfie becomes an AI preview for cut and colour. It makes the goal tangible and helps to settle expectations before the work begins.
Does Sam listen all the time?
Only when you start it. Live transcription runs on request and captures your client's wishes as a note. It can be stopped at any moment, and your client is told about the recording.
Do I need a tablet for every chair?
One device per chair makes sense, so the consultation happens where the work happens. You can start small, though, perhaps with one device for colour work, and expand step by step.
Does visible advice really improve revenue, or only the mood?
The two are connected. When your client sees what is being discussed, she understands the recommendation and is more likely to follow it. The figures quoted are illustrative examples; your real numbers on add-on recommendations and return visits sit in the cockpit.
