Why per-chair-hour pricing matters

Two services with the same price can have very different chair-hour profitability if one takes twice as long.

Track every service’s chair-hour revenue and prune the laggards.

Prefer this running automatically, on every sale, with no manual entry?

Frequently asked questions

What is chair-hour cost?
Allocated rent + stylist hourly pay + utilities, per hour the chair is open.
Should I tip-include?
No. Tips are the stylist’s; price the service to cover business cost first.
Promotions for slow days?
Yes, Tuesday discounts can lift utilisation without poaching weekend.
Does Veira time services?
Yes. Veira logs every service start/finish, so chair-hour revenue is live.
Should I bundle?
Yes for high-frequency customers (e.g. wash + cut + treatment).

Doing this by hand every time? Veira runs the same calculation automatically on every sale, no spreadsheet required.
