— Thesis
Beauty pros generate $100B+ annually in the U.S., but they’re the only major category of independent business still paying marketplace commissions north of 25%. A decade of Stripe, Twilio, Supabase, and AI has made it possible to ship the entire backend of a “marketplace” as a flat-rate subscription tool that individual pros can run themselves.
The switching cost has collapsed. The lock-in is gone. And beauty pros are generationally online-native — Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube are already their front door. What they’re missing is the back office: availability, payments, reminders, records, growth.
ProChair ships that back office as a flat-rate product, not a rake. We win on economics for pros, trust for clients, and data advantage as the pool grows.
