Why barbers track income per client
Barbers are paid per cut, and 80% are self-employed according to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics. Logging each client gives you accurate daily totals, a clean tip record and the numbers to decide when to raise prices.

Frequently asked questions
Is Chairlog good for barbers?
Yes. Chairlog works for any per-client trade. Barbers use it to log cuts, tips and product sales quickly between clients and see daily and monthly totals. Many barbers are self-employed, so separate tip records also help at tax time.
Can I log walk-ins that aren’t in my calendar?
Yes. Tap Add client and type a name (or any label, like “Walk-in 3”). Calendar import is optional.
