ChairSpace is raising a friends and family round to fund the beta. The ask is intentionally low. Not because the opportunity is small — but because this round was designed so the people who actually believe in this don't get left out.
Book a conversation →Independent booth and suite rental stylists are the fastest-growing segment of the beauty industry. Post-pandemic, stylists left traditional salons in droves to work for themselves — and brought their clients with them. But the software never followed.
Every tool that exists was built for traditional salons, generic small businesses, or social media audiences. ChairSpace is the first platform purpose-built for this market: smart messaging, AI booking detection, true profit tracking, and genre-based client discovery.
Not repurposed. Not adapted. Built from scratch by someone who spent 16 years living the problem from both sides of the chair.
Post-pandemic independence surge created hundreds of thousands of new solo entrepreneurs overnight. They need infrastructure immediately. The window to be first is open right now.
Genre-based discovery, two-sided marketplace, AI trained on industry-specific data. Deep integration with stylist workflow makes ChairSpace sticky and hard to replicate. The network effects compound over time.
SaaS subscriptions at $20–$40/month per stylist. Clients use free — maximizing network effects. 94.5% projected gross margins. Recurring, predictable revenue.
Dallas beta → Texas expansion → regional → national. Break-even projected at 450–500 users. $150M+ valuation target by Year 4 with conservative growth assumptions.
Based on the 54-page technical specification and financial model. All figures are estimates, not guarantees. The methodology is transparent and available in the full pitch deck.

Five entry points. All structured as a SAFE or convertible note. Pick what makes sense for you right now.
If you have a skill that directly moves ChairSpace forward — cybersecurity, development, social media strategy — your contribution can be paired with a cash investment. The cash secures your equity at the standard Tier 1 rate. The skill is formalized as a separate consulting agreement: a defined scope, paid when revenue flows, at a fair rate.
This keeps the cap table clean while making sure the people who help build this actually get paid for it. Skills that are most valuable right now: security auditing, senior development, and growth/social strategy.
For someone ready to write a real check. This tier bridges the friends and family round to a pre-seed conversation. Terms, equity, and structure are discussed directly — there's no fixed rate because the right deal depends on who you are, what you bring, and what makes sense at this stage.
The friends and family round exists because Lana believes the people who know her deserve the chance to get in before the bigger money arrives. This tier is for people who want in at that level.
All investments structured as a SAFE (Simple Agreement for Future Equity) or convertible note · Split payments available on any tier · Questions? Lana prefers a real conversation over a form.
No frills. No overhead bloat. This is a lean, focused build with one goal: ship the two most important features first, prove the product, then scale.
16 years behind the chair. 7 years as a salon owner. Lana didn't come to this industry from the outside — she lived the problem at every level. As a stylist, she managed the communication chaos, the financial opacity, the administrative overload. As a salon owner, she built a team that grew to fourteen stylists and barbers, never falling below six once the culture took hold.
Add to that a background in workforce management and healthcare technology operations: the infrastructure thinking that turns a good idea into something that actually works at scale. She could see what the industry needed and she knew how to build it.
The 54-page specification document with a 21-table database architecture wasn't outsourced. She built it.
Lana prefers to talk through the investment in person — dinner, drinks, a real conversation. Drop your info and she'll reach out within 48 hours. No pressure. No hard sell.
