OpenChair and Boulevard, compared carefully.
Based on Boulevard's public pricing, Boulevard AI, and integration pages reviewed on 19 June 2026, Boulevard is a polished self-care platform for salons, spas, medspas, barbers, massage, nail salons, multi-location teams, franchises, and enterprises. OpenChair is focused on capped AU/NZ/GB pricing, direct branded booking, and operator-reviewed salon workflows.
Our Take
Boulevard is a mature self-care platform with Precision Scheduling, client profiles, forms and charting, messages, marketing, payments, APIs, integrations, Boulevard AI, and medspa-oriented add-ons. As reviewed on 19 June 2026, Boulevard's public Salon & Spa pricing listed Essentials at $140/month/location during limited-time summer pricing, normally $176; Premier at $234, normally $293; and Prestige at $328, normally $410. Boulevard also listed Enterprise custom pricing and add-ons such as Forms from $65/month/location, QuickBooks at $45/month/location, and ePrescribe at $45 per prescriber. OpenChair's point of difference is more specific: published capped AU/NZ/GB pricing, direct branded booking, and operator-reviewed salon workflows across replies, gaps, follow-ups, Style Match, and day-to-day team actions.

Making the Switch from Boulevard
Switching software feels daunting — but it doesn't have to be. Here's exactly how the transition works.
Review your Boulevard setup
Review your Boulevard plan, billing term, add-ons, message usage, forms, payments, and any implementation commitments before planning a switch. Time the move around renewal or billing changes so you avoid paying for two systems longer than needed.
Export your data
Request a full data export from Boulevard including clients, appointment history, and service menu.
Import and configure
Send available exports to support@openchairpro.com. We'll import available data into OpenChair and help review your team, services, commission tracking, and Processing Gaps setup before go-live.
Move booking links when ready
Run both systems in parallel during the transition if needed. Update your website, social, and Google booking links once the OpenChair setup has been reviewed and your team is ready.
