best salon POS system

How do I choose the best salon POS system?

Check that online booking, checkout, member wallet, stylist commission and reporting all live in one system. Then confirm data is shared across locations, that staff can run it on iPhone or iPad, and that onboarding support exists. eHairPOS keeps all five in a single account.

beauty POS vs retail POS

How is a beauty POS different from a retail POS?

Salons price by person, time slot and service, so checkout needs the assigned stylist, service duration, add-ons and assistant splits, then feeds commission and sales figures. Retail POS only handles products and quantities, so booking and commission logic must be bolted on separately.

nail lash beauty booking software

Can nail, lash and beauty studios use the same booking software?

Yes. Any studio that books by service duration, limits chairs or beds, and needs double-booking protection fits. eHairPOS schedules online bookings by staff member and service length, so it works for nail, lash, facial and brow services, not just hair.

stylist commission calculator

How is stylist commission calculated automatically?

Set the rules once — service vs product, requested vs walk-in, assistant splits — and every checkout writes commission to that stylist. Month-end reports come out of the system instead of a spreadsheet, and discount or point costs are attributed the way you configured them.

salon software pricing

How much does salon POS software cost per month?

eHairPOS is a subscription; the charge follows your local App Store conversion, and every plan and currency is listed on the pricing page. When comparing, include onboarding, training and data migration rather than the monthly figure alone.

salon membership prepaid balance

How do prepaid balances, points and vouchers work?

The member wallet keeps stored value, bonus credit, points and vouchers on one customer record, applies them at checkout and logs every deduction. You decide up front which side absorbs the cost so sales reporting and accounting stay consistent.
