A salon sells services and products. A simple POS tracks each stylist's work, product sales and bookings in one place.
Key takeaways
- Fair pay for stylists
- Know your income
- A smoother day
- Clients remembered
01What owners tell you
Salon owners juggle stylists, clients, products and cash. Without records, income and commission are guesses.
- Commission is calculated from memory.
- Product sales mix with service money and nobody knows which paid.
- Walk-ins and bookings clash and clients wait.
- Regular clients' history is in the stylist's head.
- Closing cash never matches what was expected.
02The words that sell
Owners do not buy equipment. They buy the day they want to have. These are the outcomes to talk about when you pitch a POS to salon.
03Say it like this
Short, plain lines work best. Use them as they are or put them in your own words.
- “Your stylists' commission will be worked out by the system, not by argument.”
- “You will see whether services or products made your money.”
- “Your clients will not wait, because a pager tells them when it is their turn.”
- “You will know your regulars by name and by what they like.”
04Your 30-second pitch

06Answers to the usual objections
| The owner says | You answer |
|---|---|
| My salon is too small. | A small salon feels money leaks most. |
| My stylists do not like being tracked. | They like fair commission and clear records. |
| Clients pay by M-Pesa. | Record it alongside cash in the same report. |
| I do not want to type. | Tap the service and the price appears. |
