Invoicing software for salon & barbershop owners

Salon & barbershop invoicing software

You close out a chair and then separate the service, the retail and the tip by hand. Smarfle records them as three things at checkout, takes the product off stock and sends the receipt automatically, so Friday's numbers are a report rather than an evening.

Why generic invoicing software fails salon & barbershop owners

Generic invoicing tools weren’t built for salon & barbershop. Smarfle was.

What everyone else gives you

  • A document after every visit fills a regular's inbox
  • Tips end up inside the service total and have to be unpicked on payday
  • A client cannot see how far into a color package they are

Step-by-step

How salon & barbershop invoicing works in Smarfle

From the first touch to the closed loop. No missing pieces.

  1. 1

    Service closed at the chair

    The stylist marks the appointment done from their phone and adds any retail sold as a second line, so the ticket is complete before the client stands up.

  2. 2

    Charged from the card on file

    The stored card is charged from the document, or a link goes out by email for a client who would rather pay that way. Card and bank transfer both work and the receipt follows on its own.

  3. 3

    Gratuity recorded apart from revenue

    Whatever is added at payment, or handed over in cash and entered by whoever took it, sits outside the service total, so what the business earned and what the stylist earned stay two different figures.

  4. 4

    Retail deducted from the shelf

    Products carry a cost, a sell price and a stock level, so using one on a client reduces the count and feeds the cost side of that job. The count is company wide rather than per chair.

  5. 5

    Prepaid packages sold as signed quotes

    The client accepts and signs the quote in their portal and the money is taken at that moment. When the last visit is done the amount already paid is credited against the closing document, with both signatures printed on it.

  6. 6

    Chair by chair, week by week

    Pick a date range and the Technician P&L lists what each stylist finished, what it earned, what their hours cost at their own rate, what retail went out and what was left. Gratuities are reported apart from all of it. The commission percentage stays yours to apply, because Smarfle stops at the numbers.

Where salon & barbershop invoicing breaks down

The friction every salon & barbershop owner recognizes.

✕

The ticket is three things pretending to be one

A cut, a retail product and a gratuity all land in a single transaction at the chair. Separating them afterwards is somebody's Friday evening, and it is where the disagreements start.

✕

Retail stock is counted twice a year

Product sells off a shelf beside the chair with nobody deducting anything. What is actually there, and what it earned, gets discovered at inventory.

✕

A new stylist charges differently

Somebody starts on Monday and prices a service from what they were told rather than from a list. Two clients pay two amounts for the same forty minutes of work.

The math for salon & barbershop owners

Three things, one transaction

One payment at the chair covers three different things, and somebody unpicks them later. Capture them separately at checkout instead. The receipt sends itself, the product leaves stock, and the weekly numbers become a report rather than an evening's work.

Salon & barbershop invoicing software questions

Yes, as three things on the same ticket. Separating them afterwards from a pile of receipts is where most of the Friday evening goes, and where the disagreements with stylists usually start.
Treat them as stock with a cost and a price, and selling one reduces the count. Worth knowing that the count is held for the whole salon rather than per station.
Put every service and its price in one list the whole shop works from. A stylist starting on Monday then charges what the shop charges rather than what somebody told them in passing.
Yes, from a link on the document or against a card they left. On a busy Saturday the queue at the front is usually the worst part of an otherwise good visit.
Yes. Jobs carry the stylist who did them and time entries carry each person's rate, so revenue, hours, product and profit per person come out as a report. Smarfle does not calculate a commission split or run payroll.
Sell it as a signed quote with payment taken at acceptance, credited against what gets delivered. The remaining count is a field your desk maintains rather than a balance the system polices.
