POS systems
One counter, one system: checkout, tips, gift cards
We ask how your salon checks out and splits tips, then suggest the machine and software that fit, set it up and show your front desk how to use it.

FAQ
POS systems for nail salons: FAQ
How is a nail salon POS different from a plain card reader?
A plain reader only takes payments. A salon POS also records the service, who did it, each technician’s tips, gift cards and client numbers, so closing out tips and checking sales takes minutes.
How are card processing fees charged?
Every processor does it differently: a percentage of each sale, a fixed fee per transaction, monthly fees, sometimes equipment rental. We explain each line and compare the total cost against your sales before you decide.
Is taking cards on a POS secure?
Card hardware and software should meet the payment card industry’s PCI DSS security standard. We only recommend systems that do, and walk you through safe habits such as never writing down card numbers.
I am still in a card processing contract. Can I switch?
Many contracts carry an early termination fee. Send us the end date and the cancellation terms and we will work out whether switching now or waiting costs less.
Can the POS work with online booking?
It depends on the system. If you want bookings and checkout in one place, tell us early and we will pick a POS with booking built in, or one that connects to your website.
Does it work for restaurants?
Yes. Restaurants get a restaurant POS: orders by table, tickets printed in the kitchen, split checks and server tips. We ask how you serve before we pick one.
