Salons & barbers

How can a salon owner keep simple books?

Short answerSnap each beauty-supply receipt on WhatsApp and send one voice note at closing, for example “six clients today, $540, Mrs. Davis owes $85”. Bukuzi saves the expense, the income and the balance owed, and your dashboard shows sales, costs, profit and costs by category such as rent, color and supplies.

Where salon money gets lost

Color, developer, gloves and foils are bought in small amounts all month. Card and cash takings are mixed, and regular clients sometimes pay later. Without a record, it is hard to know whether the month was actually profitable.

Rent, utilities and laundry can be sent the same way, so costs by category are always up to date.

What it costs

Plans are paid monthly in US dollars: Starter $5 (receipts, voice notes, sales and expenses, weekly and monthly summary), Business $12 (adds invoices, quotes, who owes you, bills with reminders and Excel export) and VAT Pro $19 (adds VAT summaries and accounting-software exports). Every plan starts with 2 weeks free, and accountants use their dashboard for free.

Try it free for 2 weeks. Just say hi on WhatsApp.
