Managing Tips in Your Salon the Right Way

We all love a tip.

Tips over the years have been great to bump up your salary, I remember this very well, our late-nights and Saturdays were always our busiest days, and some clients would leave as much as £5 just for shampooing their hair.

Once I became a stylist this was soon the norm, and even a £10 tip was left at times for longer services. This extra cash came in so handy for the car park, lunches and weekend nights out.

As the years have gone by we have gradually become a cashless society, which has had a big impact on the tips being received. If you are anything like me I rarely have cash on me these days.

Tips on Card – Leaving tips on card comes with many challenges;

• How to handle tips with HMRC
• Calculating tips accurately per team member
• When to give tips to the team
• How to give tips to the team

A tip management solution really was needed for hair and beauty salons, so we got to work. Tell Me More…

Do you know how much your team are actually receiving in tips each week?

If it’s cash it’s probably been a guessing game for you or a very lengthy admin process trying to work out the tips total per team member by looking at hundreds of bill receipts for ‘change’ when left by card.

What if you could have a tips management process in place for your salon enabling your team to receive tips from clients by card without the lengthy calculation process?

Salons are using SalonIQ’s Tip management system right now and are loving it “It has saved me so much time, I now just run a report for the date range I want to get the total tips left per team member.” Sean Hanna Salons
