Billing, GST, commission, stock, no-shows and wedding season — written for owners and artists, not for accountants.
A correct bill takes ten seconds. A wrong one takes a month to fix. — What a salon bill must show, and how to stop the counter making mistakes.
Most salon software is built for chains. Most salons are not chains. — The short list of features a small parlour genuinely needs.
Work out what no-shows cost you. Then fix it. — A calculator for what no-shows cost, and five fixes that work.
Commission is not a cost. It is a message about what you want. — Three commission models, what each does to behaviour, and a calculator.
The back room is where salon money quietly disappears. — Four numbers to track, and how to count without stopping the salon.
You make your year in four months. Do not improvise them. — How to price, staff and book through the busiest four months of the year.
Nobody books an artist they have not seen work. — What actually brings bookings to a freelance artist, and what does not.
One link. Your work, your prices, your city. — A free, shareable page for your work — no website, no fee.
Freelance pays more per job. It does not always pay more per month. — The real cost of going freelance, with a calculator to test your own numbers.
Your register is not the problem. Losing it would be. — A safe order for moving years of records into software.
