Common problems we solve
Sound familiar?
Service and retail income mixed together
Your hair services and your retail product sales need to be tracked separately, mixing them together makes your books unreliable and your CPA frustrated.
Booth rental income not recorded correctly
If you rent chairs to independent stylists that income needs to be recorded correctly and those stylists may need 1099s at year end.
Books months behind
Between clients, appointments, and running the shop, bookkeeping is the last thing you have time for. Suddenly you are months behind and have no idea where you stand.

Why hair salons need a dedicated bookkeeper
Hair salons and barbershops have a unique mix of revenue streams, service income from employed stylists, booth rental income from independent contractors, retail product sales, and sometimes gift card liability, all flowing through the same accounts. Each one needs to be recorded differently. Independent stylists who rent booths are contractors and may need 1099s at year end. Product sales have different margins than services. Gift cards are a liability until redeemed. Mike sets up your QuickBooks to handle all of these correctly so your books accurately reflect what your salon is actually earning and spending every month.
Common questions from Salon owners
Do you understand how booth rental income works?
Yes, booth renters are independent contractors, not employees. As part of bookkeeping for salons, Mike records their rental income correctly and keeps the documentation needed for 1099 reporting at year end.
Can you separate my service income from my retail sales?
Yes, Mike will set up your QuickBooks so service income and retail product sales are tracked in separate accounts. That’s a core part of bookkeeping for salons done right, so you can see the margin on each revenue stream and know exactly what is driving your profitability.
How much does bookkeeping cost?
