A salon bill looks simple on the surface — haircut, facial, waxing. But underneath: which staff member did the service, what product was used, was it a package deal, and does the client have loyalty points? Salon billing software must handle all of this, not just print a receipt.
What Salon Billing Software Must Handle
- Service-Based Billing — Bill by service name, not product — "Haircut (Women) ₹300", not by weight or quantity
- GST on Services — 18% GST applies to salon services; software must split into CGST 9% + SGST 9%
- Customer Loyalty Points — Clients who earn points come back; track and redeem at billing counter
- Staff-Wise Reports — Know which staff member generated how much revenue this month
- Membership & Packages — Pre-paid packages ("10 sessions for ₹5,000") need to be tracked per client
- WhatsApp Receipt — Send bill on WhatsApp — clients love the professional touch
If your salon's annual turnover exceeds ₹20 lakh (₹10 lakh in special category states), GST registration is mandatory. Once registered, every service bill must include 18% GST with CGST and SGST breakup.
Loyalty Points — The Salon's Biggest Retention Tool
A client who earns ₹50 in loyalty points on a ₹500 service is far more likely to return than one who doesn't. Loyalty programmes increase visit frequency by 20–35% for salons and beauty parlours.
With Billux, loyalty points are automatic:
- Set earning rate: e.g., 1 point per ₹100 spent
- Set redemption rate: e.g., 1 point = ₹0.50
- Enter client's phone at billing → points balance shown automatically
- Client redeems points → discount applied to bill
