POS for Salons & Barbershops

Salon & barbershop POS for services, retail and commissions

Salons and barbershops sell time, skill and product off the shelf. Zeni POS lets you check out a cut, a colour and a shampoo in one flow, see who sold what, and close the day with M-Pesa and cash that actually add up.

Challenges salons & barbershops face

  • Service revenue tracked in notebooks that never match the till
  • Retail product stock vanishing without a sale record
  • Stylist commissions calculated from memory at month-end
  • Walk-ins paying M-Pesa with no link to the appointment
  • Owner unsure which services are profitable after product cost

What Zeni POS gives you

  • Single checkout for services and retail products
  • Product catalog with price and cost for margin on retail
  • Transaction history by sale for commission reviews
  • Inventory for shampoos, relaxers, blades and finishes
  • Dashboard for daily takings at a glance
  • Role controls so only managers edit prices

Day-to-day workflows

Concrete steps your team can follow from open to close — not generic feature lists.

Step 1

Client checkout

Close the visit in one receipt.

  1. Add service items (cut, style, treatment) from Products / POS.
  2. Add retail take-home products to the same cart.
  3. Collect cash or M-Pesa and issue one receipt.
  4. Stock for retail SKUs decrements automatically.

Step 2

Stylist performance review

Pay commissions from records, not arguments.

  1. Filter Transactions for the period you pay commissions.
  2. Attribute sales to the serving stylist in your shop process / notes.
  3. Cross-check retail attachments that inflate a stylist’s ticket.
  4. Export or screenshot totals for payroll.

Step 3

Retail restock

Keep high-margin product on the shelf.

  1. Check Inventory for out-of-stock finishes and shampoos.
  2. Receive new stock before it hits the display.
  3. Update prices only from a manager login.
  4. Review P&L to see if retail is carrying its weight.
