Hair salon software — booking by chair, commission for stylist and assistant
Ordersys hair salon and barbershop software: booking by chair and stylist, commission split between stylist and assistant on one invoice, colour and chemical history per client, retail products sold alongside services.
Booking by chair and stylist
A hair salon runs many turns per chair a day, with services from 30 minutes to 3 hours. Bookings are placed by chair and stylist with a duration per service, and walk-ins fit into gaps without breaking existing bookings.
- Duration per service
- Walk-ins into free gaps
- Online booking, Zalo reminders
Stylist and assistant commission
A client usually passes through two people: the stylist who cuts or colours and the assistant who washes. The invoice records both with their own rates and splits commission automatically. Retail sales add sales commission to the right person.
- Several staff on one invoice
- Rates by service and by person
- Retail commission
Colour and chemical history
Record the colour formula, brand, processing time and scalp reaction for each client. Next time they ask for “the same as last time”, any stylist opens it and gets it right.
- Colour formula per client
- Allergy and damaged-hair notes
- Before and after photos
Retail sales and keeping clients coming back
Shampoo, treatments and wax sold at the counter are stocked like a shop. Clients absent for 6 weeks are listed for a reminder; loyalty points and birthday offers keep regulars.
- Retail stock
- Win-back reminders
- Loyalty and birthday offers
How hair salon software differs from a generic POS
A hair salon has the speed of a retail shop and the pay structure of a service business. Generic software usually handles only one of the two.
One invoice, two people who earned
A generic POS records one salesperson. A salon needs commission for the stylist and the wash assistant on the same invoice, or the owner calculates by hand at month end and someone always feels short-changed.
Service duration drives the schedule
A cut is 30 minutes, a perm is 3 hours. A schedule that ignores duration double-books and clients wait. Ordersys attaches a duration to every service, so you see exactly when each chair frees up.
Colour clients return for the right colour
The formula is something the client does not remember but is very upset about when it comes out wrong. Stored per client, any stylist reproduces it — that is why clients do not switch salons.
Barbershops need it even faster
Barbershops are mostly walk-ins with short services; payment must take seconds. Ordersys has a quick-sale screen: pick the barber, pick the service, take payment, print — three taps.
A day at a hair salon running Ordersys
Opening
Today’s schedule per chair: who is booked in which slot, which stylist, which chair is free for walk-ins.
Client arrives
Regulars open with their colour formula and last services. Reception creates the ticket with the main stylist; the wash assistant is added later.
During the service
Add extras (treatment, repair) on the ticket, sell retail with stock deducted. Record a new colour formula if the client changes colour.
Closing
Revenue by payment method, commission per stylist and assistant calculated, retail stock at end of day. The owner checks on a phone.
Should a hair salon use dedicated software or share one with spa and nails?
All three are “beauty”, but they charge differently: spas sell multi-session packages, nail salons price by design, hair salons charge per visit and split between several staff. Ordersys is one system configured per model: a hair salon turns on booking by chair, multi-stylist commission and colour records, without seeing spa features it will never use.
A hair salon that also offers nails or scalp treatments runs on the same system with a separate commission scheme per service group. A multi-branch chain keeps client records and colour formulas with the client, so every branch gets it right.
