Deposits that actually hold the slot, tips that reach the stylist whole, and a card on file so the rebooking takes one tap.
Four things that change on Monday.
Deposits that hold
A card is taken when the slot is booked, so a no-show costs the client rather than the chair.
Tips, whole
The tip reaches the stylist without a fee taken out of it on the way.
Card on file
Rebooking at the desk is one tap, not a card hunt in a handbag.
Gift cards
Sold and redeemed on the same terminal, so the balance is always right.
Chair rental
Renters settle to their own account; the salon still sees one deposit.
Everything happens beside the mirror.

No walk to the desk
Split by stylist
Each chair reports separately
Deposits on booking

In the account by morning
Where an appointment business actually loses money.
None of it is the rate on your statement.
The slot cannot be resold at short notice, so the whole hour is gone. A deposit is the only thing that changes that.
When the tip is part of the captured amount, the fee is charged on it too — and it comes out of the salon.
A card already on file turns "I will call" into a booked slot before they stand up.
We asked for deposits for the first time this year. The no-shows stopped almost immediately.
