# POS for salons and nail studios: bookings and commission

> In beevity each chair is a place and each service is a product with its own price, duration and commission. The stylist named on the line earns the commission on the price after VAT, retail products count separately, and a colour done by two people can share it.

## How does commission work in a salon?

A salon pays per service, and often per person. beevity records each service as a line with the stylist’s name on it and calculates the commission from the price after VAT.

| Service | Price incl. VAT | Net after VAT | Stylist rate | Commission |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Men’s cut | 321 THB | 300 THB | 40% | 120 THB |
| Cut and colour | 2,140 THB | 2,000 THB | 30% | 600 THB |
| Gel nails | 535 THB | 500 THB | Fixed 100 THB | 100 THB |

When a junior and a senior work on the same colour, the cashier names both and the commission is shared. Tiered rates reward a busy day: a higher percentage after a set number of services.

## How do chairs and timers help?

Each chair can be a place on the floor plan. A two-hour colour started on chair 3 shows how long that chair is busy, which tells the front desk when to promise the next walk-in. The same rules as in a spa apply: an alert when time is up, an automatic finish, or overtime if you charge for it.

## Can I sell products as well as services?

Yes. Retail products such as shampoo or nail polish have their own stock, and the stock count drops with each sale. A product can carry its own commission rate, different from the stylist’s rate on services.

## What is coming for salons?

Two modules that go live on 1 December are made for salons: [online booking](/features/online-booking/), so clients book a chair and a stylist themselves, and [customer records](/features/customer-records/) with each visit’s colour, products, notes and photos. The till, the chairs and the commission are built.

## Frequently asked questions

### Can a stylist earn a different rate on services and on products?

Yes. The rate can come from the stylist’s template or from the product itself, so a haircut and a bottle of shampoo can pay differently.

### What if two people work on the same client?

The cashier picks both. They can share the service, with an equal part each that can be adjusted, or each receive a full line.

### Can clients book online?

Yes, from 1 December 2026. Clients book by phone number and confirm with a code, and the booking lands on the same chairs and stylists the till uses, so walk-ins and online bookings share one board.

### Will beevity remember the colour used last time?

Yes, with customer records, which go live on 1 December: each visit with the stylist and a note on the products and colours used. Before-and-after photos are not part of it yet.
