What is a nail salon POS system?
A nail salon POS (point of sale) system is specialized software that handles checkout, payment processing, and service tracking for nail salons. It manages split payments, tip calculations, discounts, booking deposits, and card-on-file storage while tracking which services each technician performs. Advanced systems include package and bundle sales, prepaid credit management, and a guided end-of-day closeout wizard with cash reconciliation and full audit trail. Unlike generic POS systems, a nail salon POS understands service-based workflows, commission structures, no-show protection, and multilingual needs common in the nail industry.
Frequently Asked Questions About Salon Point of Sale System
Common questions salon and barbershop owners ask about this feature
Tilavon's salon POS system starts at $39/month for the Boutique plan, which includes checkout, split payments, tip management, and gift card support. The Pro plan at $69/month adds advanced inventory, commission tracking, and marketing tools. There are no per-transaction fees from Tilavon -- you choose your own payment processor (Square, Helcim, or Stripe) and pay their rates directly. Tilavon never marks up your processing fees.
Unlike generic POS systems like Square or Clover, Tilavon is purpose-built for salons and barbershops. It includes commission tracking per technician, tip pooling and distribution rules, walk-in turn queue management, multilingual support in 4 languages, and service-based workflows. Generic systems require expensive add-ons or workarounds for these salon-specific needs. Tilavon also doesn't mark up payment processing fees, which can save salons $2,000-5,000 per year compared to Square's 2.6% + 10 cents per transaction.
Tilavon supports Apple Pay, Google Pay, and all contactless payment methods through its Square, Helcim, and Stripe integrations. Clients can tap their phone or watch to pay. The system also accepts EMV chip cards, magnetic stripe cards, and cash with full cash drawer management and reconciliation.
Tilavon POS is designed for all service-based beauty businesses including barbershops, nail salons, hair salons, and spas. Features like walk-in turn queue management, barber commission tracking, tip suggestions, and fast checkout are specifically built for high-volume barbershop workflows. The multilingual interface supports English, Vietnamese, Spanish, and Chinese.
Tilavon includes a guided end-of-day closeout wizard that walks staff through closing open tickets, counting cash, recording cash drops and payouts, and comparing expected vs actual drawer totals. Any discrepancies are flagged with a variance report. Manager approval PINs are required for voids and refunds, and a full audit trail logs every transaction for accountability.
