Nail salons & barber shops: common questions
Can we charge no-show fees?
Yes, if clients agreed to the policy when they booked.
Do booth renters need their own accounts?
Often they have their own. We can set up either model.
Which pricing works best for us?
It depends on your average ticket. We’ll compare flat and interchange-plus on your statement.
What happens after I switch?
We keep reviewing your statements and tell you when fees creep up, so your savings stay saved.
