Nail salons are one of the fastest-growing and most popular businesses around at the moment, with new ones opening all the time — in department stores, in community malls, at weekend markets and in ordinary shop units. It is also exactly the sort of business that ought to have a POS, or shop management system, to run the day-to-day.
The reason is simple: a shop management system such as Qashier POS lets you handle sales and payments, keep stock under control, look after staff commission, run promotions and operate a membership scheme.
Why nail salons are booming
Beauty matters to women of every age, and these days it is not only women having their nails done — men are coming in too. On top of that, if your salon sits somewhere with plenty of overseas visitors, you stand a good chance of picking up foreign customers as well.
A nail salon is a more complicated business than you would think
Running a nail salon is more complex than you might imagine, because the job is not only painting nails to look pretty. It also covers care and treatment for the health of the nail, and a salon can offer plenty of add-on services besides — hand and foot spa treatments, eyebrow waxing and shaping, and much more.
How much can Qashier POS do for a nail salon?
However many services and products you offer, nothing gets confusing
A nail salon has a long tail of fiddly services and a wide range of products, so the menu and the stock should be properly organised before you open the doors.
Qashier POS lets you group products and services into categories, which makes choosing quick and easy, and you can add photographs and build options too.
The system also shows how much of each item is left and deducts stock automatically. Once a sale goes through, the quantity comes off the system by itself, which makes checking what remains in stock extremely straightforward.
Your customers are what you have to look after
A nail salon is a service business, so customers are what the business has to put first — and Qashier POS makes looking after them smooth work, because you can build a member database, create packages and sales promotions for customers, and run a loyalty points scheme as well
Customers register on the system with nothing more than a name and a mobile number. From there they can buy credit to spend, as well as course packages, which makes them feel they are getting better value.
Win customers over and make an impression on regulars and passers-by alike
Beyond the usual shop management functions, Qashier POS also has an advanced loyalty programme built in — ‘Treats’ — which is very good at holding the attention of both existing and new customers.
Here is what Treats can do:
1. Points are collected by scanning. Customers scan the QR code at the bottom of the receipt to collect points, with no app required.
2. Register once and it works at every shop that uses Treats.
3. A ‘Spotlight’ feature lets a shop build its own link-in-bio web page.
4. An ‘Explorer’ feature gives customers an interactive map so they can find the Treats shops nearest to them.
5. Customers can look back over the points they have collected themselves, through the website.
Taking payment matters too
Qashier POS accepts cash and scan-to-pay straight from the terminal, and it can also take credit cards through an EDC machine and record the sale in Qashier POS all the same.
In particular, Qashier POS supports Dynamic QR, which locks in the amount the customer is transferring and checks the payment automatically — so there is no more worrying about fraudsters or transfers for the wrong amount.
Foreign customers are no problem to take payment from either
Nail salons see their share of tourists, so if the shop takes payment by PromptPay QR, customers from several South East Asian countries can scan and pay with Cross Border QR.
Cross Border QR is a service that lets visitors use their own country's banking app to scan and pay against a Thai QR code. The countries supported include Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam, Singapore, Cambodia, Hong Kong and Laos.
On top of that, Qashier POS can also accept payment through the AliPay and WeChat Pay apps.
Easy to run, from opening up to closing the till
At the end of the day, your nail salon can look at the sales report on Qashier POS, or through the QashierHQ back office on the web. The sales report tells you which products sold well and which did not, and lets you see which services are trending, so planning the next step for the business is simple.
Qashier POS has already made running a nail salon easier for shop after shop — Felizia Nails Spa and Beauty and NARIS nails and lashes among them.
