Bookkeeping Tips

Salon Bookkeeping 101

Practical tips every salon owner should know — no accounting degree required.

Essential

Separate Business & Personal

Open a dedicated business bank account and credit card. This makes tracking expenses trivial and keeps you audit-ready.

Tax Tip

Track Cash Income Daily

Cash-heavy businesses are IRS audit targets. Log your cash income every day — Salon Accounting makes this easy with daily totals.

Organization

Save Every Receipt

Upload photos of receipts as you go. If you're ever audited, organized receipts are your best defense. Stop using shoeboxes.

Quarterly

Pay Estimated Taxes Quarterly

As a self-employed stylist, you owe estimated taxes 4x per year. Missing payments means penalties. Set up reminders.
