Tersavia for Hair Salons
Most salons are two businesses wearing one sign: stylists on commission and stylists renting a chair, on the same floor, on different money. Booking, payroll, commission splits, and client formula history are all free — and the price doesn’t move when you add the seventh chair.

A commission stylist earns a percentage that may step up with volume and may differ between services and retail. A booth renter pays you rent and keeps her own take. Run both through a platform that only understands one model and the reconciliation lands on someone — usually the owner, usually Sunday, usually in a spreadsheet.
Payroll and commission tracking are part of the free platform, with commission calculated per provider on services and retail.
A returning colour client is a formula: the base, the developer, the timing, the correction you made last time because the last salon went too warm. When that lives in a stylist’s personal notebook, two things happen — the guest can’t be covered when that stylist is out, and if she leaves, the formula leaves with her.
Client notes hold formulas on the record, so any stylist on the floor can pick up the guest without starting the consultation over.
Salon staffing moves. You add a stylist for the season, a renter takes a booth for six months, someone goes part-time. On per-calendar or per-user pricing, each of those is a billing event — the platform takes a raise every time you staff up, and you keep paying while a chair sits empty.
There’s no per-stylist and no per-chair charge here. Seven chairs cost what one does.

Social posting and review management are what fill a chair in this business. $99 a month each, month to month, drop either whenever.
Payroll and commission handling is the line item this vertical gets charged for. It’s commonly gated to a higher tier or sold as an add-on with a per-employee charge stacked on top — one platform lists payroll around $34 a month plus roughly $5 per employee, and that shape is fairly standard. The more stylists you have, the more you pay for the tool that calculates what you owe them.
Payroll and commission tracking are free here, at any headcount, and there is no tier above you that holds them.
Colour formulas in client notes. They are the least standardised data in this industry — free text, abbreviations, stylist shorthand — and they are the most expensive thing to lose, because the only backup is a stylist’s memory. Export them before you cancel anything, and check that the text came across intact rather than truncated.
Bring formulas, service history, and product preferences into client notes during setup so the first appointment on the new system isn’t a re-consultation.
Yes. Commission rates are set per provider on services and retail, and renters can be run on the same calendar without being paid through the same structure. You are not forced into one model for the whole floor.
Yes. Payroll, commission tracking, and the staff time clock are part of the free platform. There is no per-employee charge and no higher tier holding them.
On the client record, in notes any stylist on the floor can open — along with appointment history and product preferences. That is what makes covering a guest possible when her usual stylist is out.
No. There is no per-stylist, per-chair, or per-calendar charge, and a second location costs the same as the first. The platform price does not move when you staff up.
Never. We do not run a consumer marketplace, so there is no directory putting the salon down the street next to you and no cut of a first visit. The guests you earn are yours, including the ones your ads paid for.
A per-calendar fee looks small on the plan page and compounds every time you staff up — and it sits on top of processing, messaging, and add-ons that rarely get audited. Here’s what the major platforms charge in 2026, and how to audit your own bill line by line.
