Finance software for hair salon owners
Track revenue, recorded costs and calculated profit for any period. Review the result by service category and client, while recorded payments and open order or instalment balances stay separate.
Create your workspaceRevenue sits in the booking system, payments are spread across accounts, and product costs arrive on supplier invoices weeks later. Month-end becomes an evening spent rebuilding what already happened, from memory and a card terminal summary.
A full schedule can still hide product costs, rent and other recorded expenses. Experienced owners ask what a figure already accounts for before they trust it. Perelai keeps revenue, recorded costs and calculated profit visible as separate figures.
Appointments, client history and payment records often live in different systems that never exchange data, so somebody has to check two or three places to answer one question. Perelai keeps each recorded financial event connected to the client and the work behind it.
Complete visits, record payments, redeem packages and add costs as part of the day's work. Perelai keeps each record connected to the client, service category and period it belongs to, so a month-end review starts from a record instead of a reconstruction.
Marking Women's Haircut complete records that the work happened. It does not assert that money arrived. The visit sits in a state you can see instead of being quietly counted as revenue.
When the client settles, the payment attaches to that visit rather than to an anonymous end-of-day total, so the figure keeps its connection to the client and the service category behind it.
A prepaid client redeeming a Treatment settles the visit and moves no money that day. Perelai records the redemption, so recorded payments and settled revenue stay two separate numbers instead of one misleading one.
Choose a day, week, month, quarter or year and read revenue, recorded costs and calculated profit for it, with the service-category and client breakdown underneath and any open order balance kept separate.
| In your salon | In Perelai | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Women's Haircut, Root Color, Balayage / Dimensional Color, Gloss & Toner, Treatment | Services on a Visit | The salon template starts with these five, editable. Each booked appointment becomes a Visit carrying the client, the service and the money activity together. |
| Blow Dry & Style or Bond Treatment added at the chair | Add-ons | Extra work attaches to the Visit it was performed on, so the record matches what happened rather than what was originally booked. |
| Color work compared with finishing work | Service category | Revenue and costs are grouped by category, so the breakdown compares color work with finishing work. It does not report a separate figure for each individual service on the menu. |
| Color Product and Disposable Supplies | Linked expenses | These are recorded as costs for the period, so they appear in the same view as the category revenue they supported instead of surfacing only on a supplier statement. Perelai does not measure how much product a single formula used. |
| A client on a prepaid course of appointments | Package | Credits draw down as Visits are used. A redemption settles the visit and creates no cash movement, which is why redeemed work and recorded payments are shown as different things. |
| A course of treatments being paid off across visits | Order and instalments | What is still owed stays attached to that order, so an outstanding amount has a defined scope rather than being a general sense that somebody owes something. |
| Revenue minus recorded period costs | Profit | Perelai's profit figure is revenue minus the expenses recorded for the period you selected. It is an operational number for running the salon, not an accounting or tax result. |
| What each team member can access | Staff or Supervisor access | Each person is invited with a role, and access follows that role, so a team can work in one workspace without every account being set up the same way. |
The salon template opens with five editable services, two add-ons and two linked expense types, so the first screen already resembles a working salon.
Arriving from this page puts the salon template first in onboarding. You start with Women's Haircut, Root Color, Balayage / Dimensional Color, Gloss & Toner and Treatment rather than naming a service list from nothing.
Adjust durations and prices, keep Blow Dry & Style and Bond Treatment as add-ons if you offer them, and keep Color Product and Disposable Supplies as the cost types you record against each period.
Invite team members with Staff or Supervisor access, and keep schedules, time off and assigned services together. Access follows the role each person is invited with.
Import contacts with vCard, connect Google Calendar, and share your booking link. Start with the next few weeks rather than pausing the salon for a migration.
Perelai runs in your browser. Installing it is optional. How you open Perelai
Perelai tracks the money connected to the work your salon did. It does not pretend to be the rest of your back office.
It records revenue, costs and a calculated profit figure for a period. It does not do bookkeeping, tax filing or financial advice, and it does not replace your accountant.
You can invite team members and keep schedules, time off and assigned services together. Wages, commission and timesheets are not part of it.
Color Product and Disposable Supplies are recorded as costs for a period. Perelai does not weigh product, track usage per formula, or reorder stock.
Yes. The salon template starts with Women's Haircut, Root Color, Balayage / Dimensional Color, Gloss & Toner and Treatment, plus Blow Dry & Style and Bond Treatment as add-ons and Color Product and Disposable Supplies as linked expenses. All of it is editable.
Revenue and costs are grouped by service category, so you can compare color work with finishing work across a selected period, and see a client's revenue history over time. Perelai does not calculate profitability for each individual service on your menu.
No. Perelai records costs by period and service category. It does not weigh color, calculate formula-level usage, or manage backbar inventory. If you need the exact product cost behind a single formula, that is a different kind of tool.
No. Completed work, settled revenue and recorded payments are tracked separately. An appointment can be finished and still be waiting on payment, and a prepaid package can settle a visit without any money moving that day. Keeping the three apart is what makes the period figure mean something.
Revenue for the period you selected, minus the expenses recorded against that period. It is a calculation for running the salon, not an accounting or tax result, and it does not replace your accountant.
Yes. Invite team members with Staff or Supervisor access. Schedules, time off and assigned services stay in the same workspace, with access based on each role.
Start from a salon service list and keep completed work, recorded payments, package redemptions and open order balances as separate, readable records.
