Salon POS for Houston, from Bellaire to Katy

Houston is one of the most diverse salon markets in the country: Vietnamese-owned salons along Bellaire Boulevard, Hispanic salons from the East End to Pasadena, and suburban colour studios in Katy, Sugar Land and The Woodlands.

What Houston salons need from a POS

  1. Humidity and smoothing

    Keratin and smoothing treatments are long, high-value services; they are exactly the bookings to protect with a deposit.

  2. Bilingual desks

    Many front desks switch between English, Spanish and Vietnamese in one morning; staff choose their own interface language.

  3. Quinceañeras and weddings

    Group bookings for updos and makeup: one booking, one deposit, each guest checked out separately.
