Salon Income

We have included 4 types of common income sources for beauty, hair, and nail salons.

• Revenue from salon services: This will include the total of all the services you sold and the rate for each service. It includes cash, payment through credit cards/debit cards, bank transfer, digital wallets, and checks. Include tips under this head. Here’s a template for the salon income spreadsheet.
• Profit on products sold (purchase price – sales price): If you’re selling hair and beauty products in your salon, use this profit from goods sold template. This is a complicated calculation, but to simplify it, we have included net profit from the product sold. It works if you have a low number of transactions.
• Revenue from gift cards sold: Keep all the gift cards sold amount here, under a separate head instead of having them added to the services sold. Because these gift cards may or may not be redeemed yet. But irrespective of the service provided, you have still made an income just by selling them.
• Other income (if any): If you have any other income such as selling video tutorials, subleases, interest, etc.

Salon Expenses

We have included the most common expenses for every salon, irrespective of their nature, i.e., hair, beauty, or nail salon.

Here’s a detailed article on 3 cost-cutting secrets for salons.

Salaries

Add monthly salaries, commissions, and tips. If you have per-hour salon staff, calculate hours worked and per-hour rate. Include admin and front desk employees’ salaries, too.

Cost of goods purchased

The salon needs a large number of inventories to run the business. Some of them are industry specific, while some a common for all types of salons.

Note: Add items that you’re using in salon operations and not for selling purposes. If you’re selling retail products like shampoos, lotions, hair oils, etc. in your salon, you need to maintain a separate spreadsheet for profit from goods sold.

For example, items like uniforms, aprons, towels, doormats, gloves, wiping and cleaning papers/cloths, chairs, and other furniture are needed in all types of salons.

While some items are specific to the type of services you provide, here are the 3 prominent examples we have included in our salon expenses spreadsheet.
