Nail Technician W2 vs 1099: What Salon Owners Need to Know
Understand the difference between W2 and 1099 nail technicians, the risks of misclassification, and how it affects payroll.
Choosing the right POS system is one of the biggest decisions a nail salon owner makes. The right setup keeps the front desk fast, tracks turns fairly, and gives you the reports you need at tax time. This guide walks through what to look for in 2026.
What a Nail Salon POS Actually Needs
Generic retail POS systems miss the features that matter to a nail salon, like turn rotation, technician tip handling, and walk-in flow. Learn what a purpose-built salon POS includes and why it matters.
Payments, Tips, and Gift Cards
Look closely at how the system processes payments, splits tips, and sells gift cards, since these touch every ticket.
Reporting and Payroll
Good reporting turns daily tickets into clean payroll and tax numbers, so check what exports and summaries are available.
Front Desk and Check-In
Consider how the POS connects to booking and self check-in to keep your lobby moving. See how a self check-in kiosk can speed up busy days.
