Overview
What SalonAssist delivers
Products are the quiet money in a salon. Shampoo and serums on the shelf bring extra revenue at every checkout, and the colour, keratin and wax used in the chair decide how profitable each service really is. Yet most salons track them in a notebook - or not at all - so stock runs out without warning, bottles disappear, and nobody knows who actually sold the retail.
SalonAssist AI brings your products into the same place as your bookings, bills and staff. Keep one product list with prices and stock, get warned before anything runs out, sell products on the same bill as services, and mark which bottle is open for use during services. Every sale credits the right team member, every product shows up in the customer’s history, and your reports show service and product revenue side by side. Inventory is included in every plan - switch it on when your salon is ready.
Challenges
Problems we solve
Stock runs out without warning
You find out the bestselling shampoo is finished only when a customer asks for it - and the sale walks out of the door.
Opened bottles that seem to vanish
A tub of wax or a bottle of keratin is opened, used for a few days, and finished. Nobody knows how many clients it served or whether that matches the price you charge.
Retail sales that nobody gets credit for
A stylist recommends a serum and the client buys it - but without a record of who sold it, the stylist never sees an incentive and stops recommending.
Selling what you do not have
Promising a product at the counter and then discovering the shelf is empty is embarrassing and costs trust.
Separate bills for services and products
Writing products on a second bill or in a notebook means the day’s total never matches and the customer’s history is incomplete.
No idea what products earn
Without product revenue next to service revenue, it is hard to know whether retail is worth the shelf space.

Salon Inventory Management Software: Stock, Retail & Usage
Salon inventory software that stops surprise stock-outs, puts retail on the same bill, shows how far each bottle goes and credits staff who sell.
Frequently asked questions - inventory & retail
Yes. Inventory and retail selling are included in every plan at no extra cost. It is an optional part of the software, so it stays hidden until your salon decides to switch it on.
Yes. Add products to the same bill as the services, choose how the customer paid, and one invoice is created with services, products, and the tax included. You can also sell products on their own.
It is a product opened for use during services - for example a bottle of keratin or a tub of wax. When you open it, one unit leaves your stock. While billing services you pick which open product was used, so you can see how many services and customers it served before it finished.
No. Stock goes down by one when you open the bottle. Using it during services only counts how many services and customers it served - it does not reduce stock again.
Each staff member can have a Product incentive % that is separate from their Service incentive %. When a product is sold, the person chosen as Sold by is credited, and their reports show product sales and the incentive earned.
No. Offers such as coupons, memberships, packages, and loyalty discounts apply to services. Products are billed at their selling price, which already includes tax.
Yes. On a phone, the New Walk-In screen has Services and Products tabs, so you can bill services, products, or both. The full POS counter is designed for a desktop or tablet at reception.
Stock is kept as one count for the whole salon. Multi-branch salons still see product sales by branch and by staff member in their reports.
You can put the returned units back into stock from the stock history in a couple of taps. Any refund is handled the way you normally do it at the counter.
The Products and stock report lists slow-moving stock - products that have not sold for 60 days or more - sorted by how much money is tied up in them, so you can run a discount or bundle to clear them.
Yes. With team logins, stock can be kept to the owner and managers - the General Manager role includes Inventory, and with a Custom role you choose exactly who can view stock, record deliveries, or make corrections.
