Getting Started with the Salon Sector

What the Salon sector in AskBiz POS covers — bookings, stylist assignment, client history, and product tracking — and how to start using it.

What the Salon sector covers#

The Salon sector is built for chair-based service businesses — hair salons, barbershops, and similar. It covers four real areas: appointment bookings (with stylist and service assignment), a client record (visit history and photos), a colour formula history per client, and product tracking for backbar and retail stock used during services.

Getting the sector#

Like Retail, Repair, Restaurant, and Logistics, Salon is one of AskBiz POS's sectors, switched on from the Services tab in your admin dashboard (askbiz.co/pos) — see Running Multiple Sectors from One POS Account for how the sector picker works generally. You can also pick Salon / Barbershop directly as your business type at signup, which is one of the five POS-track options — see the Complete Onboarding Guide.

Where staff work#

Staff assigned to the Salon sector log in at pos.askbiz.co and see the salon workflow — bookings, clients, and products — rather than a generic retail till.
