How Nairobi salons can track income, expenses and customer payments
A Nairobi salon may handle walk-in clients, bookings, repeat customers, product sales and staff commissions. Payments may be made in Cash, M-PESA or sometimes Bank.
The salon may look busy, but profit depends on expenses such as rent, electricity, water, products, towels, staff, repairs and marketing.
Some customers may pay deposits or balances later, especially for larger services. Those payments need clear records.
What to track
- Service income.
- Product sales.
- Cash and M-PESA payments.
- Customer deposits and balances.
- Staff commissions or wages.
- Salon supplies and product stock.
- Rent and utilities.
Why this matters
- Busy appointment books do not automatically mean profit.
- Product costs and staff payments can reduce the real margin.
