Payment Processing for Barber Shops
Barber shops represent a unique blend of tradition and modernity. The service is classic, but today's customers expect modern conveniences: card payments, online booking, and professional operations. Unison Payment Solutions bridges this gap with payment technology that respects the barber shop tradition while enabling modern business practices.
Whether you're running a traditional shop with chair rentals or a modern branded operation with employees, our solutions adapt to your business model. Chair renters can have individual logins to track their transactions and tips separately. Employee-based shops can track sales by barber for commission calculations.
Simplicity is essential in barber shops. Barbers are craftsmen focused on their work—they don't want complicated technology. Our terminals feature intuitive interfaces that any barber can learn in minutes. Common services have dedicated buttons. Transactions complete quickly between clients.
Walk-ins are the lifeblood of many barber shops, but appointments are increasingly common. We integrate with booking systems so scheduled clients appear ready for check-out. Walk-ins are handled with equal ease. The system adapts to however your shop operates.
Tip management matters for barber income. Tips are tracked per barber automatically. At day's end, each barber knows exactly what they earned. For shops with chair rentals, this clear tracking supports rent calculations and independent contractor status.
Retail product sales add revenue to service income. Pomades, aftershaves, beard oils, and other grooming products sell well when displayed properly and easy to ring up. Our systems track product inventory and prompt when restocking is needed.
Cash is still common in barber shops, and that's fine. Our systems track cash transactions accurately for complete business visibility. Combined with cards, tips, and products, you get a complete picture of daily operations.
