Why hair & beauty salons choose Shift4 One
Wages paid on time
Next day settlement including Saturdays means a busy weekend of appointments funds Monday's stylist payroll.
1.25% protects treatment margins
On a £65 colour appointment, 1.25% keeps far more of the price than a typical salon card fee.
Pay at the chair, not just reception
4G and WiFi built in let therapists take payment straight after a treatment without walking the client to a desk.
No bill over a slow month
£0 monthly bill and no use no bill mean quiet weeks between peak seasons don't add extra cost.

Hair & Beauty Salons card machine questions
Can we take payment away from the front desk?
Yes. Built in 4G and WiFi let stylists and therapists take card payment right at the chair or treatment room.
Does it help with stylist payroll timing?
Yes. Next day settlement including Saturdays means weekend appointment takings are usually in the account before wages are due.
Will fees eat into a discounted treatment price?
No more than 1.25% of the price on Visa and Mastercard, which keeps far more margin than most standard salon rates.
What if the salon is quiet in January?
No use no bill means a slower trading month doesn't cost you anything extra in standing charges.
Can each stylist have their own machine?
Yes. Additional terminals cost £14 a month each, letting several chairs take payment simultaneously.
