Nail salon payroll software that finishes payday before you lock up.
Automated tip-out, commission splits, and hybrid pay models — built into the same nail salon payroll software your techs book and check in from.
The problem
Payday shouldn't steal your Friday night
Nail salon owners we talk to describe the same Friday-night ritual — and it's the ritual that pushes tech retention down.
Spreadsheets at midnight
Manual tip-out in Excel. A receipt per tech. A calculator app open on your phone. Math errors that become wage disputes.
Commission splits get messy
Hybrid comp (hourly plus commission plus tips) is normal for nail salons, but generic salon software treats commission as a single rate and leaves the rest to you.
Accountants get garbage exports
CSV dumps without service breakdowns, no per-tech subtotals, no tax-ready classification. Your CPA bills you extra to clean it up.

Day-to-day
What a week of nail salon payroll looks like
Real scenarios nail salon owners run EasySalon for. No invented metrics — the mechanics are exactly what ships.
The Friday rush
Six techs, 60+ appointments, mixed comp models. You close the register and the payroll screen already shows each tech's commission plus tip-out to the penny.
The hybrid tech
One tech is hourly plus commission on upsell services plus tips. EasySalon handles all three streams in one payroll line, with the split rule stored per employee.
Month-end for the CPA
Export the per-tech payroll summary with service classification. Your accountant imports, reconciles, done. No spreadsheet clean-up call.
