Why NailWage
The money check your POS and accountant do not explain.
Most salons already have a POS and an accountant. NailWage focuses on the gap between them: card fees, weekly work sheets, technician payout review, and owner-controlled exports.
POS systems track sales
Great for tickets and payments, but weekly technician payouts still often need Excel, paper notes, and manual cash/check math.
Accountants and payroll providers handle official records
They are important for filings and paychecks, but owners still need a simple weekly review before deciding what to export or share.
NailWage gives the owner a private second opinion
Check card fees, review technician payouts, and keep one clear owner worksheet before sending anything out.
Sample result
From one weekly sheet to a technician payout table
Review every technician before saving. If the cash advance or deductions are too high, NailWage warns you before the closeout is finalized.
| Technician | Cash pay | Check pay | Still owed |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lan | $0.00 | $977.00 | $977.00 |
| Mai | $0.00 | $813.00 | $813.00 |
| Hoa | $0.00 | $735.00 | $735.00 |
| Linh | $0.00 | $841.00 | $841.00 |
| Total | $0.00 | $3,366.00 | $3,366.00 |

Easy work entry import
Start with the work sheet you already have
Most salons already have paper, Excel, POS exports, or handwritten weekly totals. NailWage helps bring them in, then makes you review before anything is saved.
Enter by hand
Best for one quick technician entry.
Paste from Excel
Copy a full table from Excel or Google Sheets.
Upload file
CSV, TSV, XLSX, or XLS from your salon records.
POS template
Square, Clover, GlossGenius.
Scan image
Upload a photo and review draft rows before import.
Card-Fee Check
See if your card processor is overcharging you
Salons pay hundreds a month in card-processing fees, but the hidden markup is hard to audit. Upload your merchant statement and NailWage shows your effective rate against a fair benchmark — then save each month and compare it to last to catch rate creep.
Your POS won't tell you
Card fees are part of the processor/POS business model, so owners need an independent second opinion.
Works with any POS
No switching machines or processors. Just upload your monthly merchant statement.
Clear in Vietnamese
A confusing merchant statement made clear in Vietnamese, with the numbers that matter.
The weekly closeout
Upload the work sheet for each technician
Use a phone photo, pasted spreadsheet, uploaded file, POS template, or manual entry.
Review each technician payout
Check commission, tips, deductions, cash advance, check payout, and any cash payout the owner chooses.
Close the week when the owner is ready
Keep the review as an owner worksheet, then finalize, export, or share technician summaries only when you choose.
