About NailWage
On the owner's side of the moneyyour POS and CPA don't explain.
NailWage is a bilingual, owner-side money check for U.S. nail salons.
It does not replace your POS, CPA, paycheck provider, or lawyer. It checks the gap they leave: whether your card fees look fair, and whether the weekly closeout adds up.
The Card-Fee Check is free and neutral, because the company that runs your POS is usually the card company too, and will not point out its own profit.
NailWage sits between your POS and your CPA
You already have a POS and a CPA. NailWage covers the gap in the middle that nobody else is on your side to check.
POS
Runs the salon day to day — and is usually your card company too.
NailWage
The neutral middle: is the card fee fair, and does the weekly closeout add up?
CPA
Handles your official tax filing at year-end.
Lead with the Card-Fee Check
Upload a monthly merchant statement and see your real card-fee rate. If the statement has detail, NailWage can also separate bank/network costs from what the card company keeps. It's free, and it's the one number nobody else on your side is checking. You can save each month's check and compare it to last month.
Owner draft first, share second
The weekly closeout stays a private owner draft until you choose to finalize, export, or share. Imports and paper scans create draft rows you review — NailWage never auto-saves money or pushes anything to a technician.
One honest number for everyone
Owner view, technician summary, and CPA export all render from the same figures — never a different number by audience. Technician links say received / request correction, never approve, and stay scoped and revocable. It's a reference to cross-check, never a tax document.

- Not tax filing or your CPA.
- Not legal advice — it never decides for you.
Why this exists
Most salons already run a nail POS and trust a CPA — but the POS owns live operations and is usually the card company, and the CPA owns official filing. That leaves the owner alone on two things every week: do the card fees look fair, and does the closeout add up? NailWage is that neutral middle layer — calm, owner-controlled, and not payroll, tax, or legal software.
