These examples use sample numbers so you can understand the results before adding your salon's records.
Pay policy
Write down how your salon handles service split, tips, fees, supplies, refunds, and pay day — then share a private link the technician marks received.
Technician statement
A clear per-period statement — service, tips, service split, what's owed — the technician views and marks received on their phone.
Turns & Tips
Track the walk-in rotation and split a shared tip jar cents-exact by turns, with a fairness score so the rotation stays even.
POS Totals Check
If you have a POS summary, enter 2 totals to quickly check whether POS agrees with NailWage daily work. Optional for weekly closeout.
Interactive
