Bookkeeping for Hairdressers
Running a hair salon means late starts, back-to-back clients and a business that barely stops moving. Bookkeeping usually gets pushed to the end of the week.

At Young Guns Bookkeeping, we provide practical bookkeeping services for hairdressers and salons across Melbourne. We help keep your accounts organised and up to date, so you can spend more time behind the chair and less time on the books.
Bookkeeping for Busy Salons
Salon bookkeeping has its own quirks. You may be managing chair rental income, commission-based stylists, retail product sales, stock, casual staff and apprentices, all alongside your day-to-day operating expenses.
We can help with the everyday bookkeeping behind your salon, including:
Bank reconciliations
EFTPOS and payment reconciliation
Accounts payable
Accounts receivable
Chair rental income tracking
Retail product sales reconciliation
Stock and supplier tracking
Expense tracking
Payroll and apprentice bookkeeping
GST and BAS support
Xero bookkeeping
Cash flow tracking
Financial reporting
General bookkeeping support
Keep Your Salon Accounts Up to Date
When you're fully booked out most days, bookkeeping can easily fall behind. But outdated accounts make it harder to understand how your salon is actually performing.
We keep your bookkeeping up to date so you have a clearer picture of your income, expenses and cash position, without having to chase it yourself.
Manage Chair Rental and Commission Income
Many salons operate with a mix of employed stylists, commission arrangements and chair renters, and each needs to be recorded differently.
We can help keep this income properly recorded and reconciled, so your accounts reflect how your salon actually operates.
Track Retail Product Sales and Stock
Product sales can be a valuable part of your salon's income, but they also add another layer of bookkeeping, from stock purchases to point-of-sale reconciliation.
We help keep your retail sales and stock-related transactions organised and accurately recorded.
Xero Bookkeeping for Hairdressers
If your salon uses Xero, we can work with your existing account and take care of the bookkeeping behind the scenes.
We can help with bank feeds, reconciliations, bills, invoices, expenses, GST and general Xero bookkeeping, so your file stays current.
Bookkeeping for Different Salon Businesses
We provide bookkeeping support for a range of hair and beauty businesses, including:
- Hair salons
- Barbershops
- Mobile hairdressers
- Combined hair and beauty salons
- Salons employing apprentices
- Colour and treatment specialists
- Blow dry bars
- Independent stylists renting a chair
Know What Your Salon Is Really Making
A full appointment book doesn't always mean a healthy bottom line. Product costs, wages, rent, commissions and supplier bills can all eat into your margins.
Keeping your bookkeeping accurate and current gives you a clearer picture of where your money is going, and can help when deciding whether to take on more staff, adjust your pricing or invest in the salon.
A Bookkeeper Who Understands Salons
At Young Guns Bookkeeping, we keep things practical. We'll take the time to understand how your salon operates and provide bookkeeping support that suits your business, whether you need ongoing monthly bookkeeping or help getting your accounts back on track.
