How a hair braiding studio really runs

At Merchant Fund Express, we set up Clover for hair braiding studios: the right devices, the features that matter in your workflow and on-site training for your staff.

The rush

Braiding appointments run long, often four to eight hours, so the day is booked in a few big blocks. Weekends and the weeks before holidays and school starts fill up first.

The menu

Styles are priced by length and size, with add-ons like hair, beads and wash. Deposits at booking protect stylists from no-shows on a full-day appointment.

The payment mix

Deposits by card when booking, balances by tap or card at the end, and tips for the stylist. Some clients still pay balances in cash.

The people

Several stylists, sometimes renting chairs. Each needs their own login so tips and service totals are separate. Many studios mix employees and chair renters, and each needs to see only their own clients, services and tips.

The hardware layout

A Flex at each station or shared between chairs lets stylists take the balance and tip without walking the client to a counter. A Mini at the front can handle hair and product sales while the stylists stay at their chairs.

The core device is the Clover Flex.

Flex: Chairside checkout with tips
Mini: Front counter and products
Flex Pocket: Mobile and house-call appointments

Settings worth getting right

Give each person their own login and limit refunds and discounts to managers.
Put your five best sellers on the first screen so new hires find them without hunting.
Check the connection indicator at open so a dropped Wi-Fi link is found before the rush.
Build modifiers once so tickets read the same at the counter, the kitchen and in reports.
Turn on receipt options that match what customers ask for: paper, text or email.

What to avoid

Taking deposits through a personal app makes the books impossible to reconcile. Record deposits in the system against the appointment. Also note the price quote on the appointment; when a style runs longer or larger than planned, a recorded quote keeps the conversation about the balance simple.

Setup and training

Setup is done with you in the room: devices placed where they will really be used, items and modifiers entered in your language, a test of each payment type and a short training session for opening and closing.

Common questions

Can we take deposits for long appointments?

Yes. Deposits can be recorded and applied to the final bill, so the stylist knows the balance due.

Can each stylist track their own tips?

With individual logins, tips and services are tracked per stylist.

Can I take a deposit when a client books?

Yes. Deposits can be recorded as partial payments and applied at the appointment.

What will this cost me?

At Merchant Fund Express, there is no price list on purpose. Your quote is built from your monthly card sales, your average ticket and the devices you need, so call (305) 384-8391 and we will price your actual setup.

Can I get a free review of my current processing?

Yes. Send or read us a recent statement and we will walk through what you pay today, with no obligation.
