Payroll in three steps, not thirty.

From appointment checkout to pay stub — Hairvana automates the math so you can focus on your team.

STEP 1

Auto-Calculate

Commissions, tips, and hours are calculated automatically from completed appointments and logged time.

STEP 2

Review & Approve

Review the full pay run breakdown by stylist. Adjust any line items, then approve with one click.

STEP 3

Export & Pay

Download individual pay stubs or bulk export as PDF/CSV. Send to your accountant or payroll provider.

Compensation

Built for how salons actually pay.

Most payroll software doesn't understand commission-based pay. Hairvana was built for it — tiered structures, booth rental splits, product commissions, and tip pooling are all first-class features.

Tiered commission brackets that increase with revenue milestones
Separate product and service commission rates per stylist
Support for booth renters, employees, and 1099 contractors
Commission history and trend reports per stylist
Audit trail for every pay run adjustment and approval
Custom pay periods — weekly, bi-weekly, semi-monthly, or monthly

Trusted by salon professionals

Before Hairvana, I spent hours every two weeks calculating commissions in Excel. Now it pulls everything from appointments automatically — I just review and approve. It's saved me an entire day every pay period.
