Invoicing Software for Salons & Beauty Parlors

Service bills, retail products and GST on one receipt — no separate salon software.

For Salons & beauty businesses

A salon or beauty parlor runs two very different sales in the same appointment: a service (haircut, facial, waxing) that carries SAC-coded GST, and retail products (shampoo, serum, nail polish) sold at the counter with their own product HSN GST rates. Most salons hand-write the service on one receipt and sell products informally — leaving GST unrecorded and collections unchecked.

How salons & beauty billing works

Salon billing is appointment-and-counter: the same customer pays for a treatment and walks out with a retail product, often on the same bill. In 399Apps you raise a GST invoice listing service lines with their SAC code and product lines with their HSN and rate, so treatment revenue and product margin are both tracked cleanly. For home-visit stylists and corporate grooming contracts, client-wise outstanding and AR aging keep deferred payments on time.

GST & TDS, handled right

Salon and beauty parlour services fall under SAC 9982 (personal care and grooming) at 18% GST. Retail beauty products sold at the counter carry HSN-coded product tax — cosmetics at 18% (HSN 3304), perfumes at 18% (HSN 3303), hair preparations at 18% (HSN 3305). These are different supplies from the service lines on the same bill, and 399Apps keeps each line at its own SAC or HSN rate so GSTR-1 reflects both types of supply correctly.

The billing problems it solves

Different service, same trap — money earned that never quite gets billed or collected. Here's what 399Apps keeps straight for salons & beauty parlors:

Service + retail on one bill

One receipt covering the facial (SAC 9982, 18%) and the serum sold (HSN 3304, 18%) — each line taxed correctly.

No GST on the service

Private salons are taxable at 18% on services — 399Apps ensures the right GST is recorded so you are not inadvertently non-compliant.

Walk-in chits that are not invoices

Every appointment produces a proper GST invoice PDF — professional and compliant, not a hand-written chit.

Corporate grooming billing

Hotels, corporates and institutions that pay monthly for grooming services — AR aging tracks which accounts are overdue.

What you get

  • GST invoices mixing service lines (SAC 9982) and retail product lines (HSN)
  • Service-wise and product-wise revenue reports
  • Client-wise outstanding for corporate grooming contracts
  • Credit notes for refunds and service redos
  • Flat ₹399/month — no per-chair or per-seat pricing

One flat price — the whole team invoices

Most invoicing tools charge per user or per invoice, so growing your practice grows the bill. 399Apps is a flat ₹399/month per app for each additional app — GST invoicing, TDS reconciliation and receivables in one system, unlimited users, cloud or self-hosted. Adding partners, associates or account managers never raises the price.
