Local guide
Running a salon in Cardiff
Cardiff's hair and beauty businesses operate in a city with a large working population as well as residents. Finance and business services are prominent, with offices including Capital Tower and Brunel House, and many workers commute into the city from surrounding areas. Appointments fitted around a working day present different demands from a longer planned treatment. Cardiff's television production sector also adds another potential audience for hair and beauty services.
For appointment-led businesses, payment starts before the client reaches the chair as well as after the treatment. Pay by Link supports deposits for bookings through text, email or QR code. Teya Pro offers on-screen tipping and a printed receipt at the end of an appointment. Teya Lite is pocket-sized for taking payment beside a treatment chair, while the Teya app and portal let owners see their sales and transactions.
Booking around the working day
A client working in Capital Tower calls to arrange a longer hair appointment around their diary. The salon can send a booking deposit request through Pay by Link by text or email. That handles the deposit remotely, without asking the client to leave work and visit reception before their appointment.
Finishing a lunchtime appointment
A client visiting during a break from Brunel House is ready to pay after a treatment. Bring Teya Pro to them for contactless, chip and PIN, Apple Pay or Google Pay. On-screen tipping is supported, and the built-in printer provides a receipt if the client would like a paper record.
A booking around filming work
A client whose work involves Roath Lock Studios arranges a beauty appointment by phone. Send a payment link for the booking deposit, then use Teya Lite beside the treatment chair for payment at the visit. The pocket-sized machine offers digital receipts, and the owner can view transactions through the Teya app.

Questions from Cardiff hair & beauty salons

Pay by Link lets you send a deposit request by text, email or QR code. For clients fitting a salon visit around work at Capital Tower or Brunel House, that means the booking payment does not require a separate visit to reception.
Can clients leave a tip on the card machine?
Teya Pro supports tipping on screen as part of payment after an appointment. For a Cardiff salon serving office workers or clients from the television production sector, it also offers printed receipts and accepts contactless, chip and PIN, Apple Pay and Google Pay.
