Card machines for hair & beauty salons in Edinburgh
We set up Teya card machines for hair & beauty salons in the Old Town, Leith, Stockbridge and across Scotland, with a bespoke quotation based on your card turnover and a real person to call.
Edinburgh trade spikes hard around the festival period, so merchants here often want kit that copes with seasonal volume swings.

Local guide
Running a salon in Edinburgh
For hair and beauty businesses in Stockbridge or Leith, Edinburgh's working population provides a different backdrop from visitor-led hospitality. Government, legal services, education and health all feature in the city's economy, with Scottish Government offices at Victoria Quay. An appointment diary can reflect clients fitting a treatment around work as much as visitors preparing for an evening out, making the booking conversation as important as the reception desk.
That creates payment needs before, during and after an appointment. Pay by Link lets you request a booking deposit by text or email, while Teya Lite is pocket-sized for taking payment at a chair or treatment station and supplies digital receipts. At reception, Teya Pro supports on-screen tipping and printed receipts. You can view sales and transactions in the Teya app and portal while keeping your appointment records separately.
A deposit for a longer appointment
A Stockbridge client books a longer colour or beauty appointment by phone, and your booking policy requires a deposit. Send a Pay by Link request by text or email so they can pay without visiting reception. You can then view the transaction in the Teya app or portal when updating your own diary.
Settling after a workday treatment
A client coming from work at Victoria Quay finishes a treatment and wants to settle before collecting their belongings. Bring pocket-sized Teya Lite to the chair or treatment station. It has Wi-Fi and 4G and provides digital receipts, giving you a way to take payment without making reception the only checkout point.
Reception payments after festival styling
A visitor books styling before an evening at the Fringe and pays at reception when the appointment finishes. Teya Pro accepts contactless, chip and PIN, Apple Pay and Google Pay. On-screen tipping gives the customer that option during payment, while the built-in receipt printer provides a paper record if they want one.

Questions from Edinburgh hair & beauty salons
Can I take deposits for appointments at my Leith salon?
Yes. Pay by Link supports deposits and bookings through a payment link sent by text, email or QR code. A client booking your Leith salon by phone can receive the link remotely, and you can check transactions alongside your own appointment records.
Can clients pay at the chair in my Stockbridge salon?
Teya Lite is pocket-sized for moving around and uses Wi-Fi and 4G, making it an option for chair-side payments in a Stockbridge salon. It supplies digital receipts. If printed receipts or on-screen tipping are priorities, consider Teya Pro for your reception area.
