Local guide
Running a salon in Leicester
Hair and beauty appointments in Leicester fit into a city with neighbourhood settings as well as central destinations. Queens Road, New Walk and the Cultural Quarter offer different locations to consider when planning a salon's customer catchment. Leicester had a population of 383,116 in 2025, so repeat custom deserves as much attention as passing trade. For an appointment-led business, the working day is organised around booked services rather than continuous counter orders.
Payments therefore start before some visits and finish after a consultation, cut or treatment. Pay by Link lets you request booking deposits by text or email. At the appointment, Teya Pro supports on-screen tipping and printed receipts, while pocket-sized Teya Lite can move with you and supplies digital receipts. The Teya app and portal let you see sales and transactions, and staff can be set up as the business requires.
A deposit before the appointment
A salon around Queens Road taking a booking for a longer service may choose to request a deposit. Send a Pay by Link request by text or email so the client can pay before visiting. The resulting payment transaction can be viewed in the Teya app or portal alongside other sales.
Finishing a treatment in comfort
At a beauty business around New Walk, a client may prefer to settle without returning to a separate reception counter. Pocket-sized Teya Lite can be carried to them for payment. It offers Wi-Fi and 4G and provides a digital receipt, so there is no receipt printer to bring along.
Payment after a consultation
For a hair appointment in the Cultural Quarter, the final payment follows the agreed service rather than a standard basket of goods. Teya Pro supports contactless, chip and PIN and mobile wallets. Clients can use on-screen tipping if they wish, and the built-in printer provides a receipt at reception.

Questions from Leicester hair & beauty salons
Can our Queens Road salon request deposits without a counter visit?
Yes. Pay by Link lets you send a payment request by text or email for a booking deposit. A Queens Road client can therefore receive the request before their appointment, rather than needing to visit your reception to make that payment.
Which machine suits a New Walk beauty room without a reception desk?
Pocket-sized Teya Lite suits moving around a treatment space and provides digital receipts. If your New Walk business wants on-screen tipping or paper receipts instead, Teya Pro supports both. Choose according to the payment experience you want after each appointment.
