Local guide
Running a salon in Luton
Hair and beauty businesses in Luton work within a broad retail and service economy, not just a dedicated salon district. The market inside the main shopping centre includes hairdressers and tattoo parlours alongside food and shopping stalls. Wigmore is another part of the town's resident-facing service landscape. With a borough population of 225,262 at the census, appointment books can reflect regular maintenance visits as well as preparations for local occasions.
That creates a mix of advance bookings, walk-in payments and clients buying a product after their treatment. Pay by Link lets you request booking deposits by text, email or QR code. Teya Pro supports on-screen tipping and printed receipts, while pocket-sized Teya Lite can be carried to a seated client. The Teya app and portal show sales and transactions, and staff can be set up for your business.
Booking ahead of carnival
A client arranging a hair or beauty appointment before Luton International Carnival may book without visiting first. Pay by Link lets you request a deposit by text or email for that booking. When the appointment takes place, Teya Pro supports card and mobile wallet payments, with tipping available on screen.
Walk-ins during a shopping trip
A hairdresser in the town centre market may serve someone fitting a trim into a shopping trip. Teya Pro handles contactless, chip and PIN, Apple Pay and Google Pay at the end of the appointment. Its built-in printer gives the client a paper receipt before they return to their errands.
Paying from the salon chair
In a Wigmore salon, a client may want to settle up while seated rather than moving to reception with their belongings. Pocket-sized Teya Lite can be brought to the chair and uses Wi-Fi or 4G. It provides digital receipts, so this payment arrangement does not need a printer on the machine.
