Local guide
Running a salon in Swansea
Hair and beauty trading in Swansea serves a working population spread beyond the city centre. The DVLA headquarters is in Morriston and employs around 6,000 people in the city, while Gorseinon and Pontarddulais are separate built-up areas within the wider council boundary. Swansea's employment is heavily service-led, including public administration, education and health. For appointment businesses, that makes residents' work routines an important consideration when planning consultations, treatment slots and repeat visits.
Appointments create a different payment pattern from walk-in retail: a deposit may come before the visit, with the remaining payment and an optional tip afterwards. Pay by Link lets you send deposit requests by text or email. Teya Pro supports on-screen tipping and printed receipts, while pocket-sized Teya Lite can be carried to a client and provides digital receipts. Sales and transactions are visible in the Teya app and portal, where staff can also be set up.
Booking around a working day
A client working in Morriston phones to arrange a longer appointment but cannot visit beforehand to pay a deposit. Send a Pay by Link request by text or email. They receive a payment link remotely, and you can view the transaction in the Teya app and portal alongside other business payments.
Payment after the final check
At a Gorseinon salon, a client is ready to pay after checking the finished cut. Staff can bring Teya Lite over rather than directing them back to reception. The device is pocket-sized, uses Wi-Fi and 4G, and provides digital receipts without needing a printer beside the styling station.
Treatment finished at reception
A beauty client in Pontarddulais finishes an appointment and wants to pay by mobile wallet, then leave a tip. Teya Pro accepts Apple Pay and Google Pay and supports tipping on screen. Its built-in printer also provides a paper receipt if the client wants one before leaving the premises.

Questions from Swansea hair & beauty salons
Can a Morriston salon request deposits without an extra visit?
Yes. Pay by Link lets you send a deposit request by text or email, so a client arranging an appointment around work in Morriston does not need to come in to make that payment. Transactions can be viewed in the Teya app and portal.
Can clients tip on screen at our Gorseinon salon?
Teya Pro supports tipping on screen, alongside contactless, chip and PIN, Apple Pay and Google Pay. For a Gorseinon salon taking payment at reception, it also includes a receipt printer. Tipping is available on the device without needing to describe a separate cash arrangement.
