Salon POS for Kenyan salons and barbershops

In most Kenyan salons the stylist does the hair and the money goes to the counter, and at the end of the week someone has to work out who did what. Afritelligence records the stylist on every service — braids, weaves, retouch, nails, a cut and a beard trim — so commission is worked out as you go.

Set each stylist's or barber's rate as a percentage or a flat amount, with a different rate on any service or product. See each person's clients, sales and commission for any month and record what you paid them.

  • ✓Services and products at one till
  • ✓M-Pesa, cash or card, or a split
  • ✓Commission per stylist, barber or therapist
  • ✓Monthly earnings and payouts per person
  • ✓Client history and SMS offers
  • ✓Hair and beauty products stock

What is salon software?
