Salons & beauty · Kenya
Running a salon, barbershop or spa in Kenya means juggling walk-ins, appointments, retail product sales and stylist commissions — usually across a paper diary, a till and a separate accounts book. Tallium AI puts fast POS billing, live stock on your shelf products, and VAT-ready accounting in one simple app. It's built for busy owners who want to close the till, see the day's takings, and know exactly what they earned without touching a spreadsheet.

Key takeaways
Clients wait while you total up a cut, a blow-dry and a bottle of shampoo by hand, then hunt for change. Peak Saturdays turn into queues, and rushed maths means under-charging and lost shillings by the end of the day.
Shampoo, hair food, extensions and nail products sell alongside services, but nobody tracks what's left. You only notice a fast-moving line is finished when a client asks for it, and shrinkage hides in the gap between the shelf and the till.
If your taxable turnover crosses KES 5,000,000 you must register for VAT with KRA, and eTIMS e-invoicing changes how sales are recorded. Piecing that together from handwritten receipts at filing time is stressful and error-prone.
You feel busy, but you can't say whether braiding, nails or barbering actually makes the money, or how much product versus service revenue you took last month. Guesswork makes it hard to price, staff and plan.
Build a bill from services and retail products on one screen, split payment across cash and M-Pesa, and hand over a clean receipt. Checkout stays fast even when the shop is full, so clients aren't kept waiting in the chair.
Every retail product sold at the till drops your on-hand count automatically, and low-stock alerts tell you when to reorder shampoo, colour or nail supplies before you run out. You always know what's on the shelf without a manual count.
Sales, expenses and receipts flow straight into your books, with VAT tracked in Kenyan shillings and reports ready when you need them. Tallium AI keeps records organised so a VAT3 return on iTax and eTIMS-aligned invoicing are far less of a scramble.
AI-powered reports break down takings by service, product and day, so you can see whether nails or braids drive your margin. Snap a receipt for supplies and it's categorised automatically, so month-end tells a clear story.
