Hair Salon Commission & POS Malaysia: Tiered Stylist Pay Without Spreadsheets
May 15, 2026
If you pay stylists on commission, your real system is not the booking calendar—it is who sold what, at which rate, for which month.
Why booking-only tools fall short
Generic salon booking apps track appointments. They rarely answer:
- Which tier did each stylist hit this month?
- Does POS revenue match payroll?
- Can finance export a dispute-ready report?
Malaysian hair salons with 3–20 staff feel this every month-end.
Commission + POS in one flow
A practical stack looks like this:
- POS checkout attributes service revenue to the stylist on the ticket.
- Tiered plans (e.g. RM0–9,999 at 10%, RM10,000–19,999 at 15%, RM20,000+ at 20%) apply to service revenue for the period.
- Recalculate while the payroll period is open.
- Lock and approve settlements, then export CSV for accounting.
SiteHair is built around that flow for Malaysian hair salons—with bookings, client records, WhatsApp reminders, and MyInvois on the same operational data.
What to configure first
- One compensation plan per stylist (cliff or progressive tiers).
- A monthly payroll period aligned with your payout calendar.
- Reports → Commission tab for owner visibility and exports.
