Both prices on the service menu, before anyone sits in the chair.
Salons, barbershops, nail studios and day spas book by appointment, check out at the front desk, and sell shampoo off a shelf on the way out. FeeSlicers sets up dual pricing that fits that rhythm, with tips and returning clients in mind.

Clients know the price when they book. Keep it that way.
A salon client sees your prices on the booking page, the menu at the front desk, sometimes a chalkboard by the mirror. They come back every four to eight weeks, and they don't want a surprise at checkout. Neither does the stylist who has to stand there while they pay.
Some clients pay cash and plenty pay by card, for services, retail and packages alike. Dual pricing gives each client a visible choice, and it only works in a salon if the choice is visible before the appointment, not sprung at the register.
With Edge, North's dual-price program, each service and product gets a cash price and a card price about 4% higher. A $150 color is $156.00 on a card. A $75 pedicure is $78.00. Debit and credit share one card price.
Four parts of a salon visit, with two prices.
The service menu
Post both prices on the menu at the desk and on your website or booking page, card price first. Clients choose with all the information in front of them.
Checkout and tips
A Smart Flex at the front desk gives the client their own screen to see both totals and add a tip. For a booth renter or a busy barbershop, a Smart Terminal Mini can go right to the chair.
The retail shelf
Shampoo, styling products and gift sets carry two prices like services do. A $28.00 bottle of conditioner is $29.12 on a card. Retail mode tracks product inventory so you know when to reorder.
Regular clients
Card-on-file and the customer directory in Payments Hub let a regular who asks you to keep a card check out in seconds. Their card is charged the card price, the same as any card payment.
Tips stay with your team.
This is the first question nearly every salon owner asks. Clients tip the way they do today: on the screen when they pay by card, or in cash handed to the stylist. Dual pricing sets the price of the service and the products; it doesn't change how tips are given. Before you launch, George will set up the tip prompt with you and show your staff what the client sees.
Running a med spa or offering services a doctor or nurse performs? Read our dental and medical page too, since practices billed through insurance are a different situation.
The cost for a salon or spa.
One free Payanywhere Smart device per location for qualifying merchants through December 31, 2026. Requires a $5 monthly service fee and a $25 monthly minimum. Software subscription applies.
Posting both prices.
The card price goes on your menu, booking page and product shelf for every service and item, with the cash price next to it. Keep North's notice ("Items have both a cash and a non-cash price") visible at the front desk; it comes in English and Spanish. States add rules of their own about how prices are posted, so check your state's guide before updating your booking software.
Salon and spa questions.
Do I need to change my booking app?
You keep your booking app. What changes is the prices it shows: list the card price for each service, with the cash price beside it if the app allows. George can look at how your app displays prices and suggest wording.
We have booth renters. How does that work?
It depends on whether renters take payments under your account or their own. George will walk through your setup and tell you what fits; a renter with their own business may want their own account.
What about prepaid service packages?
A package of services sold up front gets a cash price and a card price like anything else on the menu. George will go over how your package sales are rung so the prices match what's posted.
Will longtime clients mind?
Regulars see both prices on the menu before the appointment, and the screen at checkout matches. Many owners mention the change to their regulars in person a few weeks before it starts.
