Bookkeeping for
Hair Stylists
As a hair stylist, you're a creative artist and a trusted confidant, transforming your clients' look and confidence with your skill. While you focus on the art behind the chair, the business side of being an independent stylist can often get tangled. The biggest challenge for a 1099 stylist is managing your own finances and, most importantly, your taxes. Setting aside the right amount from every client payment for quarterly estimated taxes can feel like a stressful guessing game. It's also incredibly easy to miss out on valuable tax deductions. Are you meticulously tracking your chair rental, the cost of every tube of color and bottle of shampoo, your new shears, and the fees for that advanced balayage class? Every forgotten receipt is money left on the table, directly impacting your take-home pay.

The Stylist's Challenge: More Than Just a Chair Rental

As an independent stylist, you're not just an artist—you're a small business owner. The biggest stress is often taxes. Are you setting aside enough from every client payment to cover your quarterly self-employment tax bill? It's also easy to miss out on valuable deductions. Every expense—from your chair rental and color supplies to the cost of that advanced balayage class—is a write-off. Without tracking these meticulously, you're leaving your hard-earned money on the table.
A Flawless Financial Foundation for Your Business

We help you categorize every business expense—your booth rent, products, tools, and education—to ensure you maximize your tax deductions.
