Make your own salon bill book: your name on every bill, serial numbers already filled in, 1, 2 or 4 bills per A4 page. Print it, get it cut and bound, and start billing. When the pad gets in the way, see what billing software does instead.
The preview shows the first sheet; printing includes all sheets with consecutive serial numbers. In the print window turn off "Headers and footers" and set scale to 100%. Take the printed sheets to a print shop to be cut and bound as a pad.
Salonipy makes the bill, adds the tax and discount, sends it on WhatsApp and counts the day for you. 7 days free, no card needed.
A bill is the proof of the sale for you and your client. Whether it is a bill book or a printout, it should show:
Our salon invoice guide goes through each of these with an example layout.
| Paper bill book | Salonipy billing | |
|---|---|---|
| Adding up | By hand or calculator, mistakes happen | Totals, discount and tax are worked out for you |
| Day total | Add every bill at closing | The day is counted from the bills |
| Commission | Dig through bills at month end | Each service is tied to the stylist who did it |
| Part payments | Written in the margin | Recorded on the bill instead of the margin |
| Receipt to the client | A paper copy, if the carbon came out | Thermal print or WhatsApp |
| Stock used | Not recorded | Products used come off the same bill |
| Finding an old bill | Flip through the books | Look it up on screen, no flipping pages |
| If the book is lost or wet | The records are gone | Records are stored online and work offline |

"Free" can mean different things, so here is the honest version for Salonipy:
Many owners use the free tools first, then move to the app when the bill book becomes the slowest part of the day.
Use the tool on this page: enter your salon name and contact line, choose how many bills per A4 page and a starting number, then print. Take the sheets to a print shop to have them cut and bound, or staple them into a pad.
A serial number, the date, your salon name and contact details, the client's name, each service or product with its price, any discount, tax if you charge it, the total and how it was paid. A tax or registration number is needed where the law requires it.
For a very small salon it can be. But paper bills cannot add up the day for you, track which stylist did what for commission, take stock off automatically or be sent to the client on WhatsApp. Those jobs are usually what push a salon to billing software.
Salonipy has a free salon invoice maker that needs no sign-up, which is good for making one clean bill at a time. Full salon billing software with client history, commission, stock and reports is a paid yearly plan with a 7-day free trial.
