Why Somerville salons and spas call us
Somerville is the most densely populated municipality in New England, and since the Green Line Extension opened in 2022, nearly 80% of residents live within walking distance of a T station. Davis Square is Somerville's dining and nightlife hub, with the Red Line underneath and Tufts next door. We configure booking and reminders around that traffic pattern.
Teele Square, a half-mile from Davis and a short walk from Tufts, has several hair salons and a barbershop. We set up appointment booking, card-on-file deposits and tip prompts on the reader.
We work with salons and spas in and around Davis Square, Union Square and Assembly Row, and throughout the rest of Middlesex County. If you're near Tufts University or Boynton Yards, you're well inside our service area.
Response time, honestly
Somerville is in the core of our service area. Same-day, on-site support is routine here — a call that comes in during the morning is usually resolved that day.

Why buy this locally
We would rather quote you the smaller setup and keep you for ten years than win a bigger sale and spend two of them taking calls about features you never wanted. That is not generosity, it is how a local business that runs on referrals has to operate.
Salons live and die by the front desk, and the front desk is usually learning the system while a client waits. That makes training and reachable support disproportionately valuable — and it is why we train the desk and the floor as two separate sessions rather than one rushed walkthrough.
If any of this sounds like your situation, the next step is a five-minute phone call. No script, no pressure, and no obligation at the end of it. Call (617) 958-8599 — a local tech answers.
What Somerville salons and spas bring us
If two or three of these sound familiar, your system is working against you rather than for you.
Commission and booth rent calculated by hand
Service commission, product commission, booth rent, tiered splits — doing this in a spreadsheet every two weeks is hours you don't have and errors you can't afford.
Tips split wrong across staff
Shampoo assistants, shared services and multi-provider visits make tip distribution genuinely complicated. Your staff notices immediately when it's wrong.
No-shows and last-minute cancellations
A card on file with a clear cancellation policy changes behavior. Without one, your empty chair is your problem alone.
Retail sitting on the shelf untracked
Product is high-margin and mostly ignored. If it isn't in the checkout flow with stock counts, it doesn't sell and it doesn't get reordered.
Client history nobody can find
Formula notes, color records, allergies and preferences belong attached to the client, visible at checkout and at the chair.
Hardware for Somerville salons and spas
Specified for your space and volume — and we'll tell you what to skip.
Setting up a salon without losing your book
The same process every time, whether you are near Assembly Row or out toward the edge of Middlesex County.
We migrate your client list and your book
Clients, contact details, service history and upcoming appointments. Losing a book in a POS switch is the nightmare scenario and it is avoidable.
We build your service menu and your pay structure
Services, durations, add-ons, and the commission or booth-rent structure for each person on your floor.
We set up online booking and your cancellation policy
Including cards on file and no-show fees if you want them, with the policy language shown at booking.
We train the desk and the floor separately
The desk learns checkout, retail and reporting. Stylists learn their book, their numbers and adding services. Different jobs, different training.
Salons & spas in Somerville: common questions
Do you actually come out to Somerville?
Somerville is in the core of our service area. Same-day, on-site support is routine here — a call that comes in during the morning is usually resolved that day. Somerville is in Middlesex County, which is inside our six-county service area, and we work salons and spas throughout it. Call (617) 958-8599 and we'll tell you what today looks like.
How fast can you get a system installed in Somerville?
Most Somerville setups are live within about two weeks of approving the quote. That window is mostly configuration and hardware delivery, both of which we handle. If you're opening on a fixed date — or your current system is actively failing — tell us and we'll work backward from your date.
Which parts of Somerville do you cover?
All of it, plus the surrounding towns. We regularly work salons and spas in and around Davis Square, Union Square and Assembly Row, and out through the rest of Middlesex County. If you're just outside Somerville, call anyway — the service area is wider than most people assume.
Does it handle commission and booth rent?
Yes — service commission, product commission, tiered structures and booth rent, configured per staff member. We set this up with you during install and verify it against a real pay period before you rely on it.
How do tips get split when two people work on one client?
We configure tip distribution during setup, including splits across providers and tip-outs to assistants. We will run test transactions with you so you can see the numbers land where your staff expects them to.
Can clients book online themselves?
Yes. Online booking with optional deposits or a card on file, plus automated text reminders. If no-shows are costing you real money, we will set up the cancellation policy and fee handling at the same time — the card on file is what makes the policy actually work.
Will it track our retail products?
Yes, with stock counts, reorder points and per-staff product commission. Retail is the most commonly neglected profit center in a salon, mostly because it isn't in the checkout flow. We put it there.
