Booker says 18 services done. Three colors, four cuts, two highlights, a treatment, eight walk-in trims. Tip jar shows ~€89.
Were any of the chairs idle today? Did the color cost on Tuesday's bleach job eat the entire cut?
You don't know. Chiara was scheduled 10–18 today — there's a feeling she had two open hours that nobody booked. The tube prices on Olaplex went up 8% last month; nobody told you. Retail attach was — you check your phone — four products on eighteen clients. That's low and you know it.
You'll find out properly in seven weeks, when your accountant lands the quarterly. By then the idle hours have repeated nine more times. By then the idle hours have repeated nine more times. The Olaplex bleed is up to €240. You haven't pushed retail since February.
You sweep up. The numbers you needed to plan next week's roster were in the booker the whole time. Just not in a form you could read after an 11-hour Saturday.
For a 3-chair salon doing around €18k/month, here's where margin quietly leaves the chair. Each leak is one small thing. Each one is invisible until the accountant lands.
Two-hour gaps on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons that you'd see on a heatmap. ~€18/hour base × 6 idle hours/week × 13 weeks ÷ realistic occupancy — about €420 you paid for nothing.
Color supplier raised wholesale 8%. Service price didn't move. Margin on every bleach + tone dropped 6 points before the next quarterly. Visible in week one with daily product cost tracking.
You're leaving roughly €320/month on the table because nobody's prompting the retail upsell at the chair. One nudge per week and you're at 8% — that's €960/quarter back in the till.
Tuesdays run 8% no-show. Saturdays 2%. You'd see it on a heatmap and adjust the deposit policy for weekday slots. Smaller window = ~€280/qtr back in chair revenue.
— Illustrative figures, modelled from real salon-vertical patterns. Your version is probably worse on at least one row. nouz catches each of these the same week it happens.
You wipe the last station. The diffuser's cooling. The blinds are down.
Your phone is on the reception desk. It already says €462,40. Today's EBIT — net of color, products, stylists' base + commission, and a fair slice of rent. Chiara's chair sat empty 14:00–16:00 — flagged for you. Retail attach was 6% today, up from 4% last Saturday because of the takeaway-bottle prompt at the till.
You walk home knowing what today earned. Tuesday's roster is built on the heatmap. The Olaplex price hike has a re-quote in your calendar for Monday. Your accountant still files the books — but you stopped waiting on her to find out how the salon is doing.
That's the whole thing.
nouz is a daily P&L tracker, built for owner-stylists. It pulls services and retail from your booker, costs the color + products line by line, settles your stylists' base + commission, pro-rates your fixed costs into a daily slice, and shows you EBIT before the last broom hits the floor.
Not a replacement for your accountant — keep her. A replacement for the silence between her reports. The numbers a salon actually runs on: services done, chair utilization, retail attach rate, tips — and one number on top: did today pay.
Auto-counted from Phorest, Treatwell, Fresha. Hourly breakdown so you can plan next week's roster on facts.
Booked hours ÷ staffed hours, per chair. Target line at 75%. Idle gaps highlighted at the half-hour level.
Retail revenue ÷ services revenue. Target 12%. Per-stylist breakdown so you know who's pushing the takeaway.
Pooled by service hour or per-stylist rule. Reconciled to the cent against till total. Payroll-friendly export.
Services done, chair utilization by stylist, retail attach, EBIT. The screen between clients and after lock-up.
Four interactions a day. Under a minute combined. Built to survive a 10-hour Saturday with scissors in one hand and a phone in the other.
Glance at the day. Chiara has a 2h gap at 14:00. Push a "10% off treatments today" to your repeat-client list before she sits down.
Supplier dropped off the Olaplex batch. Photo of the invoice, drop it under Products. nouz updates today's cost calculation in real time.
Two retail items so far on 14 clients. Below target. Reminder ping to the front desk: prompt the takeaway-bottle add-on on the last four bookings.
Booker sends services + retail. Variable costs already in. nouz settles fixed-cost slice and shows EBIT. Lock up.
Last 30 days × every half-hour × every chair. Tuesday 11–13 dead — drop one stylist's hours. Saturday afternoons rammed — push earlier opening next week.
Five honest alternatives. They all do something useful. None of them gives you today's chair revenue net of color, products and a fair slice of rent, tonight.
Your accountant still files your books. nouz fills the silence between her reports.
An accountant tells you what March looked like — in May. nouz tells you what Saturday looked like — on Saturday. Different jobs, both needed. She'll thank you for the cleaner data.
Connect your booker (or paste last week's services CSV). Add your three biggest fixed costs — rent, utilities, payroll baseline. Done. You'll close out tonight on nouz.
If your booker can export a daily services total, nouz reads it. Direct hooks below — more rolling out each month.
Hosted in Frankfurt. No data leaves the EU. We never see your clients' personal info — only the service ledger. Export everything to CSV in one click.
One number per day. Green if you made money. Red if you didn't. The rest is one tap away when you want it. No charts of accounts. Nothing to learn.
Single chair or six. Hair, barbershop, nails, brows, beauty. If you sign the rent cheque, this is for you. Multi-location works on the same plan.
Contracts, multi-location, full booker list, cancellation. The fine-print questions, answered without fine print.

Set the commission rule once per stylist — flat %, tiered, hybrid, base + commission, or fully booth-rental. nouz applies it per service and shows you stylist-by-stylist profitability inside the daily P&L.
Tip pool rules (per service hour, per stylist, equal split, custom) are configured the same way. Reconciled nightly against till total. Payroll-friendly CSV export at month-end.
No. If your booker can export a CSV with daily totals — and they all can — nouz reads it. Upload once a day from your phone, or schedule an email-to-import. Same daily P&L.

No extra per-location fee on the standard plan up to three sites. Four or more, talk to us about Team.
Two ways. Per-service product cost: set once per service type (e.g. "color — full head" = €18 in product). nouz applies it automatically.
Invoice-based: snap supplier invoices when they arrive. nouz allocates the spend across the days the products were used. Either works. Most salons start with the per-service rule and tighten with invoices over time.
