Commission, booth rent, or both in the same shop.
Set compensation per person, track hours and product deductions, and produce a statement each stylist or barber can read without a spreadsheet.
- Commission tiers
- Booth rent
- Per-person statements
No booking commissions, no marketplace fees, no client-poaching.
For shops running more than one compensation model under one roof.
What it does
Most shops are a mix: a couple of commission stylists, a chair renter, someone hourly with a bonus. The compensation model is set per person, not per shop.
Compensation set per person
Commission, booth rent, hourly or a combination — configured for the individual rather than forced on the whole team.
Commission tiers
Tiered rates that step up as a stylist's service revenue grows over the period.
Booth rent tracking
Rent recorded per chair with what is owed and what has been paid visible in the same place as everything else.
Timesheets
Hours recorded against the schedule so hourly and salaried staff are calculated from the same source as commission staff.
Product and fee deductions
Deductions applied per person against the agreement in place, itemised so nobody has to ask what was taken off.
Per-person statements
A period statement showing services, retail, tips, deductions and the net figure, line by line.
In detail
Compensation
One shop, several deals, one payroll run.
The person who rents a chair and the apprentice on hourly plus tips both close their tickets in the same system. The difference is a setting, not a second tool.
- Commission, booth rent, hourly, or a blend, per person
- Changes take effect from a date rather than rewriting history
- Everyone's numbers come off the same tickets

Statements
A statement that ends an argument instead of starting one.
Every line a stylist would question — a deduction, a tip share, a tier change — is shown with the figure it produced.
- Services, retail, tips and deductions itemised
- Net figure derived on the page, not in a back office
- Same statement the owner sees
- Services & retail
- Tips carried through
- Deductions itemised

The math
Booth rent and commission, side by side.
The same chair, run two ways, with the arithmetic shown rather than asserted.
Most platforms assume commission. Many shops run booth rent, and plenty run a hybrid where some chairs are rented and some are commission. NeonO handles all three without a spreadsheet on the side.
- Per-barber configuration: booth rent, commission percentage, hourly, or a hybrid of them.
- Rent collected automatically from the barber's own transaction stream, not chased in cash at the end of the week.
- Retail margin to the shop, service revenue to the barber, tips 100% to whoever earned them.
- A clear per-barber statement each period showing services, retail, tips, rent, and net — so the conversation about money is a document, not an argument.
How a barber is classified — renter, contractor, or employee — affects tax and employment obligations. NeonO will run whichever setup you choose; confirm the classification itself with your accountant.

Questions about staff and payroll
Can I run commission and booth rent in the same shop?
Yes. Compensation is configured per person, so a chair renter and a commission stylist work side by side in one system.
Does NeonO file my payroll taxes?
No. NeonO calculates earnings, deductions and statements. Statutory filing and remittance stay with your payroll provider or accountant.
How are tips handled?
Tips recorded at the point of sale, including splits, carry through to the statement without being entered again.
Can commission rates step up?
Yes. Tiered rates can step up as service revenue grows over the period, with retail commission handled separately.
What do stylists see?
Each person sees their own statement with services, retail, tips and deductions itemised — the same figures the owner sees.
Where do hours come from?
From the schedule, so timesheets are not maintained separately from the calendar the floor already runs on.
