Accountants for hair & beauty — chair rent, cash and tax sorted, so you keep more of every booking
Whether you rent a chair or run a salon, your tax has its quirks — cash takings, products, kit. We sort your Self Assessment, claim every cost, and keep your tax low while you focus on clients.
- Fixed monthly fee
- A named accountant
- UK-wide, fully online
Everything you need
One team, one fixed fee
- Self Assessment. Your return filed, products, kit and costs claimed in full.
- Bookkeeping Services. Takings (cash included) and costs kept tidy and tax-ready.
- VAT returns. If you cross the threshold, VAT registration and returns handled.
The bits no one warns you about
Most hair and beauty pros didn’t go into the trade to do bookkeeping — yet there’s a tax return, cash to record properly, and a list of costs you could be claiming.
Get it wrong and you either overpay tax or risk questions from HMRC about cash takings. Neither is what you need after a full day of clients.
- A tax return to file each year
- Recording cash takings properly
- Chair-rental or booth-rental income to handle
- Products, kit and equipment costs to claim
- Knowing how much tax to set aside
- Whether (and when) to register for VAT
Everything handled, under one roof
Hair and beauty professionals work for themselves in lots of ways — renting a chair, going mobile, or running a salon with a team — and each comes with its own tax, from cash takings to product costs and equipment.
We make the money side simple. We handle your Self Assessment or salon accounts, claim every allowable cost, keep your records tidy (cash included), and tell you exactly what to set aside.

Hair & beauty bookkeeping

The honest answers to what you’re thinking
How much does an accountant cost for a hairdresser or salon?
For a self-employed stylist the return is usually simple, so we keep the fee low and fixed; salons with staff and VAT are a bit more. Either way it’s agreed up front.
I rent a chair — how does my tax work?
As a chair renter you’re self-employed, so you file a Self Assessment, declare your takings and claim your costs (including the chair rent). We handle all of it for you.
Do I need to worry about declaring cash?
Yes — cash takings must be recorded and declared. We set up simple record-keeping so it’s done properly and you’ve nothing to worry about.
I’ve no time for the books — is that ok?
That’s exactly who we help. Send us your figures and we do the rest, around your schedule.
