Business Types in Kenya
How salons in Kenya can track daily income and expenses
Salons can track service income, product sales, rent, supplies, staff payments and daily profit.
A salon may receive money from hair styling, braiding, treatments, product sales, bookings and repeat customers. Some payments come by Cash, some by M-PESA, and some customers may pay later.
At the same time, the salon has costs: rent, electricity, water, products, towels, transport, staff commissions, repairs and marketing. Without records, the salon owner may not know whether the business is truly profitable.
A salon can look busy every day but still struggle if product costs, rent and staff payments are not tracked carefully.
What a salon should record
- Service income by Cash, M-PESA or Bank.
- Product sales.
- Salon supplies bought.
- Rent and utilities.
- Staff commissions or wages.
- Customer deposits and balances.
- Stock of products used or sold.
Example
- A salon earns KSh 12,000 in a day, but spends KSh 4,000 on supplies, KSh 2,000 on staff commission and has rent costs to cover.
- Without tracking those costs, the owner may overestimate profit.
