Tips for Hairdressers

  • Issue a receipt immediately for every client transaction, whether paid by card or cash.
  • If renting chairs to independent stylists, invoice them weekly or monthly with clear terms.
  • Track staff hours on timesheets — the Hair and Beauty Award has specific penalty rate obligations.
  • Record product sales separately from services on invoices for cleaner GST and stock reporting.

How Hairdressers Typically Bill in Australia

Billing conventions vary by job type and client, but these patterns are common for hairdressers in Australia:

  • Client transactions are receipted immediately, whether paid by card or cash.
  • Chair rentals to independent stylists are invoiced weekly or monthly with clear terms and included amenities specified.
  • Product sales are recorded separately from services for cleaner GST and stock reporting.
  • Staff hours are logged on timesheets to correctly apply Hair and Beauty Award penalty rates.

Hairdressing services and retail product sales are both taxable supplies, so salons register for GST once turnover reaches $75,000 and must include an ABN on every tax invoice, alongside Hair and Beauty Award pay obligations for staff.

Compliance Notes

  • ABN is required on all tax invoices.
  • GST registration is mandatory at $75,000 turnover.
  • Fair Work obligations under the Hair and Beauty Industry Award 2020 apply to employees.
  • Safe Work Australia requirements apply to chemical handling (e.g., hair dye, peroxide).

Frequently asked questions

How should a salon owner invoice a chair renter?
Issue a tax invoice to the chair renter specifying the rental period, weekly or monthly rate, and any included amenities (product use, towels, utilities). The renter should provide their own ABN and insurance.
What pay rates apply to hairdressing employees?
The Hair and Beauty Industry Award 2020 sets minimum pay rates based on classification level. Penalties apply for evenings (after 7 pm), Saturdays, Sundays, and public holidays. Check the Fair Work pay calculator for current rates.
Does a hairdresser need to charge GST on services?
Yes. Hairdressing is a taxable supply. If your salon turnover exceeds $75,000 you must register for GST and include it on all invoices and receipts. Product retail sales are also subject to GST.
