Salon POS & Checkout
End Checkout Lines. Make Client Goodbyes Fast.
Make every payment fast, accurate, and secure. Inspire by STX unifies POS, tips, inventory, and client records so you close tickets in seconds and keep the line moving.
Top U.S. Salons Trust Our Award-Winning Brand, Including:
Your Current Checkout Is Costing You Time and Tips
Long lines and clunky terminals frustrate clients and tie up staff. Manual key-ins and app-switching invite mistakes that ripple into inventory errors and missed rebooking.
Our solution: Inspire by STX replaces disconnected tools with a lightning-fast salon POS that supports cards, contactless, and mobile wallets, then syncs the sale to inventory and client profiles the moment a ticket closes. The results? Shorter lines, fewer errors, happier teams.
Why Inspire by STX: Built by salon pros, Inspire by STX’s salon software focuses on the real checkout flow, tip prompts, product adds, and rebook reminders, so you protect margins and finish visits on a high note.
Payments & Checkout
Faster Payments, Fewer Bottlenecks
Payment slowdowns grow with volume. As your books fill, seconds per ticket become hours per week. Our POS processes chip, tap, and mobile payments fast to keep your queue moving and your team focused on guests.
Card, contactless, and wallet transactions post instantly; receipts, tips, and rebook prompts appear in the same flow. Reduce key-ins and eliminate double entry while maintaining a clean, auditable record of every sale.
Security & Compliance
Protect Card Data, Build Client Trust
Security concerns spike when multiple apps and devices are in play. Our encrypted POS meets top compliance standards to safeguard card data and protect your reputation at the front desk.
Automated checks help prevent errors, while consistent, fast approvals reduce awkward declines that stall lines. Clients leave confident and more likely to return and refer.
Gratuities (Tippy Integration)
Tippy-Powered Gratuities, Paid in Real Time
Tipping friction costs stylists money and owners’ morale. Our Tippy integration makes gratuity prompts effortless at checkout and delivers tips to stylists in real time. No manual spreadsheets or end-of-day math.
With barriers removed, more guests tip, and tip more, boosting take-home pay and retention. Owners get visibility without handling cash.
Inventory Sync
Inventory That Updates the Second You Sell
Hand counts and delayed updates lead to over- or under-ordering. When a product is sold, stock adjusts immediately, protecting margins and eliminating guesswork.
Automated insights spotlight reorders and slow movers so you invest in what sells and free shelf space from what doesn’t.
Analytics & Reporting
Checkout-Level Analytics You Can Act On
Gut feel can’t replace clear data. See sales, service popularity, and product performance in real time, then price, promote, or staff with confidence.
Use these insights to time promos, right-size inventory, and lift average ticket—without adding complexity to the front desk.
Client Profiles + POS
One Flow from Service to Checkout
Disjointed tools mean slow lines and missed details. STX blends POS and client management, so add-ons, notes, and rebooks happen inside the same friendly screen.
Managers make fewer mistakes and receive faster training; guests get a VIP finish with accurate totals and personalized recommendations.
