Running a successful hair salon in London requires more than creative styling and loyal clients — it also means staying on top of your finances. From payroll for stylists to VAT returns and daily bookkeeping, accounting can become overwhelming for salon owners.
At AMAccountex Ltd, based at 95 Mortimer Street, W1W 7GB, we specialise in helping hair salons across Fitzrovia, Marylebone, and Central London manage their accounts, taxes, and payroll with ease.
Hair salons have unique financial needs, including:
Having a professional accountant ensures your salon stays compliant while maximising profits.
Bookkeeping is at the heart of every profitable salon. Key tips include:
Record daily client sales and payments
Track product purchases (shampoo, colours, styling tools)
Monitor cash flow weekly
Use digital accounting software to stay organised
If you own or co-own a salon, you may need to file a Self-Assessment tax return. Essential steps:
Register with HMRC if self-employed
Report all salon-related income (services + product sales)
Claim allowable expenses like staff training and equipment
File online before 31 January each year
At AMAccountex Ltd, we provide tailored services for hair salons, including:
Payroll & PAYE management
VAT returns & tax compliance

Once your salon’s turnover exceeds £90,000, VAT registration becomes mandatory. We help with:
Choosing the right VAT scheme (Flat Rate or Standard)
Preparing and submitting VAT returns

Reducing admin stress so you can focus on clients
Salon owners can reduce tax bills by:
Claiming deductions for staff training courses

Deducting rent, bills, and marketing expenses
Claiming travel costs if you attend events or training
Smart financial planning helps your salon grow steadily:
Budget for slow months in client bookings

Managing a hair salon is demanding, but with the right financial support, you can focus on your clients while your accounts stay in order.
