Salon POS system for hair and beauty salons

Lookster Pro is the POS system that will sit next to your calendar: checkout with Tap to Pay, iDEAL QR or a payment link, online prepayment and your daily close in the same app as your bookings. Pro is already running at a select number of salons and will soon be available to everyone. Start free with Essentials today: calendar, bookings, client card and revenue insight. In the meantime you simply take payments with your own card reader; Lookster handles the calendar, bookings and clients.

What the checkout in Lookster Pro will do

  • Card payments with Tap to Pay

    Clients hold their card or phone against your device. No separate card terminal needed.

  • iDEAL QR and payment link

    Show a QR code at the desk or send a payment link. The payment is linked to the appointment automatically.

  • Online prepayment

    Ask for a deposit or the full amount when booking. That keeps no-shows low for long or expensive treatments.

  • Invoices, daily close and refunds

    Every payment gets an invoice, you close the day with one overview and refund from the same appointment.

  • Inventory and gift cards

    Track which products you sell and sell gift cards clients redeem at checkout.

  • Checkout and calendar in one app

    You check out from the appointment itself, so revenue per staff member and per treatment is right without double entry.

What you already get today with Essentials

  • Online calendar and 24/7 online bookings through your own link, your salon page and the client app
  • Client card with appointment history, notes and photos per appointment
  • Revenue, appointments and occupancy per staff member and per period
  • One click to Excel or CSV for your accountant
  • Reminders by email and push, reviews from verified clients

What are the rules for a POS system in the Netherlands?

The Netherlands has no mandatory certification for cash registers, but you must keep your records, including sales data, for seven years for the Belastingdienst (Dutch tax authority). So choose software that can export revenue per day. With Essentials you put revenue and appointments into Excel or CSV in one click, ready for your accountant.
