If you own or manage a beauty salon, you already know the importance of steady revenue and customer satisfaction. But what if you could increase your profits without raising service prices or selling more products?
That’s where installing an ATM comes in.
Salons are high-traffic, service-driven environments—ideal for cash-based upsells, tipping, and walk-ins. With an ATM in your beauty salon, you can tap into a new stream of passive income and make your business even more convenient for customers.
Here’s how an on-site ATM can enhance your salon’s profitability.
1. Generate Passive Income Automatically
Each time someone uses your ATM, they pay a small fee—usually between $2.50 and $3.50. As the salon owner, you can collect all or a portion of that fee.
Example:
8 transactions per day x $3 = $24/day
25 working days/month = $600 passive income/month
That’s money earned just by having the machine on-site—no extra work needed.
2. Encourage Tipping and Extra Spending
Having cash on hand makes it easier for clients to tip generously, especially in full-service salons where stylists, colorists, or estheticians work independently.
It also makes last-minute product purchases easier for cash-preferred customers—no need to run out looking for a nearby ATM.
3. Reduce Card Processing Fees
Each card swipe costs you money—usually 2–4% in fees. Over time, those fees eat into your profit margins. By giving customers easy access to cash, you can increase cash transactions and reduce processing expenses.
4. Keep Revenue Inside the Salon
When a customer has to leave to find an ATM, there’s a chance they don’t return—or they spend their cash elsewhere. An in-house ATM solves that problem and keeps their money inside your business.
5. Improve Customer Convenience
Clients appreciate convenience. An in-salon ATM helps walk-ins or appointment holders who didn’t plan ahead with enough cash. You save them the trouble—and earn passive income in the process.
