CashLayerBY ANSOAIIt's Sunday night.
You're still doing stylist math by hand.
Commission tiers. Cash tips. That one deduction that's different for two stylists. None of it lives in your booking software — so payday lives in your head. CashLayer sits on top of the software you already use and runs payday for you. In 90 seconds.
Your software doesn't do payday.
You do.
Booking systems are built for appointments and clients. The part that actually pays your people lives in spreadsheets, sticky notes, and your head. And when a number doesn't add up, you start the math over.
Commission tiers
Every stylist has a different deal — 40%, 45%, sliding scales after a threshold. Your booking software shows the revenue. The math is on you.
Cash
Cash tips and cash payouts don't exist in any software. They live in envelopes, sticky notes, and your head — until payday, when they all have to add up.
Custom deductions
The backbar fee that's different for two stylists. The product charge from three weeks ago. The one-off advance. Every exception is yours to remember.
Keep the software you have.
We sit on top.
Every other tool asks you to switch systems and retrain your team. CashLayer doesn't replace anything — it reads the week from the software you already run and does the one job none of them do: payday.
Three steps. Once a week.
We plug into your software
CashLayer connects to the booking system you already run and prefills every stylist's week — services, revenue, appointments. Nothing to migrate, nothing for your team to learn.
You review the week
Add the cash, confirm the numbers. Your commission tiers and custom deductions are already encoded — the exceptions are the system, not a surprise.
Payday does itself
Per-stylist breakdowns, cash and card separated, every deduction itemized. Accountant-ready. Ninety seconds, not two hours.
This is the whole job now.
The week arrives prefilled from your software. You add the cash, glance at the totals, done. Every number traceable, every deduction itemized.
Payday — week of Mar 2 – Mar 8| Stylist | Services | Cash tips | Deductions | Net pay |

Illustrative numbers — your tiers, your rules.
Right the first time. Provably.
Payroll done by hand means redoing the same stylist's math until it finally adds up — and hoping you caught the error, not made a new one. CashLayer computes straight from the week your software already tracked: no retyping, no transposed digits, nothing to redo.
And the stakes are real: one national salon chain paid $4.2 million in back wages over payroll math gone wrong. CashLayer itemizes every deduction and archives every week — every number on payday is one you can show, not one you have to defend.
The four questions every owner asks.
Do we have to switch booking software?
No. CashLayer sits on top of Vagaro, Square, Phorest, GlossGenius — whatever you run. Nothing moves, nothing gets migrated.
What does my team have to learn?
Nothing. Your stylists change nothing about how they work. Payday just arrives correct.
What about cash?
Cash is the whole point. Cash tips and cash payouts get their own line for every stylist, every week — tracked, not remembered.
How fast is setup?
One short call. We encode your commission tiers and deduction rules with you, once. After that, payday is 90 seconds a week.
