Hair Salon Invoice Template

List each service (cut, color, treatment) and any retail products on separate lines, note the stylist, and apply sales tax where it’s due. The generator pre-fills cut, color and retail lines — edit them, turn on sales tax for products, and download a PDF.

Retail products you sell are almost always taxable; services like haircuts are taxed in some states and not others. Separate products from services on the invoice, turn the sales-tax toggle on for the taxable portion, and check your state’s treatment of salon services.

They are three stages of one transaction. An estimate (or quote) shows an expected price before the work and is sent to win or confirm the job. An invoice requests payment after the work is done and shows the amount due. A receipt confirms that a payment was made and is given afterward as proof. A purchase order is a fourth document: the buyer issues it to formally request goods at an agreed price. Ziffaro has a free generator for each, so you can use the right document at each step.

Yes. State both clearly in the invoice notes or terms before the work starts, not after. For larger jobs, billing a 30 to 50 percent deposit up front protects your cash flow. A late fee, often around 1 to 1.5 percent per month where your state allows it, gives clients a clear reason to pay on time; write the policy on the invoice so it is not a surprise. Late-fee limits vary by state, so confirm what is permitted where you operate.

Yes. The IRS expects self-employed people and small businesses to keep records that support the income and deductions on their tax return, and invoices are the main record of money you earned. Save a PDF of every invoice for your own files. If a business client pays you $600 or more in a year you may also receive a Form 1099-NEC, and your invoices are what you reconcile it against. This is general information, not tax advice — check with a CPA for your situation.

This generator makes a single PDF invoice at a time, which covers most one-off and occasional billing. You can reuse it as a template for a recurring client by saving your business details (they are stored locally) and changing the line items each time, or use it to produce a proforma invoice by labeling it as preliminary in the notes. If you bill on a fixed schedule and want automatic recurring invoices, reminders and online card payments, dedicated invoicing software is the better fit.

Fill in your business details, your client’s details, an invoice number and date, then add a line item for each product or service with a quantity and rate. The amounts and total update as you type. Turn on sales tax if you collect it, add any notes, then click Download PDF. The whole thing takes a couple of minutes and needs no signup.

A complete invoice has your business name and contact info, your client’s name and address, a unique invoice number, the invoice date and due date, an itemized list of what you’re billing with quantities and rates, the subtotal, any sales tax, the total due, and how to pay you. This generator includes fields for all of these, so nothing important gets left off.

Download the invoice as a PDF here, then email it to your client as an attachment with a short note and the amount and due date in the subject line. A PDF is the standard format because it looks the same on every device and can’t be edited by accident. Keep a copy for your own records.

It depends on what you sell and where. Many services aren’t taxable, while physical goods usually are, and rates vary by state and even city. Leave the sales-tax toggle off if you don’t collect it; turn it on and enter your rate if you do. When you’re unsure whether a sale is taxable, check your state’s rules or ask a CPA.

Yes — it’s completely free with no account, no watermark and no limit on how many invoices you create. Everything runs in your browser, so your client and pricing details never leave your device, and your own business info is saved locally so you don’t retype it next time.
