Your accountant
Necessary, but seven weeks late.
Tells you what March looked like — in May. Built for filings, not for tonight's roster decision.
Per month€120 – €280
Your booker says 18 services done. Doesn't say what stayed after color, products, the slice of rent. Type tonight's gross, tap your variable costs, let nouz handle the fixed slice — and see today's EBIT before the last broom hits the floor.

Booker says 18 services done. Three colors, four cuts, two highlights, a treatment, eight walk-in trims. Tip jar shows ~€89.
Were any of the chairs idle today? Did the color cost on Tuesday's bleach job eat the entire cut?
You don't know. Chiara was scheduled 10–18 today — there's a feeling she had two open hours that nobody booked. The tube prices on Olaplex went up 8% last month; nobody told you. Retail attach was — you check your phone — four products on eighteen clients. That's low and you know it.
You'll find out properly in seven weeks, when your accountant lands the quarterly. By then the idle hours have repeated nine more times. By then the idle hours have repeated nine more times. The Olaplex bleed is up to €240. You haven't pushed retail since February.
You sweep up. The numbers you needed to plan next week's roster were in the booker the whole time. Just not in a form you could read after an 11-hour Saturday.
For a 3-chair salon doing around €18k/month, here's where margin quietly leaves the chair. Each leak is one small thing. Each one is invisible until the accountant lands.
Two-hour gaps on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons that you'd catch in the week-on-week view on nouz. ~€18/hour base × 6 idle hours/week × 13 weeks ÷ realistic occupancy — about €420 you paid for nothing.
Color supplier raised wholesale 8%. Service price didn't move. Margin on every bleach + tone dropped 6 points before the next quarterly. Visible in week one when you log the new supplier invoice into nouz.
You're leaving roughly €320/month on the table because nobody's prompting the retail upsell at the chair. One nudge per week and you're at 8% — that's €960/quarter back in the till.
Tuesdays run thin week after week. You'd catch it in the week-on-week view on nouz and adjust the deposit policy or promo for weekday slots. Smaller window = ~€280/qtr back in chair revenue.
— Illustrative figures, modelled from real salon-vertical patterns. Your version is probably worse on at least one row. nouz catches each of these the same week it happens.
You wipe the last station. The diffuser's cooling. The blinds are down.
Your phone is on the reception desk. It already says €462,40. Today's EBIT — net of color, products, stylists' wages + commission, and a fair slice of rent. No spreadsheet. No "I'll look at it tomorrow." No "let me ask the accountant."
You walk home knowing what today earned. Tuesday's a question with an answer. Saturday's roster is built on what last Saturday actually did. Your accountant still files the books — but you stopped waiting on her to find out how the salon is doing.
That's the whole thing.
nouz is a daily P&L tracker, built for owner-stylists. You type tonight's gross from the till in ten seconds, tap variable costs as the day happens — color, products, stylists' wages — and your big fixed costs are already pro-rated into the day's slice. EBIT shows before the last broom hits the floor.
Not a replacement for your accountant — keep her. A replacement for the silence between her reports. The numbers a salon actually runs on: today's revenue, today's variable costs, today's slice of rent — and one number on top: did today pay.
Tonight's gross from the till — typed in once, in 10 seconds. Services and retail in one number, or split if you want both tracked. VAT and card fees handled.
Color tubes, the wax delivery, today's wages — tap them as you go, or log the lot at close-out. Categories live in your settings.
What stayed, after revenue minus expenses minus today's slice of your fixed costs. The one number on top — did today pay.
Month-to-date gross on top. Your week, day by day. Revenue, expenses, EBIT — all settled. Phone-sized, but you'll glance at the laptop on Sunday for the weekly view.

Five honest alternatives. They all do something useful. None of them gives you today's EBIT, tonight. That's the gap nouz fills.
Your accountant still files your books. nouz fills the silence between her reports.
An accountant tells you what March looked like — in May. nouz tells you what Saturday looked like — on Saturday. Different jobs, both needed. She'll thank you for the cleaner data.

You log wages + commission as an expense each day (or week) — five seconds, takes one entry per stylist. Whatever rule you run — flat %, tiered, base + commission, booth rental — calculate it the way you already do and drop the number in. nouz folds it into today's EBIT.
Per-stylist profitability views aren't a feature yet. For now: the wages line is the wages line.
No. At close-out you type tonight's gross from the till — ten seconds, one screen. Services and retail in one number, or split if you want them tracked separately. VAT and card-fee handling built in.

Two honest ways. Lump-sum: at close-out, type today's color + products spend as one expense entry under your Color & Products category. Five seconds.
Invoice-by-invoice: log each supplier invoice into Expenses on the day it arrives. Both work. Most salons start lump-sum and tighten to per-invoice when they want sharper margin reads.
