Beauty Success Stories

Naomi, the owner of Bare Beauty House in Manly, NSW, realised she wasn’t receiving the customer support she needed from her EFTPOS provider. It was then she knew making some changes to her business costs would be as beautiful as her clients leaving her salon.

When Kelly, the owner of The Skin Hub, made the switch to Smartpay, the independent payment specialist, the impact was immediate. "In the first month alone, we saved $500 by going with Smartpay's solution - that's about $6000 a year, which is a big boost when all your other costs are going up."

The right treatment makes all the difference. That's true for skin, and it's true for your business's bottom line. For Marissa, the owner of Ella Baché Armidale, changing her EFTPOS regimen and switching to Smartpay Zero Cost EFTPOS has made a big difference to her cash flow.

Just as people care about their skin, so should businesses care about their payment solution. For Eclipse the Essential Spa, a recent change to Smartpay's Zero Cost EFTPOS solution rewarded the business with a $10K annual savings.

Changing your beauty regime can take years off your appearance. And, changing your payments solution? That can take thousands off your expenses. For this beauty salon, the crunch time for change came with the arrival of Covid.

"It's a perfect EFTPOS solution for small businesses. It's all automatic, so my staff don't need to think about the numbers. They just continue to look after your customers' nails. Also, the terminal is mobile. That's great because now some customers can pay while in their chair. That's really convenient."

“We signed up to the banks in 2011 when we were just a small at-home business; however, as we started to grow, so did our EFTPOS fees. Not only was it costly, but it also became hard to manage, with different fee thresholds and penalties. Reconciling accounts was becoming more and more time-consuming.”
