Whether you've just hired your first assistant or you're managing a 10-stylist team, Miali helps you keep track of who's doing what—and who's getting paid.
This guide will show you how to set up your staff for success, and how to stay organized as you scale.
Starting Simple: Add Your Team
- Dashboard → Staff: Click "Add Staff Member."
- Profiles: Upload a professional photo for each person! (Remember: profiles with photos get 3x more bookings).
- Specialties: List exactly what each stylist excels at (e.g., "Color Expert," "Fades," "Dreadlocks"). This helps clients choose the right artist.
Going Pro: Commission Tracking
Calculating payouts shouldn't take you all Sunday evening. Miali automates the math for you.
- Set Rates: For each staff member, set their commission percentage (e.g., 60% for a senior stylist, 40% for a junior).
- Automated Calculations: When a service is completed and payment is recorded, Miali automatically calculates the split.
- Reporting: Visit your dashboard to see total revenue by staff member. It’s transparent, simple, and ends the "did I get paid for that?" conversation forever.
For Large Salons: Coordination and Availability
With multiple staff members, managing the calendar can be tricky. Miali solves this with:
- Individual Schedules: Each staff member can have their own opening hours.
- Double Booking Protection: Our system ensures no two clients book the same stylist at the same time, even if they're using the same service window.
- Client Preference: Let your clients choose their favorite stylist easily on your booking page.
Pro Tips for Team Success
- Uniform Visuals: Encourage all staff to use a similar style of photo for their profiles. It makes your salon brand look unified and professional.
- Clear Roles: Use the "Role" field to define seniority or specialties clearly.
- Permissions: As the owner, you maintain full control of the "Master Calendar," but you can give your staff access to their own specific view.
Your team is your greatest asset. Miali helps you manage them without the headache.
