GST accounting, built for salon & spa
A salon bills services and sells retail products all day. LekhaPro invoices services with the correct SAC code, tracks product stock, and keeps a full customer profile so your GST and margins stay clear across branches.
What gets in the way today
Service and product billing get muddled
A haircut is a service and a shampoo is a product, and they carry different GST treatment. Mixing them on one bill without the right codes causes filing errors.
Repeat clients are just names in a book
Without a proper client record, you cannot see spend history, tags or preferences at the counter. Customer detail is lost between visits.
Multi-branch numbers do not add up
Running more than one outlet makes it hard to see sales, expenses and GST cleanly. Each branch should have its own tidy books.
How LekhaPro fits your work
Every capability below is built in — offline-first, GST-correct by construction, and posted to a real double-entry ledger.
Service invoices with SAC codes
Bill treatments and packages with the correct SAC code and GST rate, on clean templates including 80mm thermal receipts.
Receipts with UPI pay-by-QR
Print or share a receipt and show a UPI QR so clients pay on the spot from any UPI app.
Retail product sales and stock
Sell shampoos, colours and care products with barcode scan-to-add, live stock and low-stock alerts alongside your services.
Customer 360 profiles
Keep a unified party master with custom fields, tags and smart alerts so every client history and preference is one click away.
Expenses and GST returns
Track rent, supplies and salaries with input GST, watch the liability dashboard, and export GSTR-1 and 3B when it is time to file.
Multi-branch, your way
Run each outlet as its own company, or use the Cloud edition to bill and review from any device.

Questions salon & spa ask
Can I bill services and retail products on the same receipt?
Yes. Services carry SAC codes and products carry HSN, and both can sit on one GST bill with the correct rate applied to each line.
Is there a dedicated appointment booking module?
No. LekhaPro is a general GST billing and accounting suite, not a booking app. It covers invoicing, receipts, stock, customer profiles and GST returns rather than scheduling.
Can I manage more than one branch?
Yes. Run each outlet as a separate company, or use the Cloud edition to work across outlets from any device.
Which edition should a salon & spa business choose?
The Cloud edition. Retail POS is a Cloud Suite application, so the depth described on this page is not in the Desktop edition. The Desktop edition still runs your books, GST and stock offline — it just does not carry this pack.
What does LekhaPro give a salon & spa business specifically?
Service bills with the right SAC code, retail product sales, and a clean customer and GST picture across every chair and branch. Concretely: service invoices with SAC codes, receipts with UPI pay-by-QR, retail product sales and stock and customer 360 profiles — every one of them a working screen described in full further up this page, not a roadmap item.
What problems does this actually solve?
The ones this trade runs into rather than the ones that demo well: service and product billing get muddled, repeat clients are just names in a book and multi-branch numbers do not add up. Each is set out with its cause above, because a business recognising its own problem in writing is worth more than a feature list it has to translate.
What does a normal day look like once it is running?
In order: ring up the visit as a service invoice with the right SAC code, adding retail products by barcode., print or share the receipt and show a UPI QR for instant payment., log the client against the party master with tags and notes for next time. and record daily expenses with input GST so margins stay honest.. It is one sequence in one application, which is the point — the alternative is the same day spread over a billing tool, a spreadsheet and an accountant's inbox.
Is GST handled correctly for this trade?
Yes, and by construction rather than at filing time. CGST/SGST and IGST are split from HSN or SAC and place of supply as each document is raised, the sale posts to a real ledger, and GSTR-1, 3B and 2B reconciliation come off those same books — so the return matches the accounts because it was never a separate exercise.
Can I move across from what I use today?
Masters and opening balances come across; transaction history does not. There is no automated Tally import yet — it is on the roadmap, and we would rather say so than oversell it. You start clean on a date you choose and keep the old system as a read-only archive, which is why most businesses switch at the start of a financial year or quarter.
What happens when the internet goes down?
This pack is Cloud, so it needs a connection. That is a real constraint and worth weighing: if trading has to continue through an outage, the Desktop edition runs the books, billing and stock entirely offline — without the pack-specific screens on this page.
