Choose a certified management software for your hair salon

As of January 1, 2018, hair salons must be equipped with certified cash register software. There are two ways to be certified, either by a certifier - in the case of hair salons, this is AFNOR or LNE - or by certification from the publisher.

We advise you to choose cash register software certified by a certifier such as AFNOR and LNE. These are state-recognized associations and therefore promise the highest level of security for hair salon managers. If the software you choose is certified by AFNOR or LNE, you can be sure you won't be ripped off!

The management software Wavy is certified by the AFNOR with the NF525. With Wavy, you can be sure that you will not be ripped off!

Choose a management software that has many functionalities

Management software designed to rip you off offers only a few features for your salon. Moreover, these features are not necessarily specific to the hairdressing industry.

We therefore advise you to choose a cash register software that offers you many functionalities that really meet the needs of your hair salon. Nevertheless, be careful to pay attention to the additional costs presented by a company, if you have any doubts you can always ask for information on the forums.
