What to put on a hairdresser invoice
Common lines on a hairdresser's invoice include:
- Services — cut, colour, styling
- Products supplied or on-charged
- Chair rental (if you invoice the salon)
- Mobile / call-out fee
- Bridal or event package
- Deposit already paid
Plus the essentials every Australian invoice needs: your business name and ABN, the client's details, a unique invoice number and dates, the total (with 10% GST if you're registered), and your payment details. See how to write an invoice and the tax invoice requirements.
A tip for hairdressers
If you rent a chair, you may be invoicing the salon rather than clients — either way the process is the same. Booking deposits for bridal and event work protect you against no-shows; record them against the final invoice.
GST and your ABN
GST registration depends on your turnover and the work you do. For most businesses, the ATO registration threshold is $75,000 in current or projected annual GST turnover; ride-sourcing has a different rule. If you are GST-registered and the supply is taxable, show GST and use “Tax Invoice”. If you are not registered, use “Invoice” and do not charge GST. See our GST guide and ABN guide.

| Travel to venue | 1 | $35.00 | $35.00 |

| Total including GST | $302.50 | ||
Make this useful for your client: List the appointment date and service. If a deposit was already paid, enter it as amount paid so the PDF shows only the balance due. If you are not registered for GST, use “Invoice”, set GST to zero, and remove the GST line. Check the ATO tax invoice requirements before sending a tax invoice.
