▶ Open the nirvaga app ↗
Runs in your browser in demo mode — your data stays on your device. No sign-up wall.
02
Set up your salon
Go to The setup screen that appears right after sign-up
Name your salon and choose your country. From that one choice, nirvaga sets your currency, tax system (GST or VAT), the tax-ID it asks for, and how invoices are numbered.
03
Complete your salon profile
Go to Sidebar → Salon Profile (the dashboard also nudges you)
Add your address, state, GSTIN, phone and logo. These print on every invoice, so it’s worth doing once, first.
04
Review your price list
Go to Sidebar → Services
A starter menu is already loaded. Edit prices, tax rate and SAC codes, hide what you don’t offer, or add your own services.
05
Add your team
Go to Sidebar → Staff
Add each stylist with a commission %. Later you’ll see revenue billed and commission earned per person — automatically.
06
Book an appointment
Go to Sidebar → Appointments → Book (or tap an empty slot)
Enter the customer, pick the services, and save. When they’re done, one tap turns the booking into a bill with everything pre-filled.
07
Create your first bill
Go to Sidebar → New Invoice
Enter the customer, then tap services onto the bill. CGST/SGST or VAT is worked out live. Set payment, then Save.
08
Print or share the invoice
Go to Opens automatically after you save
You get a proper tax invoice — tax IDs, SAC, rate-wise summary, amount in words. Hit Print / Save as PDF to hand it over.
09
Track your expenses
Go to Sidebar → Expenses → Add expense
Log rent, stock, salaries and utilities, with GST input credit tracked per entry — so your profit and returns are the real numbers.
10
Read your reports
Go to Sidebar → Reports
Switch between Staff sales, a GST return summary and a Profit view. Export any of them to CSV for your accountant.
11
Control who sees what
Go to Sidebar → Team & access
Set each person’s role — Owner, Manager, Cashier or Stylist — with permissions you control, and invite teammates by email.
12
Sign in any time
Go to The sign-in screen
Your salon and everything in it are remembered. Sign back in with your email and pick up exactly where you left off.
Using it day to day

Close up · evening
Reconcile

Weekly / monthly
Report & file
Run Reports — staff sales, the GST return summary and profit — and export CSVs for your accountant at return time.
