Nikhar

Android + web · owner, staff and customers

Queue, bookings and bills for your salon — on every phone and computer

Nikhar runs the front desk of salons, barbershops, beauty parlours and spas: a walk-in queue with tokens, bookings with reminders, GST bills with a UPI QR, every client's history, staff commission and salary, and the day's numbers — the same on the owner's phone, the stylist's phone and the reception computer.

Features

Everything the front desk of a salon needs

Made for Indian salons, from a two-chair barbershop to a multi-branch unisex salon and spa.

Walk-in queue

A token for every walk-in

Add a walk-in in two taps; Nikhar gives a token, the waiting time and the stylist. Start, finish or mark a no-show, and the next client is up — on every phone at once.

  • Queue display for a TV or tablet in the waiting area
  • Self check-in kiosk: clients add themselves with their phone number
  • Customers join the queue from their own phone and watch their turn

Bookings

Bookings that fill the empty slots

Book by service, stylist and time; Nikhar checks the working hours, days off and other bookings so nothing clashes. Send tomorrow's reminders on WhatsApp in one tap.

  • Online booking page with your salon code — no app needed
  • Waitlist: tell waiting clients when a slot opens
  • Repeat bookings, rooms and chairs, bridal and event plans
Bookings in Nikhar for the next 14 days with confirm, cancel and WhatsApp reminder, on the web and on an Android phone
Billing

GST bills with a UPI QR

Tap the services and products, pick who did each one, and take cash, UPI, card or part payment. The bill shows CGST and SGST and a UPI QR for your own UPI ID; share it on WhatsApp or print it.

  • Packages, memberships, wallet, coupons and gift vouchers at checkout
  • Loyalty points earned and redeemed on the bill
  • Void a bill and stock, packages and points correct themselves

And everything else a salon needs

Stock and suppliers

Products used per service come off stock by themselves; record purchases from suppliers and get low-stock alerts.

Branches

Several branches under one owner, with each phone set to its branch and reports by branch.

Packages and memberships

Sell "10 haircuts" packs and prepaid wallets; sessions and balance are used up on the bill.

Loyalty and reviews

Points on every paid bill, tiers, and a Google review request after the visit.

Portfolio

Before-and-after photos of your best work, shown to customers in their app.

Home visits

Services at the client's address, with a travel charge and an "on the way" message.

Expenses and cash

Rent, salaries, purchases and advances; the day's cash in and cash out.

Staff see what you allow

Choose whether staff see client phone numbers and everyone's queue, or only their own.

Online booking page

A booking link with your salon code that clients open in any browser; bookings land in your app.

Bridal and events

Quotes, trials, the big day and advances for weddings and parties, step by step.

Consultation records

Skin and hair notes, colour formulas, photos and a signed consent for every chemical service.

Only what you use

Switch off features your salon doesn't need — a barbershop never sees bridal events.

For the salon

The owner runs everything; each stylist signs in with their own Gmail and sees their day, their queue and their commission. The reception computer, the owner's phone and every stylist's phone show the same queue, live.

  • Owner invites staff by Gmail — no passwords to share
  • Works in any browser at app.nikhar.duttatech.in, and on Android
  • Queue display and check-in kiosk on a spare tablet
Open the web app

For your customers

Your clients use the same app to book a slot, join the queue from home and see their token, check their points, packages and dues, and get your offers — at every salon they visit.

  • Add your salon with its code, e.g. LAVA42
  • Book, reschedule or cancel without calling
  • Stylists shown as stations unless you choose to show names

FAQ

Questions salon owners ask

How much does Nikhar cost?

Nikhar is free to use at launch, with no limit on clients, bills or staff. If paid plans come later, the price will be shown in the app and on this website before anything is charged.

Which salons is it for?

Barbershops, women's salons, unisex salons, beauty parlours, makeup and bridal studios, spas, nail studios and home-service beauticians — from one chair to several branches.

Does it work on a computer?

Yes. Open app.nikhar.duttatech.in in Chrome, Edge or Safari on any computer, tablet or phone and sign in with the same Google account. It is the same salon as on your Android phone, updated live.

Do my staff need their own login?

Each staff member signs in with their own Gmail after you add it in Staff. You decide whether they see client phone numbers and the whole salon's queue, or only their own work. Remove a staff member and their access ends at once.

How do customers use it?

They sign in with Google, add your salon with its code, and can book, join the queue and see their points, packages and bills. They can also book on your booking page without the app.

Can I take payments?

Every bill can show a UPI QR for your own UPI ID, so clients pay you directly. Nikhar doesn't hold your money and takes no commission. Cash, card and part payments are recorded too.

Is my data safe?

Your salon's records are stored on our server in India and open only to you and the staff you add. We never sell data or show ads. You can delete your account at any time. See the Privacy Policy.

Kya ye app Hindi mein hai?

Haan. Nikhar Hindi, Bangla, Marathi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, Gujarati, Punjabi, Odia, Assamese aur English — 12 bhashaon mein hai. Har staff apni bhasha chun sakta hai.
