How a Frisco salon stopped losing $7,700 a year in fees.

A local hair salon had been with the same processor for six years, never questioning the statement. A free audit told a different story.

The challenge

Tiered pricing and a stack of small fees pushed their effective rate to 3.4%. No one had ever explained the line items.

What we did

We audited one statement, moved them to transparent bank-direct pricing, swapped in modern tap terminals, and trained the front desk, all in one afternoon.
