Quick answer
A beauty therapist invoice in Australia should include your business details (including ABN), an invoice number, dates, a clear description of the treatments or package, GST (if registered — many small salons aren’t), and payment terms.

Packages and regular clients
Treatment packages and regular appointments are perfect for recurring invoices — bill a course of treatments on a set schedule, or invoice each visit and mark it paid as a receipt. Keep retail product sales as a separate line so your service and product income is easy to read at tax time.
Do beauty therapists need to charge GST?
Only if turnover reaches $75,000 in a 12-month period. Many small or home-based salons are under that and don’t register — in which case you issue a plain “Invoice” with no GST. See our guide to invoicing when you’re not GST-registered.
Note: This is general information and not tax advice.
Features beauty therapists tend to use most
- Recurring invoices (Pro): automate packages and regular appointments.
- Mark as paid: turn an invoice into a receipt on the day.
- Add expenses: track products and consumables so your margin is clear.
- Custom domain (Pro+): send from your own salon email.
