A salon ticket book is a pad of numbered slips: the technician writes the services on a slip that goes to the front desk, and the matching stub stays in the book as a record. M1 Nail & Beauty Supply stocks ticket books from Berkeley and MNBS, in packs of 10 books or by the case.
Types of ticket books
| Type | Best for | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| Berkeley ticket book | 100 numbered slips per book, each with a matching stub and a perforated tear-off line; slips are 5.75" x 2.5". | Berkeley, 10 packs, Berkeley, case of 40 packs |
| Salon ticket book | The same everyday job at the station and the front desk, in a pack of 10 or a case of 30 packs. | Salon Ticket Book, 10 packs, Salon Ticket Book, case of 30 packs |
How to choose ticket books
- Buy by the case if you go through them fast. Both ticket books come in a pack of 10 or a full case, so a busy salon can stock up once.
- Keep the stubs. The matching stub keeps a record of every ticket for end-of-day totals and for checking a sale later.
- One book per technician. Giving each technician their own book makes it simple to total services per person at the end of the day.

Ticket book FAQ
How do nail salons use ticket books?
The technician writes the client's services on a slip at the station, tears it off and hands it over with the client, so the front desk knows what to charge. The stub left in the book shows the ticket number and services, which helps match payments and total each technician's work at closing.
How many slips are in a ticket book?
Each Berkeley ticket book holds 100 slips numbered 1 to 100, each with a matching stub. For the Salon Ticket Book packs, ask us in store or by phone before you order if the slip count matters for your numbering.
Do I still need ticket books if I use a POS system?
Many salons keep them. The paper ticket travels with the client from the station to the desk, so nothing is missed when the desk is busy, and the stubs give you a written backup if a sale needs checking later.
