St. Petersburg, Florida
The money app for stylists in St. Petersburg
MoneyPOP is built for independent beauty and service pros — hairstylists, barbers, estheticians, nail techs, lash and brow artists — who run the business from their own chair. Track what each client actually pays you, set money aside for taxes, and price your services so they cover rent, product, and your time.
Working in St. Petersburg: the money side
St. Pete runs on independents — salon suites downtown, in the Grand Central District, and out toward the beaches. Most of the pros here are their own front desk, bookkeeper, and marketing team.
Florida has no personal state income tax, which is one of the best things about being self-employed here — but you still owe federal income tax and self-employment tax, usually quarterly. Retail product sales are also subject to Florida sales tax plus your county surtax, so check your county rate and confirm the details with your EA or CPA.
