In the fall of 2026, a wave of Instagram posts flooded the industry with stylists and salons announcing they were going cash-only and ditching credit card payments altogether. It spread fast, it went viral and a lot of US-based stylists started jumping on board without realizing one very important thing: those posts weren't meant for them.

In this episode I'm breaking down what actually triggered this trend, how it applies to Australian businesses and not American ones, and what the real pros and cons of going cash only look like for a US stylist or salon owner. Before you make any changes to how you accept payments, listen to this one first and hear what's really going on!
