How to grow your payments app with barbers and salons
By SendPay Business · · 2 min read
Barbers and salons serve a steady stream of customers, often paid in cash, and lose income when people book and do not turn up. A simple way to take payments and deposits can make a real difference to their day.
Learn how they work
Ask a few barbers and salon owners:
- How do customers pay today?
- How often do people book and not turn up?
- Do they rent a chair or run the whole shop?
- How do they keep track of what they earned?
Help with deposits
A payment link for a small deposit when someone books can cut no-shows. Let the owner decide the amount and the rules.
Make paying at the chair quick
A QR code on the mirror or counter lets customers pay in seconds, and tips can be added easily.
Grow shop by shop
Barbers and stylists often know others in the trade. One happy shop owner can introduce you to many more, and every customer sees your app.
