How to grow your payments app with hair and beauty training academies

Hair and beauty training academies teach lash extensions, nails, brows, barbering, makeup and other skills, usually in one-day or weekend courses, sometimes with online study before a practical day. Students often pay a deposit to book, spread the rest over a few weeks and buy a starter kit. Many academies are run by working technicians who teach alongside their own clients. A payments app that takes a course deposit by link, collects instalments on set dates and sells kits can win these academies, and every student who pays sees your app, often just as they start their own beauty business.

Collect instalments and kit payments

Instalments collected automatically on set dates make a course easier to afford, and a kit link means the kit is paid for before the practical day.
