How to grow your payments app with hair braiders and wig stylists

Hair braiders and wig stylists work from salons, their own homes or clients' homes, and a single appointment for box braids, locs, a weave or a wig install can take several hours. Because a no-show wastes a whole day, most take a deposit to book, often by bank transfer with a screenshot as proof. Many also sell hair, wigs and aftercare products, and find clients through Instagram and TikTok. A payments app that takes deposits by link, collects the balance at the end and sells wigs and hair online can win these stylists, and every client who pays sees your app.

Take deposits with a link
A deposit link in the booking message or on the stylist's social page holds the appointment, and the stylist sees straight away that it's paid, with no screenshots to check.
