How to grow your payments app with lash and brow technicians
By SendPay Business · · 2 min read
Lash and brow technicians offer lash extensions, lash lifts, brow lamination, tints and shaping, often from a home studio, a rented room in a salon or clients' homes. Clients come back every few weeks for infills, so a technician's diary is full of regulars, and a single no-show can cost an hour or more of paid time. Many also run paid training courses for new technicians. A payments app that takes a deposit when a slot is booked, lets clients pay the balance by tapping a link or a phone, and sells training places by link can win these technicians, and every client who pays sees your app.
Talk to lash and brow technicians
Ask local lash and brow technicians:
- How do clients book and pay a deposit today?
- How often do clients not turn up, and what does it cost you?
- How do clients pay the balance after the appointment?
- Do you run training courses, and how do students pay?
Take a deposit with every booking
A deposit link sent when a slot is booked cuts no-shows, and the deposit comes off the price on the day.
Make paying quick after the appointment
Letting clients pay the balance by link or by tapping a card on the technician's phone means no cash to find and no awkward wait at the end.
Grow through beauty professionals
Lash and brow technicians know nail technicians, makeup artists and hairdressers, and many train newcomers. One technician on your app can introduce many others.
