How to grow your payments app with mobile hairdressers
By SendPay Business · · 2 min read
Mobile hairdressers cut and style hair in clients' homes, in care homes and at weddings. Many are paid in cash at the door, and some chase relatives for payment when they visit older clients. A payments app that sends a link after each visit, or lets a family member pay for a parent's regular appointment, can win these hairdressers, and every client who pays sees your app.
Talk to mobile hairdressers
Ask local mobile hairdressers:
- How do clients pay you today?
- Do you carry change or a card reader?
- Do family members ever pay for a client's visits?
- What would make getting paid easier?
Send a link after each visit
A payment link sent after the appointment means no cash at the door and no need for a card reader.
Let families pay
A link sent to a son or daughter lets them pay for a parent's regular appointment from wherever they live.
Grow through care homes and weddings
Mobile hairdressers visit care homes and work with makeup artists at weddings. One hairdresser on your app can bring others to it.
