How to grow your payments app with nail and beauty technicians
By SendPay Business · · 2 min read
Nail and beauty technicians often work alone, from a small studio, a rented chair in a salon or clients' homes. A missed appointment is lost income, and many ask for a deposit to hold a booking. A payments app that takes deposits by link and payment at the end of the appointment can win these technicians, and every client who pays sees your app.
Talk to technicians
Ask local nail and beauty technicians:
- How do clients pay you today?
- How often do clients miss appointments without notice?
- Do you take a deposit to hold a booking, and how?
- What would make getting paid easier?
Take deposits by link
A payment link sent with the booking lets the client pay a small deposit, which cuts no-shows and protects the technician's time.
Pay at the end by QR code
A QR code at the desk or on the technician's phone lets the client pay the balance in seconds, at the studio or at home.
Grow through clients and salons
Clients recommend their technician to friends, and technicians who rent chairs share salons with others. One technician on your app can bring you many more.
