For nail salons
Gel, dip, and acrylic clients come back every two or three weeks. A haircut punch card does not match that calendar, and a free full set often costs more than the fills were worth. Clients add your card to Apple Wallet or Google Wallet. Staff scan the QR when they pay. No customer app and no account.
Hair and barber shops run on a different rhythm. That page is salons and barbers.
Gel and dip often need a fill in two or three weeks. Acrylic has its own cycle. Pedicures are less frequent. One “come back in six weeks” rule is a hair rule.
The set is the high-ticket service. Giving one away after a handful of fills can wipe out the margin those visits earned. A smaller perk is easier to repeat.
Friends and bridal parties lose the card. A gift card with the balance written on the back starts the same argument at the next visit: how much is left?
A QR at the desk. Apple Wallet or Google Wallet. They can do it while they pay. No app install.
Front desk or the tech opens PointsCard, scans the QR, and awards the visit or uses one prepaid fill.
The pass shows progress toward the reward, or how many prepaid fills remain.
One paid visit earns one credit. Say that at every checkout. If gel, acrylic, and pedicures need different rewards, pick the service you do most and build the program around that, instead of five rules nobody remembers.
Selling fills up front? Load them as prepaid packages. Selling a birthday card? Use digital gift cards on the same pass.
Examples you can set up, not existing PointsCard customers.
Gel or dip
A service you already do, priced well below a new set. The client still pays for the fill.
Acrylic
A fixed dollar amount is easy to explain. It does not give away the set.
Regular client
They pay you up front. You load 4 credits. Each scan uses one, so nobody is guessing how many fills are left.
A friend at the next chair
When the new client’s first service is scanned, you can grant the reward you set. See refer a friend.
Rough share of spend when a perk is given after a set number of fills.
No. They add your card to Apple Wallet or Google Wallet once. At checkout they show the QR and staff scan it. There is no customer account and no PointsCard customer app.
Yes. The client pays you the way you already take payment. You load a set number of fill credits on the wallet pass. Each checkout scan uses one credit, and the remaining count stays on the pass.
Usually no. A free full set can cost more than several fills. Examples that are easier to afford include complimentary nail art, a paraffin treatment, or a dollar amount off the next fill. You choose the reward.
Yes. Gift credit and visit rewards can sit on one Apple Wallet or Google Wallet pass. Staff still scan one QR at checkout.
No. Keep the booking tool you already use. PointsCard is the loyalty card, the fill-pack balance, and the gift credit your desk scans.
