For hair salons and barbershops
The chair is full, then the six-week cut turns into nine. Color clients stretch toner visits. Walk-ins take the slot your regulars meant to book. Clients add your card to Apple Wallet or Google Wallet. Front desk scans the QR. No customer app and no login at the mirror.
Independent salons, booth renters, barbershops, and small multi-chair shops. Fills and sets are a different visit: see nail salon loyalty.
They love the cut in the chair. By the time they remember to book, someone else filled Thursday at 5.
Half your regulars forgot the card. Front desk does not want to argue about stamp nine versus ten.
Cut clients every six weeks. Gloss and toner on another loop. One generic “visit” rule rarely fits both.
You do not need a complicated tier system. You need something clients actually carry—and staff can hit in the ten seconds before the next blow-dry starts.
Apple Wallet or Google Wallet. Reception can show a join QR while they pay.
Stylist or front desk opens PointsCard Loyalty Program, scans their QR, awards the visit.
Balance on the pass. Optional review link while they still have that fresh-cut feeling.
Selling a color package? Load prepaid credits on the same pass—see our prepaid packages guide.
Examples you can set up, not existing PointsCard customers. Pick one rule and say it out loud at every checkout.
Barbershop
Keeps the reward in your service mix instead of giving away a full cut every time.
Walk-in heavy shop
Simple dollar credit. Easy for clients to understand when they glance at the pass.
Color salon
Upsell retention without discounting the color itself—think gloss, mask, or bond builder.
Booth renter
When their friend’s first appointment posts, both get a nudge. Details in refer a friend.

If clients stretch their cycle, how many visits do you lose per chair per year?
Effective discount when you give a fixed perk after N visits.
More on filling slow days: handling no-shows and cancellations.
No. They add a pass to Apple Wallet or Google Wallet once. At checkout they show the QR; your front desk or stylist scans it with PointsCard.
You set one clear rule in the app—visits to earn, reward size—and keep it simple at the chair. Many salons use one visit per checkout; barbers often do the same for cuts and shaves.
Yes. Prepaid session packs can live on the same wallet pass. Staff deduct a package use or award a loyalty visit in the same scan flow. See prepaid packages.
No. The client already has the pass on their phone. Front desk or the stylist scans the QR while they pay. There is no app install and no account form at the desk.
Yes. Add a client by hand with their current balance, then show a recover QR so they save the pass to Apple Wallet or Google Wallet. You can also send an export from an existing program and have it imported. See how migration works.
