Clients join from the QR code at your reception and keep your card in Apple Wallet, Google Wallet or the BonusQR app. You scan it when they pay, on any phone or tablet – no POS needed. Start free with unlimited clients.
You have received a new coupon.
Blow-dry FREE
A hair salon loyalty program rewards clients for booking their next cut with you instead of trying the salon down the street: a free blow-dry after every fifth visit, a treatment once they reach a new tier, or a coupon for bringing a friend. Clients who already have a reward half-earned are far more likely to come back to the same chair.
With BonusQR, clients scan the QR code at your reception, sign in with Google, Apple or e-mail and can keep your card in Apple Wallet or Google Wallet. When they pay, you scan the client’s code, and the stamp, credit or coupon is added straight away.
There is nothing to connect to your till and no paper cards that get lost in a handbag. You can start on the free plan with unlimited clients and 7 types of loyalty programs, and move to a paid plan only when you want one of its features, such as booking.
One day at a salon that runs BonusQR: what the client does, what your team does, and what waits on the next appointment.
Clients scan the QR code on the stand at your reception or on the mirror sticker while they wait. It opens your salon’s page in the BonusQR app, with your rewards on it. The stand, a sticker, a QR page and a flyer are free to print from your account.
Free printed QR materialsThey sign in with Google, Apple or e-mail and can add your card to Apple Wallet or Google Wallet, or keep it in the BonusQR app. Nothing to download first, and no paper card to forget at home.
Apple Wallet loyalty card
You or your stylist scan the client’s code with BonusQR on a phone or tablet and answer one prompt: the amount for cashback, or the number of services for a stamp card. A reward for visits needs nothing typed at all.
BonusQR ScannerWhen a goal is reached, the coupon waits in the client’s app, and on the wallet card if they saved one. You scan its QR code to redeem it, and stamps above the goal carry over to the next card.
Scan with a phone or tablet, a USB or Bluetooth reader, or the optional BonusQR Scanner for the counter. No POS is needed; a POS link through the BonusQR REST API is a custom project, quoted separately.
POS integrationBonusQR starts you with a program set up for salons. Keep it, change it, or build your own from the ideas below.
Your Google Maps listingName, address and photo filled in for you
Beauty salonYour starter program
Type your salon’s name as it appears on Google Maps and choose “Beauty salon”. BonusQR fills in the name, address and photo and sets up a 20% welcome discount and 5% cashback, which you can look over before you print your QR code. The rate of a saved cashback cannot be changed, so if you want another rate, replace it before you invite clients. No Google Maps listing yet? The custom setup takes about five minutes.
Each service earns a stamp, and a full card gives a coupon, such as a free blow-dry or a treatment. Quick to add at checkout and easy for clients to follow on their phone.
Digital stamp cardA card with 2 to 5 stages: a coupon at each stage, for example a treatment after three visits and a free cut after six, then the card starts again. Available on the Basic plan.
Tiered stamp cardNew clients get a coupon as soon as they join, such as a discount on their next visit, so the first appointment already leads to a second.
Welcome couponA percentage off in a time window you choose, such as 9 to 11 am, to fill the chairs that usually stay empty. You see it when you scan the client’s code and take it off the bill.
Fixed discountClients share their personal link; a friend counts once they create a new account and come for their first visit, and the client who invited them gets a coupon. Available on the Premium plan.
Referral programA coupon goes out automatically on the client’s birthday, or a few days before, using the date in their profile. Available on the Premium plan.
Birthday couponOne offer can combine several programs. It needs one main program, such as a stamp card, cashback or a reward for visits; a welcome coupon or a discount can sit beside it.
Running a beauty or nail salon as well? Beauty salons
A loyalty card is one part of a salon visit. These features cover the rest, from the appointment to the gift a client buys for a friend, and each one shows the plan it needs.
Clients book a cut or a colour in your loyalty app or on your own booking page, and can choose their stylist if you like. Each service has its own duration; you set staff, opening hours and blocked times. Bookings add no stamps or points.
Appointment BookingSell a pack of treatments in advance: the client pays online in the app and gets one coupon for each treatment, redeemed with a scan at each visit.
Prepaid packages in the app
Sell a cut and blow-dry as a gift: the buyer pays online, and the voucher arrives by e-mail with its QR code. It is one coupon, not a money balance; payments run through Stripe and BonusQR keeps a 5% commission.
Gift VouchersClients fall into groups by your rules, such as regulars or clients not seen for 30 days, recalculated every hour, and you send each group news or a coupon.
Automated customer groups
Signed-in clients rate their visit with 1 to 5 stars and a comment. If you switch on the Google step and your Google listing is linked, those who give 4 or 5 stars can continue to your Google review form with their comment copied; nothing is posted for them.
Customer FeedbackAfter the number of visits you choose, BonusQR asks the client once, by e-mail and push notification, to review your salon on Google. It needs your linked Google profile.
Google Maps ReviewsTell members about free slots, a new stylist or a product offer. News inside the app is free; push notifications and e-mail are on Basic, every 4 days, and on Premium once a day.
News & PUSH NotificationsAlso on Basic: 5 staff logins with a history of who scanned, several locations in one account and your own link, such as bonusqr.com/your-business. Several locations in one account
Start free and move up only when you want a paid feature. The pricing page shows Basic and Premium in your currency.

What salon owners ask before they start.
The one your clients understand at a glance. A stamp card – for example, every sixth blow-dry on the house – suits clients who come every few weeks; a tiered stamp card gives regulars a reward at several stages, and cashback suits salons where bills vary from a trim to a full colour. With BonusQR you can combine several programs in one offer and add or replace programs later. The tiered stamp card and points are on the Basic plan.
Clients scan the QR code at your reception, which opens your page in the BonusQR app, sign in with Google, Apple or e-mail and can save the loyalty card to Apple Wallet or Google Wallet. When they pay, you scan the client’s code with a phone, tablet, QR code reader or the BonusQR Scanner and, for stamps or cashback, enter the number of services or the amount. Stamps, credit and coupons are added automatically, and a coupon is redeemed by scanning its QR code.
No. Your loyalty page works in the browser, and clients can save the card to Apple Wallet or Google Wallet; the BonusQR app for iPhone and Android is optional.
Yes, on the Basic plan. Clients book a service in your loyalty app or on your own booking page; each service has its own duration, and you set staff, opening hours and blocked times. Bookings themselves do not add stamps or points – the reward comes with the scan when the client pays.
You can start on the BonusQR free plan, free forever, with unlimited clients and 7 types of loyalty programs, including the stamp card, cashback and the welcome coupon. Basic and Premium add more program types and salon features such as appointment booking, prepaid packages and referrals; the pricing page shows their prices in your currency. No credit card is needed to sign up.
Type your salon’s name as it appears on Google Maps and choose “Beauty salon”. BonusQR fills in the name, address and photo and creates a starter program – a 20% welcome discount and 5% cashback – that you can look over straight away. No Google Maps listing yet? The custom setup takes about five minutes. Then print the free stand, sticker or flyer with your QR code and start scanning.
Yes. On the free plan you scan with your own login; Basic adds 5 staff logins and Premium unlimited ones. Every scan is recorded with the login that made it, and stylists cannot see your client list or change your settings.
With the referral program (Premium plan), clients share a personal link, and they get a coupon once a friend creates a new account and comes for a first visit. With customer feedback (Basic plan), clients who rate their visit with 4 or 5 stars can continue to your Google review form with their comment copied – nothing is posted for them, and lower ratings stay in your admin. On Premium, BonusQR can also invite clients to review you on Google after the number of visits you choose.
