Rebooking is the entire economics of a chair, and it fails for the dullest reason there is: they cannot find you. Cardr puts you in their Apple Wallet, keeps their number on your side, and writes the nudge six weeks later.
A client who does not rebook usually has not gone elsewhere. They have just lost you. Your number is in a text from four months ago, your salon changed, or you went independent and they never got the message. Cardr puts your card in Apple Wallet where it cannot be deleted or buried, keeps their number and their preferences on your side, and drafts the rebooking nudge at the point in the cycle where it actually lands.
The forty seconds while they pay is when a returning client is made or lost.

The forty seconds while they pay is when a returning client is made or lost.
Every constraint above is what decides the format. A card that fails any one of the three does not get used a second time, however good it looks.
Everything in a salon competes for that window. They are getting a coat on, the next client is in the doorway, and the rebooking conversation is the one that quietly gets skipped. Handing over a paper appointment card assumes it survives a handbag, which it does not.
What survives is a pass in Apple Wallet. It sits alongside their boarding passes and their coffee card, it does not get deleted in a clear-out of apps, and it carries your booking link so the next appointment is one tap and not a phone call during your working hours.
If you are mobile, or you have gone independent and taken a chair somewhere new, this matters twice over. Every client who saved your card gets the new address and the new number on their phone without you finding two hundred people in an old phonebook.
Not a mock-up. The artwork below is drawn by the same function that draws the inside of the signed .pkpass file, in the same colours the real pass carries, so this is what Wallet shows.

No. The pass goes into Apple Wallet, which Apple preinstalls on every iPhone and which cannot be deleted. Android users open your page from the QR code and save you to their contacts from there. Nothing to install, no account, no email required first.
Yes, and better than most alternatives. Your pass opens with no signal, so it works in a flat with bad reception. They need enough signal to load your page once when they scan the code.
You edit the card once and every copy already in a client's Apple Wallet updates on their phone. That is the main reason a Wallet pass beats a paper appointment card or a number in an old text.
Yes. A booking link is one of the standard link types on the free plan, so it works with whatever system you already use. Cardr does not replace your booking software and does not try to.
The card, the Apple Wallet pass and the two-way exchange are free forever, with no card details taken. Pro is £12 a month, or £9 a month billed annually, and adds the client notes, the drafted messages and the rebooking reminders. Sixty-day money back guarantee.
Nothing for the other person to install, and no card details to start.
