Example of what happens next: Megan Hart scans Leah’s card, saves Leah to their contacts and chooses to send their own details back. The next morning at 09:00, Cardr Pro reminds Leah to follow up, with the email already drafted.
A digital business card for hairdressers keeps you in the client’s phone after you move salon. Your number is in an old text, or you went independent and they never heard. Clients scan it at the till, save you and can send their number back. Their colour sits in your note, and Pro reminds you when they are due.
One scan. You’re in their phone. They can send theirs.

Example
At the till, not at a trade show.
The till
- Forty seconds
- Card machine
- Rebook or lose
The forty seconds while they pay is when a returning client is made or lost.
- Forty seconds. The time it takes them to pay. A returning client is made or lost inside it.
- Card machine. Your hands are on the terminal and theirs are on a phone or a purse. Nothing is free.
- Rebook or lose. If they leave without the next appointment, the six-week gap does the deciding for you.
Each constraint decides the format. A card that fails any one of the three does not get used a second time, however good it looks.

Everything competes for that window. They are getting a coat on, the next client is in the doorway, and the rebooking conversation gets skipped. A paper appointment card has to survive a handbag.
What survives is your number in their contacts and a card page with your booking link, so they book the next appointment there and then.
If you are mobile, or you have taken a chair somewhere new, it matters twice. Edit your card and your page and pass show the new address, the contact they saved links back to that page, and your QR code never changes.
Nothing for them to download.

ProTime to follow up with Megan HartFollow-up drafted
- Rebooked at the till. Your booking link sits on your card, free, and Pro pins Book a time right under Save.
- Their number on your side. After they save you, clients can send their number back, so you are not waiting on them.
- The formula, remembered. “Balayage, toner 9.1, wedding in May” sits on the client’s name.
- The six-week nudge. Set a follow-up day on the client, and Pro emails you that morning with the message drafted.
- Clients who follow you. Go independent, go mobile or change salon: edit once and your card, page and QR code follow.
- Reviews and Instagram, free. Both are standard links, so the review ask is one tap at the end.
The card is free. Pro does the follow-up.
Everything in the first column stays free, with no expiry and no limit on exchanges or contacts. Pro adds what happens after the meeting.

Also for
Hairdressers, answered.
Does my client need to download anything?
No. Your QR code opens your card as a web page on their phone, iPhone or Android, and they save you to their contacts from there. Nothing to install and no account.
What happens if I move salon or go independent?
Edit your card once and your page, your pass and your QR code show the new details, and the contact a client saved links back to your page. A paper appointment card or an old text cannot do that.
Can each stylist in the salon have their own card?
Yes, and each card is free. Cardr Teams puts the salon’s name, logo and colour on everyone’s card and Apple Wallet pass from one console, from £39 a month for five people, with a 30-day trial and no card to start. Each stylist’s clients stay their own.
Can I link my booking system?
Yes. Booking is a standard link type on the free plan, so it works with whatever system you already use. Cardr does not replace your booking software.
What does it cost?
Free forever, no card details: your card, page and Apple Wallet pass, the two-way exchange, and every contact with notes, search and export. Pro, £12 a month or £108 a year (£9 a month), adds drafted messages, rebooking reminders, a pinned booking button and all 16 pass designs. 7 days free, then 30 days to change your mind.
Free forever. About a minute to build.
Nothing for the other person to install, and no card details to start.
