For barbers & barber shops , The free cut, always in their pocket
A fade every three weeks, a beard trim in between: your customers are regulars, often loyal to a barber more than to a brand. Quardy puts their card in their phone's Wallet, and you validate it with a scan at checkout.
Why barber shops are made for stamp cards
A sharp fade doesn't last: your customers come back every two to four weeks, with a fairly stable ticket. That is the perfect rhythm for a stamp card, which fills up in a few months. And on a street where barbers keep opening, a half-full card is a real reason not to try the one next door.
-
Frequent visits
Customers maintain their cut every 2 to 4 weeks: a 6-stamp card fills in 3 to 6 months.
-
A stable ticket
Cut, cut and beard: similar prices, ideal for one stamp per visit.
-
A connected clientele
Your customers follow you on Instagram and live on their phones: the Wallet speaks to them.
Which type of loyalty to choose?
Stamps, with a short cycle. Six visits is a few months for a regular: the reward stays visible and motivating. Beyond ten it feels too far away and the card gets forgotten.
Quardy recommendation for barbers
Stamps: 6 cuts = the 7th free
A free cut is chair time you control, and a reward the customer understands instantly. You can also offer a beard trim or a treatment, for an even lower cost.
Example: Yanis comes every twenty days for his fade. In four months his card is full and his seventh cut is free. He tells his friends, who add your card in turn. For you, it is one free cut for six paid ones, from a customer who no longer thinks of going anywhere else.
Alternative: points if you sell products
If you also sell waxes, beard oils and grooming products, points reward the whole basket: for example 1 point per euro, a beard trim at 100 points, a cut at 200. Products count as much as services.

Frequently asked questions
I take bookings online or walk-ins. Does that change anything?
No. Quardy doesn't touch your bookings: it runs alongside, with no integration. Booked or walk-in, you scan the card at checkout.
There are three barbers in the shop. Can each one scan?
Yes, with the Business plan (€24.99/month): each barber has their own access and every cut is logged in their name. On the free or Pro plan, a shop phone or tablet signed in to the owner's account is enough.
My customers don't want yet another app.
They don't install any. The card is added to Apple Wallet or Google Wallet, already on their phone. It even shows on the Apple Watch.
Can I add my logo and a photo of the shop?
Your logo, colours and a line on the card are free. A photo as the card background is included in the Pro plan.
I already have paper cards. Do I throw them away?
Let customers finish them and offer Quardy to new ones. Our paper vs digital comparison covers the transition.
How much does it cost?
Free up to 50 customers. After that, the Pro plan is €9.99/month, no commitment, with unlimited customers.
