For nail salons & nail bars , The loyalty programme made for your customers
Treatment every 3-4 weeks, regular customers, consistent baskets: your trade is the ideal playground for stamps. Your customers scan your QR code, add their card to their Wallet, and you validate every session in a single tap.
Why nail salons are the perfect fit for stamps
Nail salons tick every box for a loyalty-friendly trade: regular visits (every 3-4 weeks for semi-permanent or acrylic infills), predictable spend (between £25 and £55 depending on the service), long customer relationships (a happy customer stays for 2-3 years or more). The stamp system, already familiar to every salon customer, goes digital without losing its simplicity.

Which loyalty type should you choose?
Stamps are almost always the right call for a nail salon. The cycle matches your customers' natural rhythm exactly, and the reward (a free set) is concrete and desirable. Avoid cycles that are too long (10+) — they discourage; stick to 5-6 max.
Quardy's pick for nail salons
Stamps: 5 visits = 1 free set
5 visits is roughly 4-5 months for a regular customer. The reward is a full set (semi-permanent polish or basic acrylic) with a strong perceived value (£25-£40) for a relatively controlled material cost and time investment.
Example: Camille comes in every 3 weeks for her semi-permanent polish (£35). After 5 visits over 4 months, her 6th set is free. She's delighted, leaves you a Google review and keeps coming back. You've 'lost' £35 on a customer who's spent £175 in 4 months — and who'll keep coming for the next 2 years. ROI: huge.
Alternative: stamps with scaled reward
If you offer two product tiers (classic polish vs acrylic + premium nail art), you can vary the reward by profile. For example: '5 semi-permanent sets = free polish, but 5 acrylic sets = free acrylic + nail art'. Worth testing based on your service mix.
How it works in your nail bar
-
QR code next to the station
Place your Quardy QR code on your manicure table, on the wall facing the chair, or on a display at reception. Your customers see it while waiting for nails to dry — the perfect moment. -
Scan and Wallet sign-up during drying
During the 10 minutes of semi-permanent drying, your customers have their phone within reach. They scan, add to their Wallet — done without interrupting your work. -
On every set, validate with one tap
Before she leaves, ask for her card (in her Wallet), scan it from the Quardy app, the stamp is added. 5 seconds, slotted into your flow. -
5/5 = free set
When the customer reaches her 5th stamp, you see it in your app too. Her next set is free. A lovely moment to announce her gift and ask for a Google or Instagram review in return.
Bonus: push campaigns to boost quiet periods (Pro plan)
With the Pro plan at €9.99/month, you can send push notifications to your loyal customers. Specific ideas for a nail salon:
- Quiet Monday/Tuesday: 'Free slots Monday and Tuesday this week — come try the new Halloween nail art'
- Before the holidays: 'Christmas is coming — pre-book your festive set before slots on the 30-31 fill up'
- New products: '10 new semi-permanent colours in stock — come try them this week'
- Quiet customer re-engagement: 'It's been 45 days since I last saw you — I miss you (and so do your nails 😄)'
- Gift card (Pro plan): 'Treat a friend to a set — gift card in her wallet, she picks the nail art on the day'
Frequently asked questions
My customers don't want another app — will Quardy work for them?
Exactly the point: your customers don't install any app. Their Quardy loyalty card goes straight into Apple Wallet or Google Wallet, apps that are already on their phone. It's the only system that requires zero install effort.
I use Booksy or Treatwell for bookings — is that compatible?
Yes. Quardy is fully independent from booking platforms. Your customers keep booking on Booksy as before, and you manage loyalty with Quardy alongside it. No integration required.
My customers pay by contactless or mobile wallet — does that change anything?
No. Payment and loyalty are two separate things. You keep taking payment as before (card, cash, transfer, mobile pay, whatever), and after payment you scan the customer's loyalty card to add the stamp. The two together take about 30 seconds.
How many staff members can scan cards?
On the free and Pro plans: one person (the owner account). If you have 2-3 nail technicians in your salon, upgrade to the Business plan (€24.99/month) — each will have their own account and every visit will be logged in the name of the technician who validated it.
Can my customers share their card with their daughter or sister?
No, each card is personal and tied to a single Wallet. That's deliberate: loyalty is personal and non-transferable, otherwise the stats become inaccurate. Each family member can have their own card (Wallet sign-up in 30 seconds).
Can I sell a set as a gift card?
Yes, on the Pro plan. Selling an amount rather than a specific service avoids misunderstandings: the recipient picks her set and her nail art on the day, and tops up if she goes for something pricier. She gets the card by email and adds it to Apple Wallet or Google Wallet, with no account to create. You scan and deduct at each visit, and the balance updates on its own.
