Book Their Next Appointment Before They Leave the Chair
Your stylists are losing clients to silence. Automate the next-visit moment. Lock in appointments. Reward loyalty. Build relationships clients follow, not salons.
Sound familiar?
These are the challenges hair salons face every day. Blinko solves all of them.
40% of color clients skip next appointment
Stylists book them for 6-week touch-ups but they forget. Revenue lost: $150-300 per missed appointment.
Clients loyal to stylists, not salons
When your best stylist leaves, so do their clients. Salon loses the relationship.
Reminder phone calls waste time
Calling clients to remind them takes hours and has low success rates.
Product sales happen at wrong moment
Stylists mention products but clients forget. Sales happen at checkout if at all.

Questions, answered.
The things hair salons ask before they sign up.

expand_more
No. Blinko is the only loyalty platform where customers follow a business with a single QR scan — no app install, no signup, no email required.
How much does Blinko cost?
expand_more
Blinko has a free plan that stays free forever. Paid plans start at $19/month (Indie) with a 30-day free trial — no credit card required.
How long does setup take?
expand_more
Most businesses go live in under 10 minutes — print your QR sticker, configure your first stamp card or welcome offer, and you are running.
Will I lose my customers if I switch from Square or Toast?
expand_more
No. Blinko sits alongside your existing POS — you keep your payment flow and just add the loyalty layer on top.
What kind of businesses use Blinko?
expand_more
Cafes, restaurants, nail salons, barbershops, retail shops, gyms, churches, yoga instructors, food trucks, and any business with repeat customers — including solo professionals without a fixed location.
Can I run a refer-a-friend campaign in Blinko?
expand_more
Yes. Blinko’s referral campaigns let your existing followers invite friends with a personalized QR coupon — both the referrer and the new customer earn a reward when the friend makes their first purchase.
Does my customer have to download an app to refer their friend?
expand_more
No. Followers share the referral coupon directly via iMessage, WhatsApp, or any messaging app. The friend who receives it sees the offer instantly in the link preview, and only installs Blinko if they want to claim the reward.
Marketing CopilotWorking in the background, so you don't have to.
While you're serving customers, Blinko is watching your visit patterns and quietly doing the marketing work — so your regulars keep coming back without you lifting a finger.
Spots who's drifting away
Blinko automatically identifies customers who haven't visited in a while — before they forget you exist.
Sends the right nudge at the right time
A perfectly timed offer goes out automatically. No scheduling, no copywriting, no thinking required.
Gets smarter with every visit
Every check-in teaches Blinko more about your customers. Over time it fine-tunes who to reach and when — so results keep improving on their own.
Set it up once. Blinko runs it from there.
