Loyalty & Referral Strategies to Grow Your Salon

Loyalty and referral programmes turn occasional visitors into regular clients and brand advocates. Here’s how to design programmes that work.

1. Points‑Based Loyalty Program

Reward clients for every appointment or amount spent. Clients can redeem points for discounts, free add-ons or retail products.

2. Tiered Rewards

Create membership tiers (e.g., Silver, Gold, Platinum) that unlock better benefits as clients book more services.

3. Subscription Memberships

Offer monthly memberships that include a set number of services at a discounted rate.

4. Referral Program

Encourage clients to share their experience by rewarding them and their friends when referrals book.

5. Gift Cards and Service Packages

Sell gift cards and bundles (e.g., 3 blow‑dries for the price of 2) to bring in upfront revenue and attract new clients.

6. Gamify the Experience

Use milestones, badges or levels to make the loyalty program fun and motivating.

7. Promote and Track Your Programs

Advertise your programmes across your website and social channels, and track usage to refine incentives.
