How to set it up in your barbershop
How many stamps to ask for depending on how often clients come in, what to reward and how to stop cards filling up without repeat visits.
Recommended setup
- Stamps per card
- 8
- Reward
- A free haircut
- Minimum purchase
- The price of a haircut, so a pot of wax or a shampoo doesn't earn a stamp
- On joining
- 1 free stamp
- Halfway reward
- A beard trim at the 4th stamp (optional)
If your clients come in every 3 or 4 weeks, they fill the card in about six months.
What each reward costs you
| Reward | When they get it | Costs you, roughly |
|---|---|---|
| A beard trim | At the 4th stamp | About 10 minutes |
| A free haircut | At the 8th stamp | About 30 minutes |
| A hot towel shave | With a 10-stamp card | About 30 minutes and the product |
The client has paid for seven haircuts to earn one. It's like a 12% discount, but it feels like a gift and gives them a reason not to switch barbers.
An example: Alex, a cut every four weeks
Alex gets his hair cut every four weeks. He has a stamp the moment he joins, and on his third visit, with four stamps, he gets a beard trim.
When a friend recommends another barber, he's three stamps from a free haircut, so he stays.
If he forgets his phone, no problem: you look him up by his number and add the stamp anyway.
Common mistakes in barbershops
- A stamp for any purchaseIf a pot of wax counts like a haircut, the card fills up without the client sitting in the chair again. Set the minimum at the price of a cut.
- Sticking with paper cardsThey get lost, they get wet and anyone can copy the stamp. On the phone they don't get lost and only your team can add stamps.
- A reward nobody noticesA free tub of gel doesn't motivate anyone. A haircut or a hot towel shave does, and they mostly cost you time.
“Scan this and you've got your first stamp. On the eighth, the cut's on the house.”
Automated emails that bring them back.
Your customers already walk in; the challenge is getting them back. These four emails go out on their own.

How many stamps do you recommend for a barbershop?
Between 6 and 10. If customers come every 3 or 4 weeks, 8 stamps and a free cut means they fill the card in a few months, without the reward feeling out of reach.
Can I give stamps for haircuts but not for products?
Yes, with the minimum purchase. Set it around the price of a haircut, and buying wax or shampoo is recorded but doesn't earn a stamp.
What if a customer forgets their phone?
No problem. Look them up by phone number and add the stamp anyway. They never need to show anything.
Do my customers need to download an app?
No. They scan your QR and their stamp card opens in their phone's browser. If they want, they can add it to their home screen with one tap.
What if a customer doesn't have a smartphone?
No problem. They just tell you their phone number at the counter and you add the stamp. They never need to open the website.
How much does it cost?
You start with a 30-day free trial, no card needed. After that, Basic is $18 a month and Pro is $49 a month, plus tax. Pay yearly and get 2 months free. Cancel anytime.
I bought Apego and I'm not convinced. Can I get a refund?
