How to turn barbershop clients into regulars using loyalty tools

Client loyalty doesn't happen by chance — it's built through consistent care, meaningful rewards, and smart follow-up. If you're relying solely on great service to bring clients back, you're missing an opportunity to turn one-time visitors into long-term regulars.

With Fresha's built-in loyalty features, salons can automatically track repeat visits, reward clients, and keep them coming back — without extra admin.

Here's how to use loyalty tools to grow client retention and build a stronger salon business.

Set up a simple loyalty program

Your loyalty scheme should be easy to understand and easy to earn. With Fresha, you can choose to reward client with Points, Tier, or Referral rewards

• Start with a high-demand service to drive repeat bookings, and let the system track everything in the background.

Make rewards meaningful

Loyalty programs work best when the reward feels valuable. Offer rewards that match your average booking value or client preferences:

• Free upgrade or add-on service
• Product sample or full-size retail item
• Discount on their next appointment

Bonus: Personalise rewards based on the services they book most often.

Promote your loyalty offering

Don't let your loyalty program stay a secret. Let clients know:

• In your booking confirmation and reminder emails
• On your Fresha marketplace profile and social channels
• At the front desk or stylist chair during checkout

Use rebooking tools to keep clients on track

One of the best loyalty strategies is simply encouraging clients to rebook regularly. With Fresha, you can:

• Suggest their next appointment before they leave
• Use automated rebooking messages after their visit
• Offer rewards when they rebook in advance

The easier it is to return, the more likely they will.

Monitor client retention

Fresha's analytics give you visibility into your top clients, retention rates, and how loyalty rewards are performing. Use this data to tweak your program and celebrate your most loyal customers.
