Window vinyl
A code at eye height on the glass beside your hours.
Most people notice a salon when it is closed and they are walking past.
Booking software raises commission, changes terms or shuts a feature you depend on. Your window vinyl and mirror cards should not be part of that decision.
For chairs that have already moved between two booking platforms.

Salon booking platforms compete aggressively and change their terms with little notice, adding client fees or pushing a marketplace that puts the salon next door in front of your own clients. Leaving should be easy and usually is not, because the platform link is printed on window vinyl, mirror cards and the back of every business card in the drawer. The switching cost is not software migration, it is signage, and that is enough to keep people on terms they dislike.
Window vinyl and printed cards quietly become the reason you stay on a platform you dislike.
Leaving means replacing every printed link you have.
The code is yours, so the platform behind it is a choice you can revisit.
You stop cutting to answer, or you miss the booking entirely.
A code at the mirror lets clients book their next visit while you work.
Interest evaporates because the door is locked.
A window code takes bookings at eleven at night.
A code at eye height on the glass beside your hours.
Most people notice a salon when it is closed and they are walking past.
A small card at each chair aimed at rebooking.
The best moment to book the next cut is during the current one.
A code on anything the client leaves with.
It survives the walk home better than a remembered phone number.
Yes, if the decal carries your own short link. When you move platforms you repoint the code once, and the vinyl, mirror cards and business cards you already have keep sending clients to the right place.
The window and the mirror outperform everything else, for opposite reasons. The window catches people when you are closed, and the mirror catches clients at the one moment they are certain they want to come back.
Even without appointments, a code that shows current wait times or a queue position reduces the number of people who look through the door, see three heads waiting, and keep walking. The destination can change later if you introduce booking.
