RuffusBack to homeChairs don't stay full on hope.
- A client who loved their last cut can still drift past their rebook window without meaning to — no reminder, no reason to come back this month instead of next.
- Walk-ins are a coin flip. What actually keeps a chair full is a client who returns on a steady cadence, and that only happens if something nudges them.
- A punch card left in a drawer gets forgotten between visits. A stamp that lives in their Wallet is still there the day they're due for a trim.
Set it once, it runs on its own.
Set your stamp count and reward
Pick how many visits earn a free cut, blow-dry, or add-on — a few minutes to set up, no design skills needed.
Every visit, a tap
Clients tap their phone at checkout — or scan a QR code — and their stamp is added on the spot. No app to download, no phone number to type in.
Ruffus reaches out before they drift
When a regular's rebook window comes and goes without a visit, Ruffus reaches out automatically — in their own language — before they find another chair.
Built for a counter with a line, not a screen with a queue
Your front desk or chair-side tablet doesn't need a POS integration to run this — tap or scan, and the stamp lands. Staff approve requests from a PIN-protected terminal on any phone, so nobody needs dashboard access to keep the line moving.
Before you ask
Do I need a POS system for this?
No. Ruffus runs on its own — no POS integration required. Tap a phone or scan a QR code at the chair or the front desk and the stamp is added.
Will this slow down checkout?
It's a single tap or scan, the same motion as tapping a card to pay. Nothing to type, nothing to look up.
My clients don't all use the same type of phone
Doesn't matter — the card works in the browser, as an app saved to the home screen, or added to Apple Wallet or Google Wallet. Whatever they tap "Add" on, it works.
Questions barbershops and salons ask
Can each stylist or barber run their own program?
One loyalty card represents your business, and every chair can add to it from its own station — so a client stays loyal to the shop even if their usual stylist is off that day.
What happens when a client is close to their reward?
Ruffus keeps track and can reach out automatically when they're close, so a "just one more visit" client actually books that one more visit.
Do I need to buy hardware?
Every plan ships free pre-programmed NFC tap cards for your counter, plus a printable QR poster as a same-day fallback while the cards are on their way.
Can I run a different reward for colour clients versus a simple cut?
Yes — run more than one loyalty card side by side, so a cut-and-go card and a colour or treatment card can each track their own visits and rewards.
Do my clients need an app for the lock-screen reminder?
No. Once a client saves their card to Apple Wallet or Google Wallet, it shows up on their lock screen when they're near your chair — nothing to install, nothing to allow.
