What payment methods should you offer in a hair salon?

1. Bank Card – The Essential Standard

This is the most widely used payment method in France. Thanks to modern payment solutions, cards can be accepted in the following modes:

• Inserted with PIN code

• Contactless (NFC)

• Remotely via an online payment page

Visa, Mastercard, and CB (Bank Card) cards are the most common. Adding American Express is a plus, especially in tourist or upscale areas.

2. Mobile Payment – For Connected Customers

With the rise of payments via smartphone and smartwatch, your salon must be compatible with:

• Apple Pay

• Google Pay

• Samsung Pay

These solutions use contactless technology and work the same way as an NFC bank card.

3. Remote Payment – For Bookings or In-Home Services

Ideal for collecting a deposit or allowing your clients to pay before their appointment. With Stancer, you can: 

• Generate a payment link via SMS, email, or message,
• Reduce no-shows,
• Streamline your daily operations.

The client pays whenever they wish, ahead of the service, which secures the appointment for the salon while offering more flexibility to the client.

4. QR Code Payment – Intuitive and Contactless

QR code payment is becoming increasingly popular, especially among younger customers:

• The merchant generates a QR code to scan

• The customer pays via their banking app or a digital wallet

• No physical contact or terminal required

This is an excellent complement to other payment methods, easy to set up and quick to use.

Stancer – The All-in-One Payment Solution for Hair Salons

Stancer is a solution designed for independent professionals and local businesses, such as hair salons. It covers all the use cases mentioned above:

Cards and mobile payments

Stancer allows you to accept payments by bank card or via digital wallets through two complementary solutions: a physical payment terminal or Tap to Pay on iPhone and Android. You can accept payments from your customers with a classic POS terminal or directly from your smartphone, with no additional terminal, simply by using the Stancer app. The accepted payments include bank cards (CB, Visa, Mastercard), as well as mobile payments such as Apple Pay, Google Pay, and other contactless solutions. All of this with no commitment, no setup fees, and simple pricing, tailored to small businesses as well as busy salons.

Remote Payment

Stancer allows you to accept remote payments through the sending of secure payment links. In a few clicks, you can generate a unique link that your customer will receive via SMS, email, or instant messaging.

This solution is particularly useful for:

• Collecting a deposit when booking a time slot,

• Selling custom services in advance.

With remote payment, your customers pay securely before even coming to the salon, which reduces last-minute cancellations and optimizes your organization.

QR Code Payment

Stancer also offers the option to accept payments via QR Code, a simple, fast, and contactless solution.

From your Stancer interface, you can generate a unique QR Code for each payment. Your customer scans it with their smartphone to be redirected to a secure payment page, where they can pay by card or digital wallet.

This payment method is particularly practical:

• For quick payments at the counter or at the chair,

• For salons that want to limit physical handling.

QR code payment integrates perfectly with your other payment solutions and requires no additional equipment.
