One relevant update brings the moment back

The card is the artifact. The return loop is the product.

Built around the empty-chair problem

The client already knows your work. Make the return easier.

A generic digital card helps exchange contact details. Handed Card is designed for what happens later: rebooking, a cancellation opening, a new location, or the next season of appointments.

Fill a real opening

Put a specific, pass-relevant opening in front of clients who chose to keep your card — without hoping they catch a Story.

Stay easy to book

Keep your booking page, Instagram DM, call button, and directions attached to the same card in their Wallet.

Move without disappearing

Update supported details once when your number, hours, title, or studio changes. Active passes can receive the new version.

Handoff → Wallet → return

Win the moment after the moment.

The handoff

Ask for one scan before they leave.

Your client opens a personal link or QR and taps Add to Apple Wallet. No Handed Card account and no separate recipient app.

The quiet middle

Stay in the place they already keep passes.

The card holds your brand and direct return actions. The installed pass and QR remain visible even when social reach changes.

The return moment

Show up only when there is a reason.

Send a limited, pass-relevant update for an opening or books release. The client controls Wallet notifications and can remove the pass anytime.

Messages worth sending

A reason to come back — not another content calendar.

Handed Card limits the channel on purpose. The message should be useful enough to deserve a place on the lock screen.

I moved two blocks north. Your card already has the new studio.

Fits beside your existing stack

Keep the booking app. Own the return path.

Handed Card is not salon management software. Link the booking page you already use, keep deposits and scheduling there, and use the Wallet card as the branded path clients keep after the appointment.

No calendar migration
No recipient contact list exposed
No social feed required to find the booking link

Stylists & barbers FAQ

Know exactly what the card does.

Does Handed Card replace my booking software?

No. Keep the booking platform you already use. Handed Card links clients back to that page from a branded Wallet pass and supports limited, pass-relevant updates after the handoff.

Do clients need to download an app?

No separate Handed Card app or account is required. On a compatible iPhone, a client opens your link in Safari and confirms Add to Apple Wallet. Other phones can still use the public contact page.

Can I announce every promotion to every client?

Handed Card is designed for limited, pass-relevant updates such as a real opening, changed hours, or a books release. Clients control Wallet notifications and can remove the pass at any time.

What happens if I move salons or change my number?

Edit the supported detail once. Handed Card signs a new pass version and notifies registered devices so Wallet can request the current version, subject to device, network, and Wallet settings.

Start with one real client

Don’t build another audience. Give the one you earned a way back.
