Protect the chair time — collect deposits before the appointment.

Pulse lets salons and spas take appointment deposits by text, sell recurring memberships and prepaid packages, and check out clients from their phone — reducing no-shows while keeping card data off the front desk.

The challenge

What’s slowing collection down.

No-shows and last-minute cancellations leave chairs and rooms empty.

Front-desk checkout and phone deposits mean staff handling cards — a PCI risk.

Memberships and prepaid packages are tracked manually.

How Pulse helps

Built for salons & spas, on one secure platform.

Deposits to hold appointments

Text a secure link to take a deposit when booking, so no-shows cost the client, not you.

Text-to-pay checkout

Clients pay from their phone at checkout — no line at the desk, no card handling.

Memberships & packages

Bill recurring memberships and sell prepaid packages automatically on a securely vaulted method.

AI rebooking & reminders

An AI text or voice agent confirms appointments, reduces no-shows, and rebooks lapsed clients.

Branded client portal

A self-service page where clients manage memberships and pay, under your brand.

No card at the front desk

PCI DSS Level 1 and tokenized — staff never key or store card numbers.

FAQ

Salons & Spas payments, answered.

How can a salon take an appointment deposit by text?

When a client books, Pulse texts a secure link to place a deposit. They pay from their phone on a tokenized page, so the appointment is secured and no-shows cost the client rather than your chair time.

Can we sell memberships and prepaid packages?

Yes. Recurring memberships and prepaid packages can be billed automatically on a securely vaulted method.

Can we take checkout and deposits by phone securely?

Yes. Clients enter card details by keypad straight into the gateway; staff never see or key the number, keeping card data out of your PCI scope.

Is client card data secure?

Payments run on PCI DSS Level 1 rails with tokenized vaulting, so raw card numbers never touch your staff or systems.

Will it work with our booking software?

Pulse is vendor-agnostic and layers onto the booking and phone systems you already use.
