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

Tokenized by a PCI DSS Level 1 processor — 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 our PCI DSS Level 1 processor’s rails with tokenized vaulting, so raw card numbers never touch your staff or systems.

Will it work with our booking software?

Pulse runs alongside the booking and phone systems you already use — text-to-pay links and the customer portal need no integration, and we’ll walk through anything deeper on a call.
