In hair, beauty and barbering, new clients find you through Google reviews and Instagram. XTap Connect NFC cards turn the moment a client loves their new look into a review, a follow or a rebooking – one tap with their phone at the mirror or the till.

Give every stylist their own card
Self-employed stylists, nail techs and lash artists can each have a card that opens their own Instagram, Linktree or booking page. Clients follow the person they love, and each team member builds their own following inside your salon. Contact us for team orders.
Make rebooking effortless
A Web Link Card or Linktree Card that opens your online booking page lets clients book their next appointment before they leave – or later from home, if they keep the card in their purse.
Tips for more salon reviews and followers
- Ask at the happiest moment – when the client sees the finished result in the mirror.
- Keep it relaxed – point to the card and let clients review later if they prefer. Google asks businesses not to pressure customers into reviewing on the premises.
- Treat everyone the same – don’t offer discounts or free treatments for reviews, and don’t only ask clients you think will be positive.
- Post the results – clients who follow you on Instagram or TikTok see your work and come back for more.
Cards that look as good as your work
We design every card from scratch in your salon’s style – minimal, luxury, bold or playful – using your logo and colours. You approve a proof before we print, and cards are printed on waterproof PVC that copes with a busy salon.
Delivery across the UK and Europe
UK delivery costs from £2.99 and takes 2–3 working days. Ireland and the rest of Europe from £5.99. See delivery prices and times.
Questions from salon owners
Can one card open my booking app?
Yes. A Web Link Card or Linktree Card can open any booking page you use, as long as it has a web address.
Do clients need to download anything?
No. The card opens a normal link on iPhones from the iPhone XS onwards and most Android phones. We can add a QR code on the back for other phones.
Can I order cards for a team?
Yes. Each card can open a different link, so every stylist can have their own. Get in touch with your team size.
