6–8 week color recall, birthday touchpoints, and reactivation cards for clients who haven't been in for a while. Pre-built playbooks for hair salons.
Most clients who stop coming in didn't have a bad experience — life got busy, they tried somewhere closer, or they just lost track of the calendar. A friendly postcard that lands at the 8-week mark with a real offer brings most of them back. The salons that lose clients are the ones who never reach back out.
Lapsed Color Client Recall — 3 waves over 8 weeks for clients past their rebook window
"It's been a minute — book your color with [stylist] and the toner's on us." Photo of recent work, QR straight to the stylist's booking page.
Front desk calls anyone who scanned the QR but didn't book. Pre-loaded script: "Saw you got our card — want me to grab Tuesday at 2 with Maya?"
"New to the menu: glossing service that refreshes color in 30 minutes." Different angle, different offer, keeps the conversation feeling fresh.
"We'd love to have you back — $25 off your next color, expires in 3 weeks." Urgency + concrete savings. After this, the contact moves to the dormant list.
Four design styles, all themed for hair salons and ready to customize. Reactivation front, booking offer back — just pick the look that matches your salon.

Choose "Lapsed Color Recall" or "Birthday VIP." Wave timing, copy direction, and front-desk call scripts come pre-configured.
Vagaro, Booker, Square Appointments, Mindbody, and GlossGenius all let you export clients by last-visit date. Pull anyone past their rebook window. Upload the CSV.
Postcards print and drop into USPS within 1–2 business days. QR scans drop into your call queue. Subsequent waves schedule themselves.
Pre-loaded reactivation scripts. Log call outcomes. Booked clients drop back into your booking software and the cadence retires the contact.
Clients past their 8-week color rebook window get a friendly card with a small offer (free toner, glossing add-on). The biggest single source of recovered revenue for most salons.
Mailed 7–10 days before the birthday with a small gift (free scalp massage, $25 birthday credit, complimentary deep conditioning). Reliably 8–15% redemption.
When you bring on a new stylist with chair gaps, mail a "meet [stylist], book a complimentary consultation" card to your dormant list. Fills their book in weeks 1–4.
Launching extensions, gloss treatments, scalp facials, or keratin? A postcard to your active and dormant lists with the new menu item plus a launch-week incentive lands faster than email.
A typical salon with 600 lapsed clients (90+ days since last visit). Here's what one PostKnock 2-wave reactivation campaign looks like:

Specific hair salon campaigns
PostKnock hair salon postcards start at $1.05 per 4x6 postcard on the Free plan and drop to $0.79 on Pro. There are no setup fees, no minimums, and no contracts. You only pay for what you send. Pricing includes printing and USPS First-Class postage.
Color clients should hear from you 6–8 weeks after their last visit. Cut-only clients usually rebook on a 4–6 week cadence. Highlights and balayage clients land in the 10–12 week window. PostKnock segments your client list by service type and last visit date so each recall card lands at the right moment.
A photo of recent salon work, a clear offer (free toner add-on, $20 off color, complimentary blow-dry with a cut), the stylist's name, and a QR code to the booking page. Personal handwritten-style copy beats generic "we miss you" every time.
Most salon software (Vagaro, Booker, Square Appointments, Mindbody, GlossGenius) lets you export clients filtered by last visit date. Pull clients with a last visit between 8 weeks and 18 months ago and upload the CSV to PostKnock. Our import wizard auto-maps the columns. Clients past 18 months go on a separate "win-back" segment with a stronger offer.
Yes. Birthday postcards with a small gift (free deep conditioning, complimentary scalp massage, $25 birthday credit) consistently produce 8–15% redemption. They land 7–10 days before the birthday so clients can plan a treat-themselves visit. PostKnock automates the trigger from the birth date in your client export.
Three days after the postcard mails, the front desk gets a queue of warm leads to call. Pre-loaded scripts cover the common objections: "I've been busy," "I tried someone closer," "I want to grow my hair out." Each call logs an outcome so the next wave knows whether to retire the contact, push the offer, or wait.
Yes. Each stylist can have their own client segment, branded postcard, and call script. Some salons run shared house campaigns; others let each chair own their book and customize the recall flow. Booth-renters and commission stylists alike can use it.
Yes. Email open rates for salons hover around 18–22% and texts get filtered or ignored once a client has lapsed past 90 days. A physical postcard with a real offer cuts through the digital noise. Salons running PostKnock typically reactivate 8–15% of lapsed clients within 90 days.
Stop letting lapsed clients drift away. Start running the recall cadence that actually rebooks chairs.
