Turn Your Salon WiFi Into a Client Retention Machine
Clients spend an hour in your chair and connect to your WiFi while their colour develops, yet you capture nothing. CaptiFi captures their email and mobile, automates rebooking reminders and Google reviews, and wins back lapsed clients, all on autopilot.

Clients Sit in Your Chair for an Hour. Then Vanish for Months.
A salon lives and dies on rebookings. Yet most stylists and barbers have no reliable way to remind a client it is time for their next cut or colour, no way to win back the ones who drift away, and gaps in the column that never get filled.
Lapsed Clients
A client who used to come every six weeks slips to twelve, then disappears. Without their contact details, you never get the chance to bring them back.
Gaps in the Column
A cancellation leaves a 2pm slot empty. Without a client list to message, that hour, and its revenue, is simply lost.
Invisible in Local SEO
Delighted clients rarely review unprompted. Your Google rating trails the salon down the road that simply remembers to ask.
Everything a Salon Needs to Keep the Column Full
From client capture at WiFi login to automated rebooking reminders, built for salons and barbers who want loyal regulars and a stronger local reputation.
Capture Emails & Mobiles
Clients connect to your WiFi while they wait or have their colour developing. CaptiFi captures their email and mobile automatically. No clipboard, no awkward ask at the till.
Rebooking Reminders
Send an automated nudge at the right interval for each service, so a six-week cut is gently rebooked before the client even thinks about going elsewhere.
Win Back Lapsed Clients
Automatically reach clients who have not been in for a while with a personalised "we miss you" offer, before they settle in at another salon.
Automate Google Reviews
A timed review request goes out when clients are happiest with their new look. Salons see 3-5x more Google reviews, which is how new clients find you.
Fill Appointment Gaps
A cancellation leaves a slot empty? Send a same-day offer to local clients and fill the gap before the hour goes to waste.
Birthday & Seasonal Offers
Collect birthdays at login and send a treat. Run seasonal campaigns for party season, summer colour, or back-to-school cuts in one click.
Client Analytics
See visit frequency, identify clients at risk of lapsing, track your busiest days, and measure how every campaign performs.
GDPR & PECR Built-In
Consent capture, erasure tools and opt-out handling, built for UK GDPR and PECR. Essential when you market by SMS as well as email.

Capture & Rebook Automatically
