The leak

She loved her cut. She said she'd be back. She meant it.

Then a week passed, and another, and the diary quietly filled with everyone except her. No row, no complaint, no rival poached her. She just didn't rebook.

Most salons don't lose people to the shop down the road. They lose them to silence: the gap between a first visit that went well and the second one nobody ever booked.

“The clients that do come… never rebook!”
Sound familiar? You're not alone.

71%of first-time clients never return for a second visit.

£31.50of a £75 first booking goes to the platform that introduced her.

Our confidence in Fawned

From barbershops to salons. How Fawned was born.

We built Fawned for the barbershop we run in Putney, to bring people back without nagging them. It worked: visits that were walking away came back, and the diary held its rhythm. Salons are why we built it out, the same wound and the same fix, in a room that never had a front of house to catch it.

Plain answers

The questions owners actually ask.

What does it cost?

£149 a month, held at that rate for as long as you stay. No setup fee, no tiers, no contract you can't leave.

What does it need from my booking system?

Very little. Fawned sits on top of Phorest, Fresha, Timely, SalonIQ, Zenoti, Slick and the rest - it reads the visits, it doesn't replace the diary. Nothing to migrate, nothing to relearn.

Why do you visit in person?

Because a salon isn't a spreadsheet, and the first setup is worth getting right in the room. We come to you, set it up around how you actually work, and leave it running.

Do I have to leave Treatwell or Fresha?

No. Keep them for being found - that's what they're good at. Fawned's job is making sure the client they introduced once never needs introducing again. You pay to meet her one time, not every time.

What happens when a stylist leaves?

Some clients will always follow a stylist they love, and no software stops that. But when a stylist walks, her column only follows if the chair was the client's whole relationship with you. Fawned changes whose side the loyalty sits on: her stamps, her banked rewards and the number she texts all belong to your salon, and none of it leaves with anyone. A client four visits into a free blow-dry has a reason to stay that no new chair can offer her. With Fawned, leaving your salon costs her something for the first time.

Will it annoy my clients?

It reads like a message from you, because it is - your salon's name, one well-timed note, no blasts. The moment it would feel like marketing is the moment it doesn't send.

What happens with my customers' data?

It stays yours. Fawned reads visits to do its job, nothing more. Request your data at any time and it's handed over - and everything we hold is GDPR compliant.

What if it doesn't work for me?

You leave, and you stop paying. It's month to month, and the first 90 days are guaranteed: if the diary doesn't show it working, your money comes back. We'd rather you stay because the numbers say so, not because you're locked in.
