Japanese beauty salons to offer NFC coupons

Salon de Wallet

Salon de Wallet, a mobile membership service for Japanese beauty salons, is to add mobile coupons that can be redeemed via NFC or mobile barcodes, using a solution developed by C-Sam, Dai Nippon Printing, carrier KDDI and POS provider HyperSoft.

Salon de Wallet lets customers store multiple membership cards from a variety of beauty salons along with their beauty profile and transaction history, allowing them to track their reward point status as well as make appointments and access beauty tips. Customers also have access to an ecommerce site they can use to shop for beauty products.

The new mobile coupons service will be available to the more than 2,200 beauty salons across Japan that use Hypersoft's POS system.
