Two Lanes to Restore Your Cash Flow
-
Fixed-fee $15: Ideal for small balances like membership dues or service no-shows. You keep 100% of the money we recover.
-
Contingency (20%–40%): No recovery, no fee. Best for larger medical spa balances or older accounts that require intensive skip tracing.
Why Spas and Salons Choose the Velvet Hammer
-
Bilingual Outreach: We provide Spanish-speaking collectors to ensure clear communication with your entire client base.
-
MedSpa Compliance: For medical spas, we are fully HIPAA compliant, ensuring patient privacy is protected during the recovery of cosmetic procedure fees.
-
Credit Reporting: If a balance remains unpaid, we offer credit reporting (where permitted) to provide the necessary leverage to settle the account.
Red Flag Box: 3 Signs a Client is Avoiding Payment
-
The “Dissatisfied” Retrospective: They loved the service during the appointment but suddenly “found an issue” once the invoice arrived.
-
Card-on-File Failures: Recurring membership payments begin declining, and the client stops responding to your front desk.
-
The Chargeback Threat: Using credit card disputes as a way to avoid paying for services already rendered.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you collect on “No-Show” fees?
Yes. If your intake forms clearly state your cancellation policy, we can professionally mediate those balances to ensure your time is compensated.
Will this hurt my local reputation?
No. We use a “concierge” style of communication. Most clients pay simply because a third party has stepped in to document the commitment, not because of aggressive tactics.
Do you handle Medical Spa (MedSpa) accounts?
Yes. We specialize in the unique regulatory needs of MedSpas, balancing debt recovery with the strict privacy standards required for medical aesthetic procedures.
