## About SalonBiz
It fits salons perfectly, because it was created for them, not adapted technology out to make an extra buck.




## SalonBiz Reviews
  ### 1. A great system to keep track of everything - service and product payment and scheduling in one!

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Education Management | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 23, 2021

**What do you like best about SalonBiz?**

Being able to pull reports is the area I appreciate most—a one-stop place for inventory, sales numbers, and scheduling.

**What do you dislike about SalonBiz?**

The reports are exported in excel, so they are editable. It would be great if they could be sent as a pdf so that they could not be altered.

**What problems is SalonBiz solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Keeping up with inventory, and it automatically updating as items are sold. This saves a ton of time with manual counts.

  ### 2. SalonBiz for OPC Salon

**Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Lindsey M. | Guest Relations Specialist, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 09, 2019

**What do you like best about SalonBiz?**

SalonBiz has so many great resources when learning to use the system! Not only is this system easy to use, but if there are any questions, SalonBiz has resources on their website such as tutorials to help staff to utilize the software to the best of their ability

**What do you dislike about SalonBiz?**

SalonBiz is very simple and helps keep services and products in order, however I wish there were more ways to save information securely such as credit cards, and maybe access to a "punch card" towards a promotion?

**What problems is SalonBiz solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I feel as if SalonBiz is very user friendly for both stylists and receptionists. It is certainly the type of software that you will get what you put into it, so utilize it as much as you can to store client notes, formulas, and even products and even keeping stock! 

  ### 3. Works okay

**Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Allison P. | Hostess, Restaurants, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 18, 2019

**What do you like best about SalonBiz?**

I like that everything is displayed so you can easily see. It also tells you what each things if you hover over the icons with your mouse 

**What do you dislike about SalonBiz?**

Is very slow and not always accurate when booking appointments. I don't like that you cannot change the name of an appointment without having to cancel and rebook it. 

**Recommendations to others considering SalonBiz:**

I would recommend testing out the software first to see if it fully meets the needs of your salon and spa.

**What problems is SalonBiz solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It has impacted my work because it makes it easier to see the appointments for the day, instead of having to use a paper book and pen. It solves my problems by allowing me to also prepare for the days ahead since you can see the calendar.

  ### 4. SalonBiz review

**Reviewed by:** Madison W. | LifeSpa manager , Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 13, 2019

SalonBiz makes things so easy to understand 

**What do you dislike about SalonBiz?**

The system does crash so frequently and we constantly have issues with the server

SalonBiz is constantly shutting down with no end in sight 

  ### 5. I love how easy it is to see a stylist’s schedule

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Translation and Localization | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 11, 2019

**What do you like best about SalonBiz?**

I love how easy it is search for an appointment, to see the stylist’s schedule and to book an appointment. 

**What do you dislike about SalonBiz?**

I wish there were different view options, like month view. Also, this software is terrible on iOS portrait mode. 

**Recommendations to others considering SalonBiz:**

Every spa/salon should be using this!

**What problems is SalonBiz solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I love how I can see my stylist’s schedule and pick a time that works for me without spending half an hour on the phone. It saves me a lot of time and hassle. 

  ### 6. Decent program 

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Health, Wellness and Fitness | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 02, 2019

**What do you like best about SalonBiz?**

I love being able to see my massage appointments in real time on the app on my phone. I also like being able to add client notes on the app anytime. 

**What do you dislike about SalonBiz?**

The inability to edit my client notes on the app and also the inability to see coworkers schedules. Also I’ve often run into the problem of client history not showing up.  I rely on this for client information, and it’s frustrating to have nothing show up in the client notes or previous appointments when the information should be listed. 

**What problems is SalonBiz solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We’ve had problems with the system being down somewhat regularly although not as much recently. 

  ### 7. Great appointment scheduling and operational software

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Cosmetics | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 30, 2019

**What do you like best about SalonBiz?**

Supports all functions of running a business

**What do you dislike about SalonBiz?**

Large program so can run a bit slow at times

**What problems is SalonBiz solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Great to manage inventory, HR functions and clients. Reports help bring insight into business trends.  Love that the staff has a mobile version to help them manage appointments remotely 

  ### 8. It’s great- when it works

**Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Cosmetics | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 11, 2018

**What do you like best about SalonBiz?**

I love the ease of Salonbiz. They’re online training tutorials really set you up for success.

**What do you dislike about SalonBiz?**

It doesn’t work properly half the time and shuts down a lot. The integration with Pure Privilege through Aveda is always faulty. There is no way to set up a customer list by birthday- just birth month. 

**Recommendations to others considering SalonBiz:**

Make sure you fully research and read reviews between this and Millenium before choosing. Both have flaws, but you have to outweigh your pros and cons between the two.

**What problems is SalonBiz solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Salonbiz helps us organize customer info and appointments.

  ### 9. Could improve

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Consumer Goods | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 22, 2018

**What do you like best about SalonBiz?**

I like how easy it is to maneuver between the different locations we have. It's simple and easy to teach what to do. 

**What do you dislike about SalonBiz?**

I don't like that it doesn't automatically pull up the profile of the person calling in. This is what could be improved upon. 

**What problems is SalonBiz solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We book appointments, cancel, reschule with people over the phone. SalonBiz makes it really easy to do all three. Which makes the phone call super short and allows for better customer service.
