The main draw was the great client information privacy policy. It was very easy to use once all the data was put in and the team got used to using it. I love that I was able to run the salon off an iPad, including POS, and could check my schedule on my iPhone through the app Support team and email correspondence was always fast in my experience. Never tried any pushy sales tactics or upgrades. Overall, good software for newbies and reliable. > > **Cons**: -Online booking - Slick App was the only way clients could book online, there was no real incentive for clients to use it and i never received any bookings from it- be it new or existing clients. It has no real online presence and was an unfamiliar brand. My clients felt uncomfortable handing over personal information. From memory I believe the business only had an 30 mins from opening time to confirm a booking which is ridiculous and almost impossible in a busy salon environment. -Outdated looking interface. felt very dated and clunky. It was a breeze to use once you understood it, nut did take some getting used to. - Customer support was a little tricky. Had a bit of trouble understanding how to unsubscribe (very well hidden) - Expensive for the small size of the team I have. Paying double the price for 2 columns was a bit of a joke. I can definitely see benefit if the salon team was bigger. -Disappointing that no appointment changes or new appointments couldn't be made via the phone app on the go. The app was only useful to see appointments, not much else. > > \- Client information privacy policy is the best I have found in my research of salon software. - Friendly staff that were prompt in answering any questions or problems I had. - Price transparency before signing up - you know exactly what you get for what price. ----- ### "The simplest salon software ever" — 5.0/5 > **Kay** | *16 October 2019* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It’s ease of use, simplicity and value for money > > **Cons**: That I couldn’t change back to 15 min segments from the 10 min segments. This is why I do not use online booking or your SMS or email service for reminders (I use my own SMS on my phone) I book by 15 min segments if it were in 5 minute segments it would work perfectly. > > I don’t use a lot of the features, as I am a sole operator I really don’t need to but it is easy to use, simple to pull up reports and I may one day use online bookings. ----- ### "Hair dressing Up and downs" — 3.0/5 > **Onora** | *22 October 2019* | Cosmetics | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: see below please I had already started writing below and had no time to start again > > **Cons**: see below please I had already started writing in the box no time to change > > Some times speaking to someone to guide you through problems, is easier. If I use a capital in names it will not always pick up the name if it was spelt with a lower case. A register of just suburbs and postcodes would be ideal. To scroll down for old info instead of last few months would benefit. A place for us to add codes for our own salon use. Different colour screen and more colour choice for items. That's for starters. ----- ### "Simple to use" — 5.0/5 > **Anna** | *5 October 2019* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The software is simple to set up and use once the products and services are organised. > > **Cons**: As for the wellness sector there isn't enough options for online bookings. I can only have 'cupping' as an option. I think if this can change or suit the users where they choose the options they provide that would be better for clients. > > The online option has been great as for my business, people from 20-45 book online all the time. The option of just choosing cupping as a service title is an issue rather than specifically titled to what I am providing. However, I enjoy using the program as I can book anyone anywhere at anytime. ----- ### "Help\!" — 4.0/5 > **Alex** | *18 October 2019* | Cosmetics | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: It’s simple and not complicated. Clean look. > > **Cons**: I can never get in contact with customer support. Like ever. > > Fine until something goes wrong and then it’s impossible to get help. ----- Page: 1 / 7\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.com.au/software/111725/simple-salon?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.com.au/software/111725/simple-salon) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | ----- ## Structured Data
