Hair Salon Software Program

Sarah (my sister) inspired me to develop some marketing and appointment software for salons.

She's a hairdresser (I guess a stylist actually) and we were talking about some of the difficulties salon and spa owners face in managing and running their businesses.

One of the challenges salon owners face is that their clients are often more loyal to the employees - the stylists and the technicians - than to the salon or spa. (It's understandable because the employees have far more interaction with the clients than the "business" of the spa or salon). When the stylist leaves to work for another salon they take the clients with them.

Another challenge is marketing a salon or spa. Repeat business is essential whether you're running a nail studio, day spa or hair salon but the owner or manager is often so busy doing the managing that there is little time for marketing the business.

I built a salon scheduling program that automatically markets the salon or spa. Marketing to the existing clients of the salon happens automatically in the background leaving the owner free to do the important things.

It can also be used as spa membership software because it incorporates client relationship management features like emailing, address book, bulk message sending etc.

If you're interested take a look by clicking on one of the links above. It's been great fun.

Cheers

Pete
