Top-tier salon management solution that continues to improve

We are very happy with our switch to Boulevard. Migration went very smoothly, we got up and running with minimal problems, support has been great since day 1. The only issues we've had have been or are currently being actively worked on in product cycles. Our day-to-day is much smoother than previous solutions, we love being on Boulevard!

PROS

Intelligent booking and client-specific service timing has saved us countless hours at the front desk and increased our service revenue 10%+. The calendar and schedule are very easy to use, our new front desk staff is trained up in half the time as previous software. The integrated booking widget that lives on our site is wonderful for preserving a fluid brand experience for clients booking online.

CONS

Add-ons for advanced features can start to add up on top of an already higher base price, and the cost to migrate from an another product can get very high (though if you are good with Excel you can prep migration sheets yourself and save a lot like we did). Reporting was initially a weak spot but has been continuously improved over the past year and is nearly at parity with our previous solution.

Reasons for switching to Boulevard

Intelligent scheduling, more flexibility with service timing and pricing, integrated booking widget.

Solid, reliable and modern software

Solid experience. It fulfills all of my needs. The extras will come, I'm confident.

PROS

If you're like me, you want to use a software that is most importantly reliable AND beautiful. I love what they did with the user interface. Booking appointments on the software is extremely easy, and new features are released periodically. They have a messaging center where we can quickly communicate with clients via SMS and a way to reach out to customer support quickly through their integration using INTERCOM chat.

CONS

I think the analytical reporting could be better. This might be something they can take from Booker's page. Some insight like how many customers are existing and how many are new would be great. How many booked online vs manual. Also, if they can integrate with Frederick or Emma, that would be awesome too. They are integrated with mailchimp which is nice.

Reason for choosing Boulevard

They allowed a trial where I could clearly see it's benefits. Meevo doesn't allow this at all. How can you trust a software company like that?!

Reasons for switching to Boulevard

Booker was purely unreliable. Period. So many issues and downtime.

Not for you if you need to integrate with Quickbooks, or like to see detailed appointment metric reports

I would change back to Mindbody in a second. Other than the online booking features MB has a flawless integration with Quickbooks (through flexbooks)

PROS

Online booking and clean calendar and client history (including appointments, payments, and services).

CONS

Quickbooks integration is terrible, time consuming and confusing and you have to do it on your own. Appointment metric reports are sub par. If you offer inhouse financing, you will not be able to input payment plans into BLVD. You will have to run payments manually each day which is time consuming. Onboarding people will tell you you can manage this via memberships, but this is not accurate because BLVD will take any membership payments as a new sale, so this will mess up your accounting.

Reason for choosing Boulevard

Basically for the ease of online booking, without being aware of the difficulty or impossibility of integrating with Quickbooks effectively.

Reasons for switching to Boulevard

For online booking features, and CRM integration.

Vendor Response

"Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We're sorry to hear that you had a hard time with the QuickBooks integration. We are already working on some improvements, and our product team will be reaching out to better understand your feedback.

Best POS Software!

Overall the experience has been outstanding. The team is always attentive & responsive. They come up with alternatives & suggestions to help improve your experience! The software is great as it can be easily accessible on multiple devices & internet!

PROS

Boulevard software is very user friendly, easy to use & convenient! It has reduced the duration of front desk trainig. It has also made the managers that are behind the chair, have a very enjoyable experience. I

CONS

Some of the items that seem like they should be easy to customize, are in face a little more. It makes sense when you realize that the interface is for all users and not just your specific location (s).

Reasons for switching to Boulevard

Shortcuts was outdated, slow & problematic. On Saturdays (the busiest day of the week), the server computer that would host all data, could potentially go down. You would then be stuck performing offline transactions & having to complete transactions twice!
