### Most mentioned pros

- It syncs with Aveda and fairly easy to use and teach new users

### Most mentioned cons

- Frequent and lengthy system crashes, unreachable and unhelpful customer service, numerous glitches almost daily, limited report customization, waitlist only allows for one service per client and only lets you put them on the list for a maximum of one month, still deletes appointment notes when moving clients around on the books after sending in multiple complaints
- Customer service only answers text - that is an issue when you need emails answered
- Their customer support team is very helpful, but the frequency in which we have to contact them is pretty ridiculous.

### Great Software...If They Fix the Glitches

- Overall rating: 3/5
- Reviewer: Mary Lou M.
- Verified reviewer: Yes
- Industry: Cosmetics
- Company size: 11-50 employees
- Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years
- Reviewed: January 2024
- Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered

It's "okay". I feel like there has to be something out there that has fewer glitches and better support during the hours we may need it. We are open for three hours before they even open.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 3/5
- Value for money: 3/5
- Customer support: 1/5
- Functionality: 5/5

#### Pros

I love the reports, it allows me to see what's going on in my business.

#### Cons

- I was expecting premium service as I was told this was premium software. - The system has went down several times in the past 2.5 years we have been using it. - Service providers often don't get their notifications. - Support is lacking, especially for us on the east coast. - Can't call to get "real time" support. If you do get someone on the phone, they are usually very polite though. - Takes forever for them to get back to you and when they do, they want you to do more work. Give them "more examples of the problem". - As a Canadian client, I don't like paying in US$ as it fluctuates. Honestly, I wouldn't even mind that so much if we didn't have so many little problems. - At one time, they apparently forgot to click the box that says "Canadian" for pricing and all my products were being sold as US$ prices but in Canadian dollars!!

#### Reasons for choosing SalonBiz

Again, I went with the recommendation because they are supposed to be integrated with Aveda.

#### Reasons for switching to SalonBiz

I was told that Salonbiz is one of the best for Aveda salons. Why wouldn't you want a premium software for your premium brand?

### Salon / Spa Biz

- Overall rating: 5/5
- Reviewer: Kevin T.

- Industry: Consumer Services
- Company size: Self-Employed
- Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years
- Reviewed: July 2021
- Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered

I’d 100% recommend this to a salon or spa that has hourly and commission service providers. It’s not for smaller fledgling establishments.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Customer support: 5/5
- Functionality: 5/5

#### Pros

It’s an all in one software that literally allows you to setup, run and manage your salon / spa. The most comprehensive of them out there.

#### Cons

With it being so comprehensive, I found that it was quite a bit of overkill for me, a suite renter with no employees. That being said, their smallest subscription is for 3 users. And it’s on the costly side.

#### Reasons for choosing SalonBiz

I wanted to go all in to see if it were to help me build my business at a reasonable cost.

#### Reasons for switching to SalonBiz

I wanted to experience SalonBiz to see how well it fit in my business.

Overall it is great, I would not use anything else! We all went through a great deal last year and we have not recovered completely, it will take time to be what we were and know where we are all going...

#### Ratings breakdown

#### Pros

It was easy to learn and use. They are innovative and directly aligned with Aveda which helps me as an Aveda Salon. They stay on top of the industry needs and provide us with good service on how to use the software.

#### Cons

Not alway impressed with the customer support. Wait times can be extremely lengthy and not always helpful. I feel the new updates from enterprise to central are not delivered consistently and at times not on the spot. Do not get me wrong, I love Salon Biz, I just feel at times they need to be more consistent with support

#### Reasons for switching to SalonBiz

We had Salon Biz in the past and switched to Salon Iris when Salon Biz was not able to link multi locations together in 2004/2005. When we united two new locations in 20011/2012 the program had changed and once again we went with Salon Biz and have been with them thru this current date.

Overall it is a good software to use with it's different pros and cons. I like that it is an easy system to learn and easy screens to navigate through.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 3/5
- Value for money: 3/5

#### Pros

It is easy to navigate through the software and the picture icons are a nice bonus. If you don't know what the icon means just hover your mouse over it and it says the name of the icon/what or does. I personally think that is helpful as pictures are easier on the eyes.

#### Cons

Does not allow you to move appointments around with ease as I normally have to go out of the appointment and then go back in to edit it again. You are also no longer able to call salonbiz and have them reopen it when there is a ticket error. Therefore, it should allow us to edit tickets right away without having to contact someone.

### A Critical Failure in Quality and Reliability

- Overall rating: 1/5
- Reviewer: Mary G.
- Verified reviewer: Yes
- Industry: Cosmetics
- Company size: 11-50 employees
- Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years
- Reviewed: March 2023
- Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered

In this industry, we rely heavily on our booking systems to properly handle our schedules and reports. It's the backbone of the business. When you commit and pay a large monthly fee for your booking software, you'd expect it to be reliable and take excellent care of your files and data. SalonBiz (more specifically after the 2021 update from Enterprise) has been a consistent beacon of stress and frustration for my entire staff. Aside from the 5+ system crashes in the past two years (one being multiple days long, causing us to have to work extended hours to maintain accuracy with our scheduling and checkouts manually, offline), the glitchy messaging platform, and numerous limitations with reporting, their customer service has also proven to be tremendously subpar. After sending in a great deal of reports trying find a solution for endless glitches including, but not limited to: deleted client notes, inability to reschedule clients because of "system error", timing and service restrictions when adding to the waitlist, and inability to compute and save service/request types, we have received little to no assistance or willingness from SalonBiz's customer support team to dive in and resolve said issues . Do not purchase SalonBiz for your business if you value consistency and reliability! I understand that accidents happen, but when they occur this frequently and profoundly, I lose my patience. I am truly shocked in the lack of quality and customer care.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 2/5
- Value for money: 1/5
- Customer support: 1/5
- Functionality: 3/5

#### Pros

Integration with Aveda+ Rewards and ability to customize aesthetics.

#### Cons

Frequent and lengthy system crashes, unreachable and unhelpful customer service, numerous glitches almost daily, limited report customization, waitlist only allows for one service per client and only lets you put them on the list for a maximum of one month, still deletes appointment notes when moving clients around on the books after sending in multiple complaints

#### Reasons for choosing SalonBiz

We had already been with them for 8+ years before the system update from Enterprise and trusted them to improve and keep our data safe, to no avail. We are in contact with other salons that have already switched to new systems for similar reasons and will now be following suit.

Great! I'd recommend Salonbiz to any spa. The new features with Central are pretty much up to date and makes it easier to train someone to work the desk, even if just for a day. Inventory is a category I've yet to master as I switch back between Backoffice and Central frequently. Booking features are pretty simple and the smart features include is definitely an awesome touch!

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 4/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Customer support: 5/5
- Functionality: 4/5

#### Pros

The booking software is easy to navigate (even for those not so tech-savy). Drag and drop feature is a game changer!

#### Cons

Central is quite easy to navigate overall. With all the different tabs and/or categories available on the left hand side, although it doesn't happen often, I tend to get lost with where I need to go to find a feature. I could see where this may be troubling for someone new trying to understand where all features are located. In addition, I feel blocking the schedule has gotten easier. However, I've stumbled across some hiccups when blocking the day, multiple staffs or blocking a block of a day if I'm not currently on that exact same day.

#### Reasons for choosing SalonBiz

We've worked with SalonBiz before (personally have worked Salonbiz going on 7 years) and would 100% Salonbiz now with the new upgrades with Central!

### Our experience is great having customer support at our finger tips 24/7!

- Overall rating: 4/5
- Reviewer: Lauren C.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 3/5
- Value for money: 3/5
- Customer support: 5/5
- Functionality: 3/5

#### Pros

Mobility- We are able to take care of clients in a more mobile fashion in this fast paced world we live in. I pads and phones can be used in salon and out of the salon to take care of client and staff needs. Unity- We are able to unify our staff and client data base so if a client visits more than one location we can still give our staff commissions and the clients file can easily be viewed to look up history. Call Center- we are able to handle clients from one central location. Power outages- If one location looses power we can still operate without falling behind on daily book keeping. Customer Support- Customer support is always available and quick to respond to needs, they also have a friendly southern hospitality that is so refreshing! ;-) Promotions- Its easy to add a discount code and use the auto discount feature when running certain sales. Inventory- We just dove into inventory but it is pretty simple and user friendly to count your items in stock. Online Booking- Seems to be an easy function for our clients and helps fill in the day when there is availability.

#### Cons

Reports in general are overwhelming & not productive time wise- Being able to find what you are looking for without going to several different reports and having to export and sort is time consuming. Finding service provider benchmarks all in one report would be nice. It becomes confusing for the staff to know where to look to reach their goals when having to go to several places to find out how they are doing on their own. Having to build our our payroll report to show service providers what they are getting paid, custom reports very costly but seems to be the only solution for important aspects of our operation. Staff documentation- There is no where to document an employees timeline such as promotions, write ups, transfers in their file. Pop up notes- Takes to long to get into a pop up note and it is not an easy read format... better format and entry would be awesome for helping clients more effectively.

#### Vendor response

Hi Lauren. We love to hear to hear feedback like this! Especially where we can make improvements. It seems as though no two salons are alike when it comes to benchmarking so we¿re working on something we feel could make everyone happy. We¿ll fill you in soon.

I LOVE the integration with Aveda, Aveda+ Rewards!

#### Cons

Lots of clicking to make an appointment and close a sale. I find the inventory entry easy, quick and user friendlier than other software I have used. I wish there was an option to enter several products together in the same family instead of single entry.

#### Reasons for choosing SalonBiz

Integration with Aveda. Price
