Easy enough to use

we use it on a very basic level, it has so much more potential than what we utilise it for

PROS

it was easily customisable when first staring out with the software.

CONS

Some commands are difficult with a lot of steps to set up appointments. some of our development needs are not supported.

Reason for choosing Simple Salon

Easier to use for an older non computer generation

Simple Salon Review

I would like to see it be a bit easier to double book and never to crash again and I would think about recommending to other people

PROS

That I can use it on my phone

CONS

There has been 2 crashes and I was unable to see any appointments and one of the times was very close to Christmas the busiest time of the year Iv been paying for 2 columns because it’s to hard to use the double book feature It won’t let me double book where I need to.

Reason for choosing Simple Salon

Timely only gave me a 2 week trial and it was no where near enough

Customer service - face to face option

Using it as a basic booking system only. We have been able to implement the reply text confirmation but as yet nothing else is being used effectively.

PROS

I like that I can use it anywhere anytime (when I have service). I like the potential of the product.

CONS

The software has been in use as a basic booking system for years in the salon before I came on board. I would have liked to be able to have face to face training or be able to attend a course to increase the use across the board. Once I requested this earlier in my time with the company and I was directed to research it myself. I simply do not have the time or inclination to do this. We are a busy salon and time gets away from us. The task of research of the software is always on the list but always gets pushed when we have to look after our clients or staff. I would learn better if I could attend a course or if someone could come out and spend some time with me. In short, we are paying for a system and not using it to its full potential. I have been researching other software as I think if I set it up from scratch I would have a better understanding of it and it would benefit business growth.

Vendor Response

PROS
