Introduction

Online appointment is an important detail that helps your beauty salon stand out among competitors. Nowadays, if a beauty parlor doesn't offer online appointments, it loses clients. Often if a person is ready to book a service, there is a possibility that she won't be comfortable calling and arranging a specific time. Sometimes people don't even want to talk to the administrator. Customers would like to book a service after their work and outside your salon's work hours (no one will call to book a manicure at midnight, but many will make an appointment online). As the system works 24/7, you won't lose any minute or any client.

When a client is not able to book a service at the desired moment, there is a huge possibility that she’ll change the salon. Why would you wait to book something if the nearest beauty salon offers to book right now? The final is pathetic – a beauty shop without salon scheduling software loses. But don’t worry; you can always upgrade and select the best software for your beauty salon. Let's talk about a salon booking system – a handy tool that allows online booking 24/7.

CRM is a software system used by businesses to manage and nurture customer relationships, track interactions, and improve overall customer satisfaction. It helps companies centralize customer data, streamline sales and marketing efforts, and enhance customer engagement for long-term success.

When choosing a CRM for a beauty salon, consider features like appointment scheduling, client database management, and marketing automation tailored to the beauty industry. Additionally, prioritize user-friendly interfaces, mobile accessibility, and integration capabilities with existing salon management software to ensure seamless operations and enhanced customer experience.

CRM allows free website creation. EasyWeek, for example, does it automatically. The website you get is fully customizable and easy to manage.

How to choose the best beauty salon software

There is so much salon system software, and sometimes it's difficult to understand what's the difference and which system suits your beauty shop best. It's better to select such a system according to several criteria:

  • Number of functions;

  • User-friendliness;

  • Update frequency;

  • Tech support;

  • Price;

  • Design.

And don’t forget to read reviews from real users. Clients usually tell all the bitter truth about the service and, of course, all the pluses as well. Before you decide on the salon system software, make sure you understand the services you’ll provide, the size of your business, staff, locations, etc. This way, you can choose the best tariff that suits your beauty parlor and won’t overpay. Every salon system gives you a set of tools: online booking, personal page, widget, etc. Your task is to select the software that suits your business best. EasyWeek, for example, is among the most popular salon management systems in the current market.
