For years, we've been frustrated with old-school appointment books. Too much time managing our appointments, not enough time doing what we love: hair! We'd spend months training yet another receptionist, only to have them leave, taking a chunk of our salon knowledge and culture with them.
We decided it was time. We had to free ourselves up from managing appointments and training receptionists and get on with taking care of our clients and growing our business.
Thanks to the rise in new technologies, online scheduling in other industries and use of the mobile Web, we knew the salon industry was ready for a change.
Meet salonMonster.
