Online support is brilliant with manuals all being at a touch of a button. The telephone support is second too none, everyone is so friendly and helpful and they never make you feel like your asking a silly question. I am not a hairdresser personally and knew nothing and Representative held my hand and set everything up, the great thing is she is a hairdresser and they have a hairdressing business so they know what we need and to implement in. Seriously I couldn't of done it without her. Two way texting is amazing, the GAS has brought us amazing customers through our door without splashing out on loads of advertising but getting clients to recommend and they and their friends get an amazing offer. They have just started a weekly email to owner/managers regarding weekly targets which is totally fab as it saves time looking at different reports, its all produced on one email each week. Staff can access their own diary and see what clients they have and you can restrict on what can see and can't see and do. What more could you want, everything you need in one package at a very reasonable price. > > **Cons**: I will be glad when there is just one main system as we have to swap to the hub, but thats mainly because Im not very good at getting to grips of this other system. > > Two way texting has reduced no shows and late cancellations, GAS has given us a great marketing tools without spending lots on advertising. Advantage being able to monitor its results and the money it is bringing in. Overall its amazing. ----- ### "A comprehensive package, but slow and not always intuitive" — 3.0/5 > **James** | *29 January 2019* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: Highly configurable, generally easy to use, online access is good, a range of useful additional services (such as marketing emails). > > **Cons**: Can be very slow. Sometimes gives up when generating reports. Menus are confusing. Online booking/payment component is very dated and lacks configurability. > > It's been OK. Support is pretty helpful, but chat response is often slow or not there. Easier on the phone. ----- ### "Excellent" — 5.0/5 > **Jessica** | *11 November 2021* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Salon IQ is on top of it\! Every new feature you would hope for, they have come out with, their customer service is excellent as well. > > **Cons**: It is expensive, honestly though it’s today worth it so that isn’t much of a negative. > > Overall I love this software. I love being about to contact customer care 24/7 and the features they offer are too notch\!\! ----- ### "Restoring Faith in Salon IT Systems" — 5.0/5 > **Jezz** | *4 April 2019* | Consumer Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The team at Salon IQ just get it\! Fundamentally we liked the people, they are honest, genuine people who know the hair and beauty industry and have a superb product which works. They don't hide behind small print and lengthy contracts like many of the systems out there. The system works, it's easy to use and provides accurate information. It's cloud based so can be accessed remotely from anywhere, plus there are no additional licence fees for remote access. The install process is smooth, transitioning nearly all data across to Salon IQ from previous system. The support and install team are excellent, with a wealth of knowledge and they go the extra mile to ensure things are done perfectly. They don't sell hardware so you won't get stung by paying thousands for a PC which doesn't then do the job, as we experienced with previous suppliers. And if the PC crashes, you can access Salon IQ on any other system. We love the stock control app, making it easy to complete stock takes and we're loving the loyalty app. They appear to be working hard on future advances so all this sets us up well. > > **Cons**: Like all systems, there will always be the odd tweak or report which we'd like as bespoke, but we respect I-Salon's honest approach in trying to avoid inconsistent reports and when they think it won't work, they politely let us know, we appreciate that. > > We had a real problem with our previous supplier. Broken promises, failure to deliver, contractual issues and above all their management team's failure to understand our industry. Salon IQ in comparison has been a breathe of fresh air, great people to deal with and i look forward to many years of working together. ----- Page: 1 / 5\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/352725/saloniq?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/352725/saloniq) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
