Salon automation is the solution for every hairdresser who wants to give his/her salon a boost. With salon automation, you can save a lot of time on things you as a hair dresser have to deal with on a daily basis. Think, for instance, of managing appointments, administration, and marketing. Would you like the turnover of your hair salon to increase? You can easily increase it by automating your marketing. This way you can attract new customers or strengthen ties with existing ones. Or would you just like to spend as much time as possible with your customers and offer them the best service? Salon automation makes sure your phone doesn’t disturb you while you’re working. Read on and discover why every self-respecting hairdresser should get the salon automation for their hair salon.
The idea behind salon automation is that you use software to speed up processes or make them more effective. Managing your appointments, keeping customer cards, your administration, and recruiting new customers with a fun newsletter are a few examples.
Example:
Managing agenda without hair salon software
A simple example is scheduling an appointment. You could use a traditional paper agenda. In that case, you have to jot down the name of the customer and the treatment over and over again, and maybe even send the customer a reminder, well, if you’d like to minimize chances the customer doesn’t show up to your hair salon.
Managing agenda with hair salon software
With the software, you use a digital agenda, where all the customers’ information has already been noted, so you only have to select the service and the customer automatically receives an appointment confirmation and reminder. This way, you’ll not only lower the number of no-shows, you’ll also save an enormous amount of time and you’ll have a better overview of your agenda.
The combination of an online appointment system and the appointment reminders sent automatically to your customers, elevates the professional appearance of your hair salon. Besides, the number of no-shows decreases significantly.
The world is online more and more and even your customers are increasingly getting used to buying products and services online. You can easily react to this with an online agenda for hairdressers. With an online appointment system on your website, your customers can schedule an appointment for your hair salon directly via their phone, tablet, or computer. This way, you’ll save a lot of time and you’ll even be available 24/7. Our statistics show that more than 41.5% of the online appointments were made outside of regular business hours. As soon as you don’t use an online appointment system, you’ll miss out on many potential new appointments.

Good hair salon software includes a professional cash register program. With a clear and stable cash register program, you’ll be able to find much peace in your work. Are you still the hairdresser who has to sit down regularly with the paper receipts and still works with Excel spreadsheets? That’s really a thing of the past with a cash register program. You can easily settle appointments using the digital agenda, you can create digital receipts, and you can even send these per email to your customer. A good cash register program also provides you with the following options:
Are there any important features missing that you think are essential for your hairsalon? Send a message via the chat located in the bottom right corner and our customer service will let you know immediately whether our cash register program has this option.
Do you know how many of your customers return to your hair salon? And do you have any idea on average how often your customer visits you? These are figures that could help measure the success of your hair salon. With salon software, you’ll quickly have these figures in your overview and you can easily have the number of visitors to your salon increase by sending direct marketing emails.
With the customer filter in our software, you can, for example, see quickly when the last time a person visited your salon and which service and product (s)he then bought. The possibilities to have customers schedule a new appointment because of a targeted direct marketing email are endless.
