I know what makes a successful salon business. You’ve got to know your craft and you’ve got to know your business is running smooth. I couldn’t do this without Salon Iris managing my Salons. It means you can concentrate on being great at what you do, and that means the money will chase you.

Information is vital for the success to any business. Without knowledge your business is nothing. Salon Iris has given me the wealth of knowledge required to make changes that have improved our bottom-line. Through my research prior to purchasing Salon Iris i found no other piece of software that gave me the ability to see our strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats at glance. By using this fantastic tool, we have created a true competitive advantage.

Since installing Salon Iris in our salon, our business practice has changed beyond recognition. Weekly Accounts now take seconds instead of hours.
The flexible sales reports have give us visibility, at a glance, of our sales year to date and have reduced accounting costs.
The ticket concept allows us to manage our client base more effectively. This now allows us to measure new and existing clients accurately, giving us a view of history of work done, formulas, future appointments and products used on one record card automatically. This also gives us the opportunity to promote the sale of products and secure future appointments at the checkout.
The before and after picture feature presents our clients with a professional consultation tool as well as a reminder of the last style achieved.
The reports available to us have given us the much needed visibility of our business, for example:
Average sale value now gives us a benchmark to see where our business is going.
Service breakdown reports allow us to actually see where our sales are coming from. We can now identify staff weakness, allowing personal training programs to be created.
Team meetings are now based on fact not guess work and reports on individual employees with actual sales has encouraged staff to become competitive with each other.
The introduction of the barcode scanner has given us the ability to produce our stock value in seconds.
Product reports helped us reduce our stock levels significantly, reporting only the products that actually sell as apposed to the products we thought sold.
These reports also helped us better managed our in house products, reducing the massive overhead of stocking only the product we use and not an entire range of colours and products available
Our salon has just had a major revamp which predictably increased sales which are now measurable.
Over all Salon Iris has not increase sales but gives us the visibility of our business which allowed us to make decisions based on fact, which in turn has allowed us to generate significantly more profit from our business.
As with any new process being introduced into the work place it was viewed nervously by our team, most of whom had never used a computer before. However Salon Iris has the same look and feel as our old book based paper system making the transition straight forward. The training and support offered by Salon Iris was excellent. You understood our business and encouraged us to “Just Ask” which we did!
We at Classic Look could not imagine running our business without Salon Iris and would recommend its use to any salon thinking of installing such a system.
Thanks again for your continuing support
Chris, Director at Classic Look
We have been using Salon Iris since December and first of all would like to say it is amazing! One of my biggest worries in opening was choosing a software package as there were so many out there. But I definitely made the right choice! It has made everything so much easier, from working out payroll and ledger to booking in clients. Our clients love the fact that we can keep a photographic log of their hair so if they want it again, we can match it exactly.
Joe, Evolve Salon & Spa
I am really appreciating the ease of use and depth of functionality of the programme. It is always refreshing to use a piece of software which has anticipated the needs of business – every time I wonder if it can do something that I need, I find that it can. Additionally its intuitive layout has meant that friends with no prior knowledge of the system (but admittedly fairly computer literate) have been able to perform the basic functions of entering appointments and closing tickets with little to no guidance. Well done and keep up the good work.
Sacha, Director at Floatopia
I would just like to comment on the superb value for money I feel your software solution provides. As a salon owner I can barely think of any functionality that I require, that it does not offer. And a business analyst (and previous developer) for Debenhams, I find the application to be exceedingly well polished, user friendly with excellent reporting capability (with great add on SQL capability to create your own), and fantastic extras (like text messaging and gift card options). I looked at quite a few other applications before deciding upon your own, and either they lacked essential functionality or they were much much more expensive than your own solution! I would highly recommend this to any other salon.
