Salon Today's Guide to Salon Technology
presented by
In today’s ever-changing world, technology plays a strong role in the way successful owners lead their salons—from the way they book and manage appointments; motivate, engage and measure team members; manage and order inventory; communicate with clients and reward their loyalty; and market to their various communities. In essence, technology serves as your right-hand manager.
Technology also helps salons adapt to change more quickly, and never has that been more essential that this year as salons faced lengthy shutdowns from COVID-19 and complicated reopenings. From communicating with clients and selling curbside retail and gift cards when they were closed to educating team members and clients about new policies and procedures as they’ve reopened, technology has assisted salons as they have had to reshape the narrative of the client experience.
The world of technology changes more rapidly than any other area of the professional beauty industry. New companies with fresh ideas constantly are entering the market, while existing companies continually expand on their offerings. Each year, SALON TODAY produces a Technology Guide that helps salons compare and contrast the different programs and their features, so you can decide which are the best digital products to add to your management toolbox.
Meet Your Stylist is a fun, easy, and accurate match-making experience that converts website visitors into lifetime clients! When guests take your survey, they’ll be matched with the top three stylists on your salon team based on their own unique needs and preferences. We go above and beyond level of experience or expertise in order to match clients up with the stylists that are going to be the best fit for their overall lifestyle and personality.

"As a salon owner, I have I chosen to partner with companies that not only support me in good times but also are there for me when it’s hard. During our COVID closure, our company was grateful for the support of Envision Software. We decided to upgrade to their MedSpa version and invest in their custom client app.
The support team was quick to respond to our needs through the process. Partnering with Envision has elevated
our client’s perception of our business. We are now a paperless salon with the capability to manage all aspects of our company at a higher level of professionalism than ever before. Envision is a company that we can depend on to elevate our client experience and help our business grow." - Mandy McCullough, Owner Fix Salon Seattle

"The customer service we received from STX was incredible. Every call to STX customer support was answered immediately and resolution within minutes. STX has been the hands-down easiest vendor to contact and no other company has matched their ability to talk to a live person within 60 seconds of calling. The appointment booking features are super intuitive and we love the scheduling tool’s design to maximize our schedules and find appointments of the best fit. Before opening, STX was able to load all of our retail information into our system. We were able to scan products the first day and start to account for inventory. The reporting is INCREDIBLE, the options are limitless. We particularly love the options around inventory. We are able to order product without glancing at our retail shelves!" - Mark Debolt & Ryan Trygstad, Mark Ryan Salon

In today’s ever-changing world, technology plays a strong role in the way successful owners lead their salons—from the way they book and manage appointments; motivate, engage and measure team members; manage and order inventory; communicate with clients and reward their loyalty; and market to their various communities. In essence, technology serves as your right-hand manager.
Technology also helps salons adapt to change more quickly, and never has that been more essential that this year as salons faced lengthy shutdowns from COVID-19 and complicated reopenings. From communicating with clients and selling curbside retail and gift cards when they were closed to educating team members and clients about new policies and procedures as they’ve reopened, technology has assisted salons as they have had to reshape the narrative of the client experience.
The world of technology changes more rapidly than any other area of the professional beauty industry. New companies with fresh ideas constantly are entering the market, while existing companies continually expand on their offerings. Each year, SALON TODAY produces a Technology Guide that helps salons compare and contrast the different programs and their features, so you can decide which are the best digital products to add to your management toolbox.

"As a salon owner, I have I chosen to partner with companies that not only support me in good times but also are there for me when it’s hard. During our COVID closure, our company was grateful for the support of Envision Software. We decided to upgrade to their MedSpa version and invest in their custom client app. The support team was quick to respond to our needs through the process. Partnering with Envision has elevated our client’s perception of our business. We are now a paperless salon with the capability to manage all aspects of
our company at a higher level of professionalism than ever before. Envision is a company that we can depend on to elevate our client experience." - Mandy McCullough, Owner Fix Salon Seattle

It takes about 10 minutes to feel comfortable with it and they have made some great improvements while we've been using it. It's also nice not to have to worry about data backups or hosting a server." - Brad Hess, Mary Hess Studio

"A totally touchless way for me to interact with my clients and recommend their favorite hair care products — we have been using SalonInteractive since March. It literally took me minutes to set up and I was immediately earning income.
SalonInteractive also gives me my own website, which helps me gain new clients. The features are so easy to use. SalonInteractive makes it so easy to trace and keep track of all of my commissions in a downloadable Excel file or right on their web platform. SalonInteractive worked for me and my business and I know it will work for yours!" - Heather Cohen, b.LUXE Hair & Makeup Studio

"The customer service we received from STX was incredible. Every call to STX customer support was answered immediately and resolution within minutes. STX has been the hands-down easiest vendor to contact and no other company has matched their ability to talk to a live person within 60 seconds of calling. The appointment booking features are super intuitive and we love the scheduling tool’s design to maximize our schedules and find appointments of the best fit. Before opening, STX was able to load all of our retail information into our system. We were able to scan products the first day and start to account for inventory. The reporting is incredible, the options are limitless. We love the options around inventory. We are able to order product without glancing at our retail shelves!" - Mark Debolt & Ryan Trygstad, Mark Ryan Salon
