5 Reasons Why Your Beauty Salon Business NEEDS a Mobile Solution
Going to a Beauty Salon is my favorite and the most dreaded time of the month. Favorite because I love the ‘me’ time. But, on the other hand, dreaded because I have to first go telephone number hunting and pray to all my Gods to get off the waiting line. And if that is not possible, then I have to travel all the way to the Salon to book an appointment and check out the prices. And even then I am uncertain about whether I would get the appointment at my desired time or not. *Sigh* I wish it was as easy as ordering pizza or booking a cab.
Marrying technology with a Salon is extremely crucial to welcome fresh change and innovation in the industry, and make beauty services easily accessible for tech savvy customers. Let’s face it! In this time and age, your Salon must have a fully functioning mobile and web based solution.
