If you are still using a paper book instead of salon software, you lose precious time with paperwork all day long. Time is money, lots of money. Here are the numbers!
Here is an example of how much time you lose: Your client calls for an appointment and you make the appointment in your book. When your client arrives, you spend time pulling their card to see previous notes and formulations and discussing what they need today. After performing the service, you compute the bill, adding services, products, taxes and tips. And don't forget updating that card and re-filing it!
Total time spent processing your client's paperwork is estimated as approximately 7 minutes per client and that does not include calls to change appointments! When you multiply 7 minutes times the number of clients per day, say 8, you lose 56 minutes per day per stylist! If you or your stylist normally makes $50.00/hour, you lost approximately $45. per stylist per day. That means you are losing approximately $1000/month/stylist! Computerization pays for itself AND continues to make you money!
You are paying for salon software every day whether you have a computer or not! Multiply $1000/month times the number of stylists you have in your salon!
