Technology in the Salon Industry with Micki DeJean from Envision

“Salon owners require the mobility offered by web-based software and mobile apps, while clients are growing accustomed to doing everything from their phone, like search for businesses and instantly booking appointments. Continual enhancements to web services will accommodate the increasing use of mobile phones and tablets over desktop hardware.

Web-based software like EnvisionCloud allows owners and staff to manage their business at the chair and on the go. Clients can book appointments at any time and confirm appointments with a simple text.

This mobile shift heightens customer service in the salon, and gives clients the freedom to connect with the salon on their schedule.”

--Micki DeJean, Sales & Marketing Manager, Envision Salon & Spa Software
