Pros

“The price is higher than all other platforms similar, I feel like if I have two locations we should be able to split sms msgs between both locations, I’m paying for them already and if I don’t use all in one location I should have ability to use at other location.”

Andrea R.

Owner

“Online booking has been great and the fact that we can requests deposits for first time client's and also give them a policy notice for no/shows-late appointment.”

Mario M.

Salon owner

“The ease of use, keeping track of clients history, notes, the chat feature in the desktop version, and the quick response from support if I need help with anything.”

Christina Q.

Owner Operator

Pros

“Meevo is more than just a point-of-sale or scheduling system — it’s a partner in our growth, helping us streamline processes, improve accountability, and enhance the guest and student experience.”

Philip W.

Clinic Classroom Education Specialist

“From daily use on the clinic classroom floor to administrative management across multiple campuses, Meevo has proven to be a reliable and innovative system that meets the complex needs of our organization.”

Philip W.

Clinic Classroom Education Specialist

“While we strive to deliver a WOW factor for every guest encounter, Meevo has delivered the ability to spoil spa staff with its ease of use and demonstrated functionality that enhances the customer's spa experience while delighting spa staff!”

Vicki M.

Technology Manager of Software, Licensing, and Compliance

Cons

“The only thing I wish I could fix about phorest is that phorest should automatically email the account holder when the inventory drops below the minimum quantity.”

Hailey S.

Owner

“The price is expensive, especially like I am one person and I pay $85 or something like that monthly so that’s lots for one person but as a group in Salon is a good price but not for me”

Felor D.

“some reports are a bit confusing, like the retention report. when you archive a guest, they still have the availability to book, but wont show on the appointment screen until you unarchive them.”

April A.

salon leader and marketing director

Cons

“Not user friendly; graphics are terrible colors and hard to read; unnecessary amount of clicks to do anything; should have a thin time line going across the active appts instead of thick green line at ends; no ability to set up appts for multiple days for a client with one transaction; it would be helpful to have a window pop up when booking or canceling an appt to tell you what future appts client has.”

Bobbi R.

Salon Coordinator

“Some applications are too complicated, some parts can be confusing to use, there are so many bells & whistles that sometimes the things that are basic operations get hard to find.”

Melissa g.

Owner

“When toggling between windows, I get kicked off Meevo fast, and some of the help tips are a bit confusing.”
