Pros

“We had a lot of struggles with our previous software program and the customer service from our Meevo team from implementation all the way through a year later to doing monthly meetings has been amazing.”

Morgan R.

Director of Spa and Guest Experience

“I require a lot of assistance to be able to use all the features and benefits that Meevo has and the team has given me the opportunity to pick their brain to use almost all of them.”

Morgan R.

Director of Spa and Guest Experience

“The fact that Brett, our client success manager, makes time on his schedule to meet with me every month is so important for our continued growth with the system.”

Morgan R.

Director of Spa and Guest Experience

Pros

“Overall, I do like using Aura and whenever I show our software to a new hire, they are so impressed with how paperless and tech-friendly everything is, especially the fact that we are able to text not only our stylists for a digital check in, but we can two-way-text with guests which is super helpful”

Leah F.

Salon Manager

“We requested a change in 2022 that would make this easier for the majority of users (to be exact, it was using hours instead of minutes, ie, 2hrs and 45 minutes of 165 minutes) and it took until 2025 to get it to happen.”

Jen G.

Salon owner

“My favorite thing about aura is that I can itemize and scan products up front for clients the checkout on their own phone.”

Alaina D.

Hairstylist

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.”

Lisa E.

Front desk

Cons

“Certain glitches in the calendars make it difficult to access things easily and haven’t yet been fixed. When you go to book an appointment, the calendar that shows in the sidebar doesn’t always respond to selecting certain things and you have to restart the process.”

Addie C.

Front Desk Receptionist

“I think there are areas that need tightening up and other areas that get attention paid but probably not helpful (classes in aura (vs having separate work activities for punching in for classes to track time/hourly rates), keeping sensitive data inside employee profiles, when we need to use a separate payroll service anyway, we don’t need social security numbers in aura).”

Jen G.

Salon owner

What I liked least was the lack of customization options for services like colors It felt very “one size fits all,” which didn’t work well for a multi-location setup like ours.
