    Pros
    Iris has been a godsend as far as what you have the ability to customize and see. The detail is incredible compared to all other booking systems.
    User friendly, and when you need help they are happy to help how we can add multiple separate users to the account.
    Their technicians are friendly, patient and most help you even with things like the printer and other things.
    Cons
    Being incapable of changing a service provider after it has been closed out is a problem, along with not being able to combine a family at checkout.
    This merchant account system is AWFUL. It’s not easy to set up, very slow and support is very bad -READ THEIR REVIEWS FIRST.
    It is frustrating now that we have changed to the cloud based system that there is sometime a lag in switching from screen to screen.

    Salon Iris Review

    Reviewed 3 years ago

    It's great that the client can have an interaction with the software Having the ability to view the appointment book without being in the salon

    Pros

    The ease of use, can be used immediately after unpacking Keep track of your financial health Tracks your product usage Gives you a great database of your clientele

    Cons

    When there is no internet, you cannot view your appointment book If the server is down so is the client (if you have more than one computer) No manual Too many add on's that cost you additional funds Weekly total's have to be done one day at a time No loyalty discounts for continued purchasing

    Owner/operator

    Reviewed a year ago

    They are always friendly but don’t listen to the customer that keeps them in business,

    Pros

    Customer service and having a software that has been around a while.

    Cons

    This software is very very very dated. Stylist are now require deposits charged before booking a appointment, require you to pay for the entire appointment in some cases and charging for no shows instantly. I have complained and complained yet they continue to add features that they can make money off of instead of catering to our request. It’s my third time returning and was told it was better and found out that wasn’t true. I am very unhappy with salon iris and as soon as I can find something that caters to the new age way of handling my salon then I’m leaving. I have spoke to [SENSITIVE CONTENT] several time month after month and it’s hopeless. Shame

    Great salon software!

    Reviewed 3 years ago

    As a salon owner I’ve searched for years for the PERFECT software. While there is no one perfect fit, Salon Iris fits the bill for us the closest! We have as many as 25 stylists a day to keep track of. This software makes it so easy to keep track of appointments and what rooms are needed to use. Appointments can be color coded depending on what service it is. Stylists can easily edit and book appointments...

    Pros

    Easy to use with options of drag and drop appointments, can schedule multiple stylists, can book different rooms for different services, email client receipts, appointment reminders.

    Cons

    Nothing! It’s been great! I haven’t found anything that I haven’t liked. Been using it for 8 months and am still happy with it.

    We love Salon Iris!

    Reviewed 3 years ago

    Our experience with Salon Iris has been really great, with expanding to multiple stylists it has been very easy transforming to online booking since we do not have a receptionist.

    Pros

    My team and myself love salon Iris and the features that provides. We most importantly love that it automatically sends out reminders to clients at the time of booking. It also makes it really easy as a owner that I can make appointments from my phone for not just myself that all of my employees.

    Cons

    While Salon Iris does have most features we like there are a few features that it is missing. For example, we would like to be able to go in and re-send text messages and see what text messages were sent. We would also like the option that if someone is booking a service with multiple people in the salon we would be able to book that all at one time instead of having to go make the appointment separately with each person. Lastly, when checking out it would be nice to have a way to edit the transaction instead of needing to completely void out the transaction if cash is accidentally hit instead of card.
