Operations and Marketing Admin

I love the ease of booking for our clients, the ability to add promo codes at the time of booking, the responsiveness of the support team, the onboarding experience was top notch, the design is sleek and simple.

I would also like a drop down menu that would allow more details about salon guests, such as shop guest, referral, repeat, request, new request

Vogue Hair Studio Owner Operator

The Mangomint transfer couldn’t transfer over our business’s personal block time so we had to transfer over this data before opening our new schedule to clients.

Esthetician

I wish there were a few more features like a longer checkout period with the self checkout link which expires quickly, and better gap prevention on the online scheduling.

Spa Owner

If I could add one feature to MangoMint it would be automatic rebooking screen pop up as soon as payment is done on the terminal.

Administrative Receptionist

From the specific features of managing appointments, down to the email and text notifications, and it is so much more time saving and flexible than other applications I have used for reporting back to me and the patient.

Director of Non-Surgical Aesthetics and Injector

The integration for texting, marketing, calls and flows are intuitive and make our practice stand out from other aesthetic practices.

It’s a sleek, user-friendly platform that helps us run our studio more efficiently, and we love that the team is responsive to feedback. While the pricing and some add-on costs can be frustrating, the continuous improvements and strong support make it a valuable tool for our business.

Owner Operator

For example being able to sort by quantity in stock, being able to archive products, and being able to save a brand name the same way categories is set up (eliminate any change of typos).

Owner and Medical Director

There are occasional limitations with customization and reporting features, and some workflows require extra steps that could be more streamlined.

Practice Manager

I often have complex reporting questions and the team is often able to find a work around or add in that report to the interface for me.

Being able to send a text to complete the booking process so a card number does not need to be given over the phone.

Medical Office Assistant

I wish there was a feature, that when a technicians schedule is in week mode by just moving the appointment over to the last day, it would switch to the following week by being dragged, rather then changing the date on the right hand side appointment information.

Spa Director

MM doesn't have separate booking links for different locations, just one for all locations, and the client has to click the correct location.

Salon Owner, Bleach Specialist, Hairstylist Mentor

We also wish the two-way texting feature allowed conversations to be private between a provider and their client, instead of making every conversation visible to the entire salon team.

I could go on and on about each feature, because there are so many detailed and helpful ones from day to day business operations to appointment bookings.

Owner Salon

It has so many functions that make the work day so much smoother like internal messaging with clients and support for a great price.

The card readers are also finicky but I've had that issue with every card reader from every other booking platform/pos system I've used

Massage

It has a simple layout that makes it easy to book clients, fill out their soap notes and add files.

Clinical Support Specialist

I really enjoy Mangomint. When all of our systems seem outdated, it's nice to have a modern, colorful, and efficient way to schedule our patients.

Spa Owner and Esthetician

Updates are frequently made based on real needs and specific requests, which makes the platform feel tailored rather than generic.

Receptionist at Spa

Also would like the option for the customer to be able to add a tip on the client facing ipad if their total is $0 due to a prepayment.

Can assign different colors to each practitioner to visually keep appointments organized by practitioner.

Just a few features we have submitted that are important for us but we don't have a streamlined way of keeping track of them or knowing if they will be implemented.
