Providing students with the training and education needed to help them prepare for life after school is essential, and your salon and spa software can offer an even greater educational experience.
Meevo 2 was designed to help beauty and wellness schools enhance their learning capabilities, improve efficiency, and teach students the business side of beauty – and our clients love the results:
“Meevo 2 has proven to be so much easier and more valuable for our team. They especially love how simple it is to multi-task in Meevo 2, enabling them to complete their tasks much faster.” — Katie Hobson, Director of Paul Mitchell The School Lombard
Let’s take a closer look at some of the unique features and resources available with Meevo 2 that has made it the go-to software for thousands of schools across the country!
1) Separate Student and Teacher Profiles
One of the most valuable Meevo 2 features available to schools is the ability to create student and teacher profiles separate from other staff members. Separate profiles let schools quickly outline daily activities for their students and teachers while also allowing teachers to be selected as overseers in service or product transactions.
And for multi-location schools, Meevo 2 lets you create student and teacher profiles at more than one location. Through your Central Office hub, managers can easily grant students and teachers permissions at another location, which creates the user profiles at that location.
Additionally, separate profiles allow schools to see unique schedules within Meevo 2 and in the appointment book for all students and teachers, improving visibility and making it much easier to track how your students perform, which leads us to benefit number 2…
2) Advanced Reporting
Millennium software led the way in business metrics and reporting within the beauty and wellness industry, and Meevo 2 continues to innovate with business analytics – especially for schools.
Easily keep track of student progress, schedules, tasks, and performance in Meevo 2 through powerful, industry-leading reports that display student and teacher metrics separately from other employees. This helps schools monitor both staff and student performance in real-time so leaders can make adjustments as needed to reach their goals – both for their business and students!
Let’s hear from one of our Paul Mitchell Schools’ about why they love Meevo 2 reports:
“Meevo 2’s reports are so simple to use, and I can customize them in many different ways, including by employee roles. I also love the Register—all it takes is one click to get services or products and provide credit to the correct stylist/student.” — Rhiannon Beach, Guest Services, Paul Mitchell The School Costa Mesa
3) Configurable Security Settings
Security controls are more valuable today than ever before for beauty and wellness businesses, and schools are no exception. Meevo 2’s advanced, configurable security features enable each school to tailor settings to their specific needs.
For example, you can choose to allow each student only to see their appointment book in Meevo 2 instead of the entire business’ book. You can also restrict student (and staff) off-site Meevo 2 usage by creating IP restrictions so students can only use the software when they are in your school.
You can even control which reports students can see and whether they can view other student/employee data or just their own!
4) Time Clock
Keeping track of student hours is an essential task for schools that can have ramifications if errors or discrepancies arise – and it can be even more challenging for schools that operate in multiple states where rules and regulations can vary.
Meevo 2 provides schools with a Time Clock to help automate clocking in and clocking out for students with rules to fit the state or states your school operates in, ensuring you accurately track student working hours in accordance with all local, state, and federal laws and regulations.
5) Training and Education Resources
In addition to powerful features that help schools grow and aid students in their preparation for their future careers, Meevo 2 also provides countless training and education resources that both schools and students can take advantage of at any time.
With Meevo 2, all schools gain access to:
Millennium Academy, our intuitive learning platform
Meevo 2 Certification courses
Free monthly webinars
On-demand training materials and videos
These resources enable schools to master Meevo 2 to grow their business, while students can take advantage of these resources to better understand the business side of beauty, further helping them develop the skills needed to thrive after they graduate.

AI is changing the way businesses operate, but in the beauty and wellness industry, one thing remains true: the human touch is irreplaceable.

This collaboration marks a significant step forward in streamlining operations for salons and independent beauty professionals, bringing together customer service with thoughtful intelligence.

Salon owners expected AI to deliver efficiency. What they didn't expect was what it did to their team, and what their clients started saying in reviews.

An AI platform already trusted by salons across Australia, Ireland and the UK is expanding to the United States, with a focus on the data-driven salon community.

Your Instagram may introduce your salon to new clients, but it's your digital footprint that seals the deal. Dawna Jarvis walks you through how clients are discovering you online and what to do to make sure you show up.

If your day-to-day feels like a never-ending game of whack-a-mole, you’re not alone. The hair and beauty industry runs on creativity and connection, but behind the scenes, it runs on systems. When you spread those systems across a few different tools (plus a couple of sticky notes and a prayer), even the best-run salons feel like they’re working twice as hard for the same results.

Fundraising for important industry iniatives and philanthropies just got much easier, with MeevoPay Giving, which allows salons, spas and med spas to invite guests to give at checkout.

Modern tools provide practical customer retention features. Discover which software platform can help increase your return rate.

Your salon software is the backbone of your business. And now is the time of year to evaluate its efficiency: Is it providing the tools you need to grow? Does it improve the guest experience? How does your team interact with it? Are you happy with your software’s customer service? If you’re not getting what you need from your current software, it may be time for a switch.
