As part of Salon Today’s annual Technology issue, we tap industry leaders for insight into how new systems are changing the ways in which the business of beauty is conducted. With more and more people depending on mobile devices in their personal and professional lives, we asked the pros how smart phones and tablets are shaping either salon and spa management practices or the client experience.
“Smart phones and tablets keep us connected…to our friends, family and an Internet full of information. With the right app, these devices can now keep salons connected to their clients allowing appointments-based commerce to take place 24/7. Clients get the ultimate convenience, and salon and spa owners are able to focus on happy clients.”
--Michael Wilson, director of business development, Schedulicity.
