I bought software outright and they shut my access down when I canceled updates." — 1.0/5 > **Gloria** | *12 July 2017* | Consumer Services | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: it was what I used to but had many bugs, especially with updates. when I purchased software I got the business management part. They took it away never sent me a disk, and only downloaded it. It had some nice features but glad I'm not dealing with the rude guy in the support team. Some of the techs were pretty great and accommodating. > > **Cons**: any financials did not add up we were going by their calculation Reports and found some stylist were being paid for other stylist work some not getting paid at all for work that they should have. watch out for their reports they are different in various areas(reports) when they shouldn't. Tried to speak to Brad about various areas of problems he looks down on women. no couth\!\! got over charged a few times asked for money back , they said we would receive but didn't. had to stay on top of the company. I purchased the software it is mine for all intense purposes along with the business financials and they shut it down and I have no access to a 10 year client base and date. so all in all stay away > > Ran my business Reports when they were accurate but they got all messed up totally could have had a war on my hands from my stylist ----- ### "Salonware review" — 4.0/5 > **Yury** | *29 June 2016* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy to use, tech support. > > **Cons**: Not possible to send mass text messages. Only to one client at the time. > > Love the software, the customer service and tech support. Everyone at the company if very attentive and willing to solve any possible issue. ----- ### "Outstanding software" — 5.0/5 > **Lee** | *31 May 2016* > > I have used SalonSpaWare since 2000 when I owned a salon in Florida. Their support over the years has continued to be of the highest caliber. I have since sold my salon \& am doing booth rental now. It is still my go to software. The technicians are all so knowledgeable and very helpful and most of all, don't make this hairstylist of 50 years feel incompetent about the computer world. "The difference between good \& great is just a little extra effort." ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.nz/software/12546/salonware-spaware?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.nz/software/12546/salonware-spaware) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | ----- ## Structured Data
