When you get busy it does the work for you. Also how it remembers prices that you change for certain clients. > > **Cons**: Honestly everything that I have had an issue with over the years has been addressed. So at some point you could cash out clients the same on the phone as the computer. > > If you are a big salon or small salon there is a place for your business. Salon Iris has shown me things that I might not have thought of ----- ### "Best booking app" — 5.0/5 > **Michelle** | *19 March 2026* | Consumer Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Very easy and user friendly\! I’ve been using the app for most of my career and I have no complaints. > > **Cons**: Nothing really. Maybe just able to see a full weeks schedule in one viewing on iPhone. Instead of 3 days > > I’ve been using it for 13 years since it was salon iris\! I am very comfortable and familiar with it. And I have used it from a stylist perspective, a salon owner perspective, and as a receptionist. And it is very easy to use. ----- ### "Just Don’t Do It" — 1.0/5 > **Tammy** | *13 January 2025* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 1.0/10 > > **Pros**: That you used to be able to talk to a human. > > **Cons**: Support is horrific - they left me down and stranded for over a week with chat support not having a clue. Slow. Doesn’t integrate with accounting software unless you PAY MORE Access to app for employees yup. PAY MORE For each one. The cloud version is horrific and doesn’t work at all. Want to use your lap top at home to do some accounting. Nope. You have to buy a second version so PAY MORE Oh and the second license is ALWAYS down and never ever works. So it’s completely unreliable and a waste of money\! This software has potential. But your pay a fortune and it doesn’t do anything more then acuity. In fact Acuity gives you unlimited everything for $17 a month and integrates with everything without having to pay. I am paying almost $500 Canadian a month. To date I have not switched because it’s a huge job. But now that you cannot get support and they have no issue leaving you high and dry. I am out. > > I used to “tolerate” them because they used to have good support. Now They don’t give a crap. The message on phone says we switched to fast efficient online support because it’s going to be faster and more efficient for you. It’s absurd. I am mad. ----- ### "Happy with this booking system\!" — 5.0/5 > **Stephanie** | *2 February 2026* | Consumer Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Very user friendly, scheduling appointments is super easy. You can adjust features that fit your needs. Love that we can pull up reports\! > > **Cons**: If the internet is down and trying to processing a payment it doesn’t work. The Clover machine will not work without the internet. Also on the mobile app sometimes it doesn’t show if they confirmed or not > > We have 9 of us at our salon that uses DaySmart booking and everyone likes the ease of navigating around it ----- ### "Easy to use and affordable" — 5.0/5 > **Rebecca** | *4 March 2026* | Cosmetics | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: It is really easy to use. I love the reminders that get sent out and that i can go through the reports to see how the business is growing > > **Cons**: That I dont get notification when someone cancels via txt and the appointment disappeared so I cant see who was booked there > > Overall I have found daysmart fantastic. I have never had trouble logging in no matter where I am. My appointments are easy to book and my clients love the reminder messages ----- Page: 1 / 18\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.nz/software/9167/Salon-Iris?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.nz/software/9167/Salon-Iris) ## 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 | | | it | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
