Invest In The Best Hair & Beauty Salon Software with Salon-iQ
Salon owners looking to make their lives easier need look no further than the team at Salon-iQ. Salon-iQ from Intelligent Salon Software is the latest generation of salon software from founders David Levine and Andrew Atherton. These two entrepreneurs have been at the forefront of salon technology for the past 20 years and continue to push the boundaries to ensure their software systems are fit for purpose and ready for future technologies.
It all began for iT expert David and computer programmer Andrew, in the early 1990s when they worked together developing and introducing software systems to chemists, newsagents, video game shops and hairdressing salons. They went on to develop Computill (later rebranded as i-salon), their first generation salon software system, which was snapped up by key players including Vidal Sassoon, Nicky Clarke, Haringtons, Zappas and Browns. By now, of course, David and Andrew had a unique insight into how to run a successful hair salon, so they decided to take on a new challenge. They sold the successful i-salon business in 2006 to focus on running a group of hair salons in Kent and called GREAT hairdressing. With six salons in the GREAT hairdressing group, it was important for the salons to be able to connect and talk to one another. Once again David and Andrew found themselves writing software to bring the technology up to date!
Make It Easier To Run Your Hair Salon With Salon-iQ Software Systems
David says: “We rekindled our love of technology and developed a system to connect our salons. Three years later we had 600 salons, including lots of salon groups, using our software. We test all our systems at GREAT hairdressing with a focus on creating systems that are easy to use and effective. No gimmicks – just proven technology.” Of course, along the way, David and Andrew have gained a great deal of knowledge on how to run a successful group of salons. David explains: “Business owners have a lot to deal with. We had to keep on top of our salon performance, run ranking reports, make sure the team was running effectively… We wanted a system that would make our lives easier so that’s exactly what we produced.”
