In the onboarding meeting with a new salon, we always go through which tools are worth adding to your tablets – but if you’ve been with us a while, it’s worth thinking it through again! Get inspired by what other salons use – steal with pride!
Let’s start by looking at which apps you use daily or often. Many salons choose a few of the following
Booking and payment systems – the backbone of many hairdressers’ daily routine. See your schedule and manage customers. Rebook the client and take payment while they’re still in the chair.
Chrome browser – search for inspiration photos together with the client to make sure you’re both on the same page about the look, or find other information.
Instagram – show your own feed to support the consultation.
Facebook – show your own feed or use other features.
Spotify – control the salon’s music easily.
Sound and lighting system apps – handy for controlling Bluetooth or Wi-Fi speakers and connected lighting.
Robot vacuum app – lets everyone in the salon control the robot vacuum.
Alarm system app – add new personal codes or manage schedules.
Pinterest – access your own curated inspiration gallery.
Supplier apps – L’Oréal, Wella or other suppliers’ own apps.
Microsoft Office – do you use Teams, Outlook or other Microsoft apps?
Google Suite – if you use Google’s apps, such as Google Drive.
Canva – a handy app for creating marketing material and presentations.
You can also get quick access to information – here are a few suggestions
Websites – go straight to suppliers’ websites and training material
Staff information – cleaning schedules, routines and instructions. Invitations to after-work drinks or the summer party – you know what you want to share!
As you can see, the possibilities are almost endless – you decide what you need! Want to add something to your tablet? Get in touch with us at hello@digmi.se
