A friend of mine is a licensed beautician but just moved to this area and is contemplating opening her own salon. She does not use the Internet very often so I have been doing some research for her and found a  pretty interesting website that I’ve sent to her, but just in case there’s anyone else out there thinking of going into business for themselves in the beauty industry – it is a website that sells products to help you run your salon efficiently – Milano. It provides salon software and spa software that keeps up with your appointments for as many rooms, beds, or stations as you have. It also manages credit card and gift card payments in addition to cash/check payments. One final feature that I find really neat is that it enables clients to book appointments online. This gives your customers 24/7 access to your buiness. As a busy mom, I would LOVE to have this option.

Being able to start your business organized is a great advantage and increases your likelihood of being successful in the long run. This is where Milano comes into play. Milano gives you the head start you need to be productive from the beginning. Being organized not only takes the stress off of you, but it will impress your customers increasing the chances that they will come back for repeat service.
