Default New Salon Looking for Software

Hi,
I'm researching before taking the plunge and wondered if anyone was familiar with any software (inventory, timing, client management, etc. ~an all-in-one suite would be best) that was made vor a Mac machine?
If not, could you provide your favorite PC version of such?

Thanks in advance!

Everyone here has different opinions on the subject. We use Helios and never had any major problems with it.

Salontouch probably has the most features and is employee friendly for day to day operations, but you need to be fairly computer savy for it. Though one computer stand alone connected to your T-max is easy. When/if you network is when it gets interesting.

Here is the link for the features:

I've always used the Helios program--expensive but worth it. Soooooooo easy to operate--lots of features to run you salon. Can run beds, inventory program, tracking sales program, appointment sheet, reports, and so much more. There are also quite a few do dads that you can get--like a finger print pad so clients can press finger to pad and their info comes up, register management, picture on screen, i could go on and on. Their constantly updating too--its always working at 100% capacity and if you have a problem the tech support is fanfriggintastic. I totally recommend!!!!!

www.gohelios.com

I have never had a problem with mine. They walked me completely through start up and were very helpful and friendly. I don't find it to be very expensive at $49.99 a month.

You can cancel support with helios at anytime....the software is FREE. Just get to know the program inside and out first.
