"underwhelmed"

Comments: The website fit our needs as a low cost way to achieve online booking .
Overall we are just underwhelmed.

Pros: I liked the option to have so many photos available but have found they are not really representative of our salon.
Is Fairly easy to use and doesn't cost much.

Cons: It may be our level of tech savy but it has become stale and uninteresting

Hi Stephanie,

Thanks for your feedback. We take pride in being an easy to use, affordable option for online booking, client management and marketing for Beauty Industry professionals. It's great to hear that you feel that we have succeeded there.

Also glad you like how many photos and graphics are available for posting on your website and marketing materials. We try to provide great imagery for all beauty industry businesses but if they aren't exactly your style you can customize the graphics everywhere on your site and marketing materials. You can take your own or download images from a stock photo site for a few dollars each.

We would love to hear more about what you find underwhelming in SalonBuilder. We highly value our members feedback and are constantly evolving our system to fit your needs.

"Best customer service will a personal touch"

Comments: Most attentive team with a personal touch.
My business is valued and they go out of their way to work with me.
Great with response and just a good family run operation that is an amazing value for the money.
The constantly impress me. I’ve been working with them for many years and will continue to grow with them!

Pros: I use this for website purpose and seo.
They are continuously trying to improve their booking/ scheduling system.

Cons: The scheduling is evolving and I hope to one day use them for fully integrated payment system with booking.

"SalonBuilder Powers Your Web Experience"

Comments: This tool allows us to put a presence of our business on the web to inform our customers of hours of operation, specials taking place, current employee information, etc.

Pros: The software is intuitive on set up. You do not need an advance computer degree to get started setting up a professional website for your business.

Cons: It seems to be cookie cutter. Would like to have more options for customization of the web page layouts

Vendor Response

by E-laborative Technologies on 2019/05/22

Hi Dale,

Thanks for your great review! Glad you are utilizing SalonBuilder to notify your clients about your specials, offerings and current employee details. It appears you are using one of our legacy designs that has a little more limited customization. We recommend you update to a Responsive Design which offers many new features and custom options.

"Great"

Pros: Get help when needed. Pretty user friendly.

Cons: Easier to change. More options. Alittle slow to change items.

Vendor Response

by E-laborative Technologies on 2019/05/16

Hi Connie,

Often your internet connection speed can affect how quickly changes take effect since SalonBuilder is a cloud based web system. If you continue to experience slow speeds and it seems isolated to SalonBuilder.com (you have faster speeds on other sites) please reach out to customer support so we can assist you with troubleshooting what could be causing the slowness.

If you have any additional comments about what options you would like to see please submit a support ticket with your request. We are always doing our best to accommodate requests but we need a little more information to help you here.

"Salon owner"

Comments: It was better at first when you could talk to someone.

Pros: It’s easy to use mostly. The graphics are nice and the features are great for the money.

Cons: I’ve called and left several messages because I need help with something and no one has called back. I’m thinking of disconnecting the service.

Vendor Response

Hi Lauren, It's great to hear that you are satisfied with the graphics and features of SB and that you feel like they are a great value.

We are so sorry you were not able to get in touch with someone as quickly as you wanted. After speaking with you today, we made a quick photo update to your slideshow. At SalonBuilder we pride ourselves on outstanding customer support. We don't send our customers off to a call center across the globe. Sometimes that means you will get our voicemail and we do our very best to return all calls within 1 business day. Emailing [email protected] is a great option for a fast response. Seems like we didn't live up to our high standards of Customer Care in this case. Thank you for the honest feedback.

"Great Customer Service"

Comments: SalonBuilder has gone above my expectations to help make my site look the way I want it to without charging me extra. I really appreciate the work they put into it. When I am ready, I will likely use their services to truly customize my site.

Pros: I like that for a low price I get a website that is able to handle appt booking for me.

Cons: It takes a lot of time to set up the website, but that is because there are so many features.

Vendor Response

by E-laborative Technologies on 2019/05/21

Thanks Monica,

Happy to hear that your experience with SalonBuilder has been so great. We are not a company who 'nickle-and-dimes' our clients. Glad the appointment booking is working great for you too.

For anyone who needs help with setup we offer a Free Site Setup option that will help you get your services, staff and information onto the site quickly. Then you can manage and update everything using easy point and click tools 24/7.

"Salon Eleven"

Comments: I have gained new clients that have found me through my website. I rent a suite where there are over 20 other renters and I feel my website sets me apart from all the other renters.

Pros: I am not tech savvy in any way however it was so easy to build my website. It’s been almost a year and I am still happy with the way it looks. Many clients have complimented me on mt website. It has such a professional look. Also it’s a great value for the cost.

Cons: I can’t say that there was one con in the whole process.

"SalonBuilder Review"

Comments: Customer Service with the support team is amazing. The representative is patient and understanding to a non techie, like me. Never being unkind in her communication to me. Always returns calls.

Pros: The best thing for me, was actually building the site yourself without having the experience. That helped me in my decision in committing to choosing SalonBuilder.

Cons: I don’t like the new updates as much as before.

Vendor Response

by E-laborative Technologies on 2019/05/21

Thanks for your feedback Judy. We know how hard it can be to re-learn how to do things but the updates made last year were focused on making the system more intuitive and user-friendly and helping everyone understand how many great options, tools and features are available with your membership. Our video tutorial section covers all the editing tools and sections and of course we are here to help anytime you have a question or need assistance. Sometimes in this fast paced world, you just need someone to talk you through something and we are happy to offer that to our members at no extra cost.

"Great customer support"

Comments: I like that it boosts my online presence and links with other networks, like Facebbok

Pros: Its easy to use and the customer support is fantastic

Cons: Wish they had a better selection of men & womens photos to use on website

Vendor Response

by E-laborative Technologies on 2019/05/21

Hi Diane,

It's great to hear that the social networking integration is working well for you. SalonBuilder sites often rank on the first pages of Google Searches but Social Networks are also a valuable way to gather new clients.

We will continue to add new imagery and will make a note that you have requested more men and women. Also, keep in mind, anytime you want a certain type of photo that you don't see you can purchase one for a few dollars on a stock photo site and upload it to use for your website or marketing materials.

"Member since 2007 Love it!"

Comments: My experience with Salon Builder has been incredible! Customer service is superb! [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] along with the staff are so reliable and has been so patient with me for many years. Currently we're rebranding our Salon and Salon Builder has been eager to assist me with everything from online appointment booking, setting up online booking, graphics brand logo, customizing photos, product sales and more. When I first started with this web hosting site I had my front desk person to handle setup assuming I lacked marketing skills thinking it was hard to navigate. Now in 2020 as I'm rebranding I love the website even more with the many up to date features. I know my review is long and I must say overdue but during this quarantine due to Covid-19 I had to express my appreciation for the love and support over the years. Thank you so much Salon Builder Team!!!

Pros: I love the simplicity of navigating and managing pages with easy and the capability of editing tools 24/7 when re branding. The use of beautiful up to date changeable website templates to create a professional website instantly without paying a lot. A SEO that enhanced my online presence with high rankings. Free domain, hosting, listing and emails adds value for my money. This website increases client retention rates and search results our clients tells us how they found us. The marketing aspect is amazing, appointment system and SMS texting with an mobile version has again simplified my life so I can focus on the clients.

Cons: This Software is amazing there's nothing I like least.

"Recommend highly ! & Accessible for help when you need it."

Comments: This team goes over and above the call of duty to make sure you get it ! If you have a question they get right back to you not like all the other systems. I'm extremely happy and recommend.

Pros: I can't say enough about what your getting and for the price your getting it for!!! Everyday I find another facet of this system and I'm wowed ! nothing else compares. I have been with salon for over 10 years and I had been lead astray by another once never again it only took me a couple of months to realize it was a big mistake leaving. They welcomed me back with open arms . This team goes over and above the call of duty to make sure you get it ! If you have a question they get right back to you not like all the other systems. I'm extremely happy and recommend.

Cons: I don't have anything to say but it waont submit without something ion this box

Thank you Pilar. We never blame our members for trying out the competition and very often get return members who come back once they realize all the great features and options that are included in a very affordable membership. We do everything we can to make sure your website is a vehicle for making you money instead of something that costs you money. Utilizing all the included features in SalonBuilder makes that easy to do.

"Salon Builder for Tanning Salon"

Comments: I have total control over the content of my website and the ability to change it at any time. I've been using the software for almost 10 years.

Pros: Easy to set up and make changes.
I can customize the tabs and features month to month.
Customer service is usually quick to respond.

Cons: Gift Card option was not as easy to set up, customize and use. Switched to another software for gift cards.
Some improvements to mobile use, but still not as polished and easy to view and use as I would like. Most photos provided are geared toward hair and not so much tanning. I would like to be able to edit the product page myself. My products are usually not in the list and I have to get it completed by customer service.

Vendor Response

Hi Mary, It's nice to hear you have had an easy time updating your website and features over the years. Your constructive feedback is valuable to us. Sorry to hear you were not satisfied with the Gift Card options. We have a large library of printable gift certificate designs that you can choose your favorites and turn the rest off, or there is always the option to have a custom matching gift card designed to keep consistent with your business branding.

As we have mentioned to many reviewers, the new Responsive Designs have a greatly improved mobile website which I think you would love! You are still using a standard design so you may consider updating that if you aren't satisfied with the look of your Mobile Site.

"I Love It!!"

Comments: Overall I really like the website. It has freed up alot of my time for scheduling appts for clients vs. other apps i have used .

Pros: I like the ease of use to schedule appts and market services. Its pretty easy to understand and navigate. Also the pics they have for use are a nice quality.

Cons: I dont like the and still dont understand how to change my availability for time off. I tried to put in a vacation day and it changed my whole schedule. Im still not understanding how to do a single day to block out time. Also, my clients cant use the guest book option and still no reply from support.

Vendor Response

by E-laborative Technologies on 2019/05/21

Hi Angel,

We are so happy that the booking system has been a time-saver and helped you spend more time behind the chair and less time on the phone.

Sorry to hear you were not able to easily schedule a vacation with the booking calendar. I have sent a message to customer support and someone will be in contact today to help you learn how that works. You may be using the full schedule updater instead of the vacation scheduler. They look similar so it may be easy to mix them up. We will make a note to add additional clarification to the page soon.

As for the other comment, your clients can login to their accounts via the GuestBook page to view upcoming appointments and purchases. We will do some testing with your account to make sure everything is working properly and get back to you soon.

"salon builder website and email review"

Comments: We have been with Salon builder almost 8 years now. Since we first opened. Very responsive, user friendly, top notch product. Highly recommend.

Pros: Customer support is top notch. Website is very easy to change and alter myself.

Cons: Would like a website template that features video on the front page

Vendor Response

Hi Randy,

Great news... several of the new Responsive designs feature a video background option including the one you are using for your website. Take a look at another member using a video for their site background: https://www.h2osalonspa.com/

Since the video needs to be pretty small in file size and exported properly we recommend you send your video to the graphics department so we can assist you with it.

Thanks for the many years of membership with SalonBuilder. We are so glad we have been a valuable business resource for you.

Pros: My website was easy to design from the many templates. Designs from the beginning help me build are a great website and have attracted many clients and I did not have to work hard from scratch which is not that difficult of a task. They offer If you a easy step-by-step tutorial to design a salon website for yourself. The gallery has a variety of images to match my imagination I could arrange them and add information too.

Cons: I did not like that I had trouble with my image that I uploaded. But SalonBuilder did help me fix the problem.

Thanks for the feedback Stephanie. We love to hear that your website has helped you attract new clients and that your experience putting it together was great.

Also glad we were able to assist you with the image you had trouble with. Sometimes photos need to be specific sizes or cropped in a way that displays them best with site backgrounds or slideshows. We offer free photo/graphics support anytime you have a photo that doesn't look perfect on your website, email or special offer printout.

"Easy booking program and beautiful website"

Comments: Since it’s only me, it’s hard working behind the chair and answering the phone all the time, by allowing my clients online booking option, it frees up my time plowing me to make more money.

Pros: Easy to use platform made designing my webpage a breeze and the online booking options are user friendly for my clients.

Cons: Can’t keep logged in and would like the option to turn off appointment booking for new clients since I’m unable to accept new clients at this time, however, my current clients need access.

Hi Natalie,

One way you could continue to offer online booking but only accept current clients would be to use the Request/Response mode and only confirm appointments from clients that you know. By selecting text notifications you can easily confirm appointments from your phone within seconds of when they are booked. If you need some assistance getting this setup contact customer support.

Glad you have found designing your website easy and that your clients are happy with the online booking options. We love to hear that SalonBuilder is making your life easier and saving you time while making you money!
