This is an exciting time to be working at IBCS making The Spa/Salon Manager software and part of that excitement is the opportunity to reach out to our customers in ways that simply weren't available or widely used in the spa and salon industry in the past. With so many of our customers active on Facebook, Twitter, Google Plus, and the many other social sites on the web I felt it was important to broaden the scope of what we ...
As I wrote back in June, the Spa/Salon Manager program makes it easy to sell gift certificates to your customers without dealing with the per-transaction fees that banks and credit card processors charge to load and redeem their gift cards.

There's been a few requests that we haven't been able to add to the regular online booking due to their complexity and setup requirements. We've now implemented enough of these features that we're offering them ...

SpaSalon Manager software has worked hard for our customers for nearly 40 years to stay at the cutting edge of both the salon software industry and advancements in the tech world in general.
