Try It Before You Buy
You are offered a free, no-obligation 30-day trial of the full, Standard version of Salon Connection. You have the option of evaluating the software with the sample database included and making a few entries of your own; or simply begin setting up the software by entering your business, client and employee information, along with retail inventory, so you can immediately begin scheduling appointments and keeping track of every aspect of your business. Other companies limit your ability to enter clients, do not offer you a full version of their program, or give you much less time for evaluation.
Ease of Use
When you've completed initial entry of your business information, Salon Connection is largely Point and Click - no typing skills needed -- left click, right click, or select from drop-down menus. You'll love the color-coded schedule, telling you at a glance how many styles, pedicures or massages are on the schedule. Confirm appointments or send reminders to your clients by e-mail or text message directly to their cell phones.
Flexibility
As you grow, so does your Salon Connection software. Starting small? The Lite version of the software is perfect! As your business grows, you have the option of upgrading to the Standard full-featured version without being penalized. You pay no more than had you purchased the Standard version initially. No need to work with a cumbersome and large program and spend thousands of dollars to upgrade to the next level software.
24/7 Technical Support
Your calls to Technical Support are answered personally by "real" people in our Nazareth, PA headquarters. Trouble on a weekend or holiday? Blue Crystal is there to support you. In the decision process, look carefully at limitations on support - some companies support you for the first 60 or 90 days, and then only a certain number of hours per week - and will charge you by the minute, the call, or several thousand dollars for full telephone support. From the time you download the demo or install from CD, you have access to full support by e-mail or telephone. With your purchase, you are given one full year of support with no limits and no extra charges.
Training
You'll be pleased to know that our Training Division is available to guide you in the setup of your software. Onsite training is available on request and group training is held regularly in cities near you at reasonable cost. You can also request remote support over the Internet via Webex.
Networking
Multiple computers at the same business location? We help you configure each workstation to communicate with your server or main computer. Some companies charge extra for each computer on your network. Not so with Blue Crystal! You are unlimited in the number of computers you can network in one location.
Multiple Locations Module
Available Multiple Locations Module allows all of your locations to share data, utilizing a Virtual Private Network across the Internet or a Windows Remote Desktop Connection.
