Jessica F
Ops manager
5.0

Jessica F.: My name is Jessica. I am the operations manager for One Eleven Salon in Ann Arbor, Michigan. We are a six-chair salon, and I rate Meevo at a five. We were a former Millennium salon, but as the landscape of the industry has changed, we found that we needed something a little bit newer and that was more cloud-based, and that is when Millennium offered the option of Meevo too, and it was a jump that made sense and was easy to transition over from Millennium. The ease of use with Meevo makes it a wonderful software to use. Our staff pretty much picks it up from day one. The help and the training at the academy is great for anybody that has any questions on anything that they can't use by just playing with the software. The support that comes with Meevo is five-star, whether it be from MeevoPay or from just an issue with a report. We always have five-star service from the support team in answering any questions that we have. Starting up with Meevo was super easy. Our onboarding specialist was phenomenal. She stayed connected to us. We had no issues from day one getting set up and ready to go the day that our salon opened. We were actually fully functional a couple of weeks before opening day, so that we had plenty of time to input clients that were coming with us once we opened the salon. If you're considering making the switch to Meevo, I highly recommend scheduling a call with someone from their team to learn more about everything that Meevo has to offer for your salon. I also recommend joining the Facebook community online and learning what other salons are doing with it to see how it can help your salon.
