Destiny L
Office Manager
5.0

Destiny L.: Hi, my name is Destiny. I'm an office manager for a beauty company called SEV. SEV is a pretty big company, California-based. We just started expanding in New York. As the office manager. We utilize Boulevard a lot, and I have to say things of everything that has to do with running a beauty business when it comes to scheduling clients, charging clients, and also charging them cancellation fees, which is really important. Boulevard, I'm going to have to say, I give five stars. With SEV, they haven't used any other technology. I think Boulevard pretty much gets the entire concept of what our business does, so I can't really compare any previous softwares to Boulevard. But yeah. I think one of the main reasons, it's how fast it operates. We're very fast-paced business. We take about 100 clients there. We leave little to no room for any space. It's really very back-to-back, and Boulevard just seems to be high functioning when it comes to clicking, moving appointments, scheduling appointments, canceling appointments. It makes everything easier to see on the screen altogether. Personally, I found Boulevard very easy. Everything is clear. I like that Boulevard allows us to use emoticons or emotion cons. That's very helpful for our business to divide which client has specific limitations from other clients. But yeah. The advice I would give to people who want to consider Boulevard as a software for their business is to do it. I think it encompasses everything a business is, from looking at a sales perspective to looking at getting personal to looking at employees and also with clients. It builds better relationships with clients.
