Combining a traditional  appointment-book layout with a sleek online environment, it makes client  and schedule management a breeze.<\/p>\n<p>As  interest in online services grows, industries are increasing their use  of online booking. Unlike most online booking services salonMonster does  not cater to a wide range of businesses. One size does not fit all.  Rather, salonMonster avoids the complicated user interface and  unnecessary features of general scheduling applications. It is designed  specifically for the scheduling needs of the salon and spa industry.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Accessible anytime, anywhere<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As  a Web application, salonMonster removes the hassle of downloading and  updating software. Schedules can be accessed anytime, anywhere from a  Web browser, iPhone, tablet computer or smart phone.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Involves clients in the booking process<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Clients  can book their own appointments through an easy-to-use Web interface.  The application automatically sends confirmation and reminder emails so  the salon doesn\u2019t have to. Involving clients in the booking process  benefits salons by greatly decreasing no-shows.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A complete record of salon knowledge<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The  application helps maintain a complete record of salon knowledge,  culture and client preferences so it isn\u2019t lost when staff members  leave. Staff productivity is increased by reducing the time spent  managing clients and bookings.<\/p>\n<p>salonMonster is constantly evolving, with new features added every week or two.<\/p>\n<p>Try it free for 30 days. \u00a0Plans from $19 per month.<\/p>\n<p><strong>About salonMonster<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>salonMonster  was founded in Vancouver by Liam Shea, Ken Smith and Stephen Parslow.
