Hi there.

Looking for a good booking system to work on iPad & iPhone, in and out of salon. Does anyone have any suggestions? Need it to store clients details etc

Thanks for helping. I will take a look at this. Can you tell me if you can set up an online booking system through the website with this too?

I've just started using vantage salon software, easy to use for all of us, great value, and fantastic customer service

Yep, we provide you with a link that you can use on your site which will give you an online booking portal.

i-salon offers online booking and can work on your iPad.

If you're researching the market though, my advice would be to look out for hidden costs which can be associated with some of the other online booking systems - i.e. some of them charge you a fee per booking.

Good luck!

If you don't mind me asking, how are you finding salonlite? (apart from not managing to get it on your iPad yet) :-)

Thanks! This is why I am asking as I am finding out a lot of them take a % for each booking which I don't want... Does I-salon work well with beauty salons?

No need for an app - go into the iPad browser, go to Salonlite - The world's first free online salon and spa management software - it'll work perfectly. If you use the 'add to home screen' option at the bottom, it'll appear as all your other apps do, on the screen of your iPad.

Yep, it's a common setup that some will either offer free but you pay if you go over restrictions, or you pay a percentage of bookings, or whatever else. That's not the case with Salonlite. The only thing you pay for are text message bundles, should you wish to purchase them, which we have to charge for due to the phone networks.
