Colleges
Play a vital role in preparing students for successful careers in the hair and beauty industry by offering hands-on experience in a professional salon environment. Managing a college salon, however, comes with its own set of challenges — from coordinating training sessions to handling a high volume of client appointments. Salon Manager is built to streamline daily operations, allowing educators to focus on teaching while ensuring students gain real-world experience in a well-organised setting.
One of the biggest hurdles for college salons is appointment scheduling. With students training at various levels, managing bookings efficiently is crucial. Salon Manager’s flexible scheduling system allows appointments to be allocated based on skill level, availability, or training module. Automated reminders help reduce no-shows, ensuring students make the most of their time with clients.
Stock control is another critical element in a training environment. With many students using products daily, running out of essential items can quickly disrupt learning. Salon Manager’s inventory management system helps maintain stock levels by sending alerts when supplies are low, keeping lessons on track and students fully equipped.
For administrators, Salon Manager offers powerful reporting tools that provide clear insight into salon activity — from revenue generated through training salons to appointment patterns and product usage. These insights support smarter planning and resource allocation across the department.
Salon Manager is trusted by more than half of the colleges in the UK offering hair and beauty training — a testament to its reliability, ease of use, and ability to meet the unique needs of the education sector.
By integrating Salon Manager into their training programmes, colleges can offer a polished, real-world salon experience while maintaining efficient, professional operations. This helps students graduate with not just practical skills, but a strong understanding of how a modern salon runs.
