Then I was forced to pay $100- bucks again because they updated the app and slightly changed the name from Personal Salon Assistant to Personal Salon Assistant +Plus. The app rarely gets updates. It has had severe crashes that go unfixed for way longer than they should. As when returning from being out of work for 3 months from Covid quarantine to return to work and not have the app working for over 2 months! No response or reply from owner saying it’s going to be fixed. Terrible customer service where u can’t contact anyone for help. Now my app gets an update and I can’t use it unless I start paying a subscription fee of $9.99 a month?!?! A subscription for what??? They do absolutely nothing new to update the app. It’s been the same for years. And crashes way to often without being fixed. Not worth it! This is just a scheme for the owner to make more money! It’s not going to help the app to work better or get any upgrades! Ridiculous! He should be reported to the better business bureau!👎 ### 1/5 — 😂 *2020-08-18, version 7.0* Thank God I started using google calendar which is more reliable and it reminds you 10min before your next appointment and much easier ohhh and it’s FREE and stable then this crap. I had purchase this app years ago for 100$ now they want monthly subscriptions ### 1/5 — Terrible Customer Service!!!! *2020-07-02, version 6.2* I have purchased this app two times and really enjoyed using it when it worked. I was getting kicked out continually when our salon reopened. I have emailed customer service four times and NEVER got a response. I was forced to find a different app and I’m so upset that I wasted $99 twice when it’s obvious that they don’t care about their customers. This app has been unusable for more than a month and now they FINALLY decided to do an update to fix the problem. I will NEVER use it again. Don’t waste your money!!!! ### 1/5 — Added fix for bug fix now can’t edit or make appointments *2020-06-30, version 6.2* PSA shuts down when attempting to schedule, delete or reschedule an appointment Why can’t this program be ready for the operating system updates, Frustrated ### 1/5 — Crashing need update ASAP *2020-06-28, version 6.1* It’s still need work on this app And NOW this Crashing on me after 10 sec It’s stupid joke not business It’s not the first time , every year the same Never a head of the game. Always the last one to update the app ### 1/5 — App crashing after a few seconds *2020-06-23, version 6.1* Edit to my original review... The developer’s name is Chas Inzinna. You can look him up on Facebook. I’ve left a post there regarding this insane situation with the app crashing. He is a salon owner, who surely knows the importance of having an app that works and is reliable, which makes this all the more unacceptable. The name of his salon is Soho Salon. The phone number is (585) 748-2369. You can call or text that number, which I’ve also done, in hopes that this will get sorted out with an update ASAP. This is the third or fourth time this has happened over the years. I open my salon app, and it kicks me out after 8-10 seconds. I cannot keep it open long enough to check my schedule, book a client, or even look up a formula. Basically, I can’t work like this. As a previous reviewer stated, we were only just allowed to open back up after being unemployed for 6 weeks. This is the last thing I need right now. The problem is typically fixed with an app update. When can we expect that? I’m going on the 3rd day of this. ### 1/5 — Don’t buy *2020-06-23, version 6.1* When the actual program works it’s decent. But it’s so frustrating that it’s constantly crashing and there is no technical support team you can get in touch with. The worst part is it stopped working since salons were allowed to open due to covid and still has been down for me that’s been atleast 4 weeks I got a new program and works great it’s VagaroPro ### 1/5 — Contact co owner of app. At his salon in NY. *2020-06-22, version 6.1* This app has been a mess. I suggest everyone contact the co owner of the app. His name is Chaz and he works at a salon in Ny. You can google for the salon phone number and web sight. Maybe he will get things moving then. ### 1/5 — Continues to CRASH! *2020-06-17, version 6.1* I have reached out to “support” FOUR times since the last IOS update, haven’t gotten any replies and I STILL can’t use the app for anything! The last company update was a YEAR ago and it’s apparent that this company doesn’t care or have the “support” that can handle customer service. VERY dissatisfied, and this is MY BUSINESS scheduling app. I will be looking for another company that will be supporting their software and their customers! ### 1/5 — To the developer of PSA. If you can’t fix it don’t sell it. How dare you... *2020-06-16, version 6.1* I’ve been using PSA for many years. Every year it crashes. Last year i was advised spending another $99 to get the update. We are back to square one 2020. We all finally got back to work from Covid. Too bad with PSA crashing we don’t know who’s going to come in and when. We can’t prepare our inventory because we don’t know who’s going to be coming in when. There are hundreds of us out there having the same problem. Hundreds wasting time attempting to contact customer support. What shocking is the developer of PSA is a stylist himself. WOW 😤. If he had even a bit of goodness in his heart he would quit selling his app at least letting us know that our app is history. But no he keeps taking advantage of more people buying the app. I’m now looking into other salon software. The biggest problem is we don’t have our formulas that sometimes takes visits to perfect. ### 1/5 — DO NOT BUY!!! *2020-06-15, version 6.1* App Crashes for weeks now! Can’t see schedule, confirm appointments, make appointments, see reports, retrieve client information !!! There hasn’t been an update in over a year. There is no contact information. I can’t believe that they are still able to sell the app when the company seems to be defunct. Do not buy this app! ### 1/5 — App crashing *2020-06-15, version 6.1* This is not the first time the app crashes after few seconds of be open. It kicks me out without allowing me to schedule appointments. It’s been already three week on the road since it’s happening. Would you please fix this problem. ### 1/5 — I’m so angry! *2020-06-11, version 6.1* I have been using this app for 8 years. It crashed on June first my first day back to work after COVID-19 shut down. I lost 8 years of formulas, payments, inventory and clients data. No one will respond to my emails from any of the contacts given on their site. I used to love how easy it was to use, nut I guess they don’t care anymore about their users ### 1/5 — Worst app ever *2020-06-09, version 6.1* I’ve purchased this app twice. The first time they told me to re-purchase it because the old version never got updates. That I would get my back money back but Apple wouldn’t refund my money because they said it was a newer version of the app. Started crashing five days ago and won’t stay open longer than 10 seconds I’ve reached out to support three times and haven’t heard back, terrible terrible service. ### 1/5 — Awful *2020-06-09, version 6.1* This is the most unreliable were service app ever created. Do not buy it! I’ve been trying to reach PSA for the past 10 days - no one has responded. My info is locked in the app and continues to crash after 30 seconds. I don’t know what to do!!! I wish somebody would reach out. ### 1/5 — Crashing *2020-06-07, version 6.1* App won’t stop crashing after a few seconds.. very frustrating! It shouldn’t take this many days to fix an app especially when salons are just reopening and rely on this! ### 1/5 — Need to fix crash issues again. *2020-06-07, version 6.1* This used to work well but has started crashing again and when I have tried to get in touch no one has responded. So it is a complete nightmare now. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Beauty salon owner *2024-12-03, version 8.4* App crashed no longer work and no customer support ### 1/5 — Very mad! *2021-06-03, version 7.3* I'm trying to contact with customer service and they didn't answer I CAN'T open the app and I have a huge mess with my schedule I lost all my bussines inf. my appointments my clients information , I lost everything. I need to know how or what can I do to get the money that I paid for the app. Hope to hear very soon any response from you guys !!!! ### 1/5 — Embarrassingly bad *2020-12-02, version 7.1* I’ve been using this app for years, and have ended up paying for it. It used to be decent. I bought a license which was meant to be a one time purchase two times, because they continually change the payment structure. Now I’m locked out of all my information unless I pay another monthly fee. They will change the app a bit and make you buy it again. Service is terrible, non existent really. Updates are terrible and take months. And they just keep adding payment schemes. This app is a blatant cash grab, don’t bother. ### 1/5 — Beth *2020-10-25, version 7.1* This app is great when it works. But when it crashes you just sit and wait because there’s no one to contact for customer support. Waiting ..... and major stressing! Would love the recommendation of a great app for hairstylist. Let me say I would never ever advise investing one cent or one second with anything to do with this app. The most unprofessional and unreliable people I’ve ever had to deal with. ### 1/5 — Kormar *2020-09-28, version 7.1* This is the 2nd review for me, if you could give negative stars I would! Do not buy this app Terrible customer service, it crashes for weeks at a time. This will affect you business schedule. I will keep giving this app a negative review until it is removed completely!! ### 1/5 — A scam! *2020-09-23, version 7.1* I’ve paid $99 twice, I’ve added all my clients info and inventory into app and now it’s all gone and I’m being asked to pay $19.99 a month! This is insane! ### 1/5 — Worst app *2020-09-05, version 7.0* This app used to be good, half the time it crashes and doesn’t work. Paid $200 on this app now you want people to pay a monthly subscription. I don’t think so. Like everyone else said not worth it . Buyers beware DO NOT WAIST YOUR MONEY you’d be better off buying a scratch. If I could give this app no stars I would. ### 1/5 — **Warning** Do not purchase or subscribe to app!!! *2020-08-28, version 7.0* After already purchasing this app twice and spending a total of $200, we are now being forced into a monthly subscription. Under the app description in the App Store they state that once you buy the app you own it with no monthly fees. On SalonTechnologies.com, they also state there are NO extra fees for maintenance & support. That is what I agreed to when I purchased this app. This is a bait and switch in that, Salon Technologies are unilaterally changing the terms of use of the application after purchase!!! Now I cannot get to my client information or lookup past appointments or lookup color formulas. Anything related to my salon business for the time I have been using PSA+ over the last 10 years is gone unless I subscribe monthly. I have tried to contact Salon Technologies. I have sent email after email with no response!! **WARNING** Do not buy or subscribe to this app. They do not have integrity as a company and have left many of us stylists in a horrible situation. They use to be the best. It’s very sad to watch a company that use to care, hurt so many of our livelihoods. ### 1/5 — I can’t believe you did this again *2020-08-27, version 7.0* I have had to purchase this app two times spending $200 on an app that should’ve only cost me $100. App crashes twice a year in January and in June. Contact with the developer is no replies back. And now they decided that the $200 that I gave them for the app is not enough and now they want me to pay monthly. I can’t even get in this app to retrieve my clients information because now they are holding it hostage until I sign up for their monthly agreement. I have had this app with the exception of having to purchase it twice since 2011 and I have loved it. It fit my needs perfectly. Now I have a Bandan to this app and have moved my appointments to a new one. I’m very happy and it offers even more and better quality options that didn’t cost me a penny to download. Very disappointed. I did not wanna make this move. But you holding my clientele and my appointments hostage draws the line in the sand. Not a very good way to do business. all of us using this app and trying to run our salons would go out of business if we treated our clients like this. Such a shame. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work! *2020-08-18, version 7.0* Calendar only shows month settings so scheduling is a guessing game! Loved the PSA when it worked but now it’s just an expensive waste of money! Besides the money lost on the app I’m loosing time and money in the salon with the messed up schedule and they don’t seem to be in any hurry to fix the problem! Now it only stays open for 10 seconds when contacted they said it was the new IOS update, well because this app has had so many problems I didn’t do the update and support had not thing to say about that!!! So frustrating keep your money... I want my money back!!! This is ridiculous!!! Now after not paying once but twice for this horrible app so $200 they now want to start charging $9.99 a month 😂😂what a joke I’d never hope for a real company to fail but I sincerely hope they go down before another person looses money (time, appointments extra) on this crap!!!! ## Most praised reviews (7 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love it! *2017-06-22, version 4.4* Just bought it, and it does everything I need for my business. I use it on my iPad Pro and iPhone. The hard part was transferring all my clients from my old calendar to the Personal Salon Assistant Plus, but in doing so I learned about All the features it has. So far love it!! Thank you🤗 ### 4/5 — Please fix *2022-06-04, version 7.7* As of Thursday the app closes within 30 seconds. I cannot access my schedule. Please fix ASAP. ### 4/5 — Thank you *2020-08-18, version 7.0* Thank you thank you. 2 things. I have had this program for years. I love it. when it stopped working I was freaking out . After trying many other software. I was over the moon when I saw this working. I am more than willing to pay $10 a month. A lot of the others are worst programming and cost more. Ok on the other part. Please fix the entering new clients. It crashes. Thank you so much! ### 2/5 — disappointing *2020-06-07, version 6.1* App is crashing! No response from company. Very disappointing to have used this app for nine years and unable to access it. Makes it impossible to work with. My entire business history is in this app and i can’t use it ### 2/5 — Needs update *2020-06-07, version 6.1* I loved this app until it crashed 4 days ago. I will update this review when it it gets fixed. Update needed now. ### 2/5 — Having problems as of 4 days ago. *2020-06-04, version 6.1* This is the second time I’ve purchased this app. I’ve had several of the same issues with it crashing after about 10 seconds. Started again 4 days ago crashing. We are just able to reopen salons and now this problem. Hope they fix it soon or I’m finding a new app or going back to keeping a book. My iPad is updated and same issues are happening. 3 days ago it worked fine. Is this app going to be updated??? Still waiting.... ### 2/5 — Disappointed on response time *2016-10-01, version 3.1* I found the app to be great until I couldn't get into it any more and lost all my data. I contacted support by email to help with the problem and it's taken over a year for them to respond, hence now I no longer use the app and have gone back to appointment book needless to say I'm rather disappointed in the response time for support --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
