### 5/5 — Fantastic Balance

*2026-05-04, version 1.33*

I have been going to Balance Salon for close to 30 years now. Carlos and Tina run a very top-notch salon. I usually stay with one stylist but sometimes they move away to different salons and I prefer to stay with the Aveda Salon vs staying with the stylist. I also love Aveda products. My hair is always healthy and Aveda has products for whatever my hair needs are. Whether it be needing more moisture or my hair is frizzing up, there are products to meet my needs. Kudos to Carlos, Tina and my stylist Christina❣️

### 1/5 — Never works

*2025-04-23, version 1.33*

Why do salons still use this

### 2/5 — Needs logic update

*2023-12-30*

Unable to sync / upload appointments to calendar. Tells me to allow access on settings but there is NO option to turn calendar access on. Do not want to go into the app to see future appointments at a glance.

### 1/5 — Have not been able to book on app in months

*2023-05-01, version 1.30*

I just get an error message when I log in to go book. I haven’t been able to book an appointment on the app in over 2 months now.

### 5/5 — Convenient

*2022-07-11, version 1.28*

This has made guest checkout very easy. Can’t wait to implement the scheduling feature.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2022-07-02, version 1.28*

I can’t even create an account to use the app. I tried several times and once I put in my information to create an account, it goes back to my phone’s Home Screen. I see that the same issues happened at least two years ago from other reviews. Pretty disappointed that it isn’t been fixed after all this time.

### 1/5 — Refuses to allow account creation!

*2020-11-14, version 1.24*

I would like to try this app.! But, I have tried x 10 just to create an account! No dice it just closes out after all information is entered!

### 5/5 — Overall good but missing some features

*2020-10-14, version 1.24*

Wish the stylist could communicate back to me. Cherry Almond doesn’t show up. Can’t buy gift cards.

### 1/5 — Crashing

*2020-08-27, version 1.23*

The app crashes non-stop. I can’t even get to my salon’s stuff before it crashes! I restart it...nothing.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work after iOS update

*2020-08-16, version 1.23*

The app worked fine for me before, but I loaded the update to 13.6.1 today and now not only doesn’t it recognize my sign on, but if I try to search for my salon, nothing shows up, either by name or by zip code
