### 4/5 — Helpful app

*2025-11-11*

I don’t have the scale so can’t comment on it. I just manually input the measurements. I love that it updates my inventory so I can easily see what I’m low on. Being able to see the cost of the product I’m using is great for budgeting. Loving it so far! The set up is kind of a lot but once it’s done it almost takes care of itself. 
I would love a weekly view in the app like on the website and the option to show total price instead of the average per appointment. Also as a solo hairstylist I would like to set the low stock reminder less than 1 because I only need one of each color or tub of bleach so the second I use anything it shows as low. It would be nice to have it show as low when I hit half a tube or when there’s 1/4 left of bleach powder for example.

### 1/5 — Update is horrible!!

*2024-08-02*

When I add a second color to my scale it doesn’t keep the amounts separate!! It’s adds it all to the 2nd color!! It didn’t do this previous to the update!! Please fix this problem!!! It’s really annoying!!!

### 5/5 — Absolutely the BEST Decision since I opened my Doors

*2024-05-16*

Using the salon Scale we have increased our revenue by $50,000.00!!!!! 
Not only are the stylists paying attention and not wasting product, they are seeing rewards by earning more with retail. 
Without this device I realize the waste and the loss of revenue and I was always fighting to break even! Now I have profit!!!! WOO HOO!!!
 If you do not have Salon Scale,  Get it NOW!!! 
The support is fantastic and the resources they have are perfect for teaching and making the transition extremely smooth.

### 1/5 — Confused

*2023-03-21*

How do we sign in as a new user? It won’t let me open it. Help!

### 1/5 — Don't waist your time trying to download it

*2023-03-16*

You can't create a new user to log in.

### 1/5 — Not worth it

*2023-01-25*

The scales aren’t that great- they are no more precise than a regular cheaper kitchen scale. Also if you decide to cancel your subscription make sure you have a copy of all your clients formulas because you will lose them all.

### 4/5 — Overall, good.

*2023-01-19*

The app itself was pretty straight forward to set up. Definitely need to login with a computer to set your account up. 
I have no issues with anything but the scale!
I don’t think they could have gotten a cheaper scale. The tare function and power share the same button, and it is “touch” sensitive. However, when you go to tare, it won’t tare or power off unless you hit the perfect spot (good luck finding it) 
Also, I use oz to weigh my color and this scale shows 4.5 instead of 4.51 or 4.59 (which is a big difference in color results) so that is a big disappointment since it looks cute. I’ve resorted to using my old Wella scale and manually inputting.

If it weren’t for the scale, I would have given 5 stars.

### 2/5 — App is great, scale is horrible!

*2022-11-27*

I recommend the app for sure. It helps you know your numbers and an easy effective way. The Bluetooth scale however, it is not accurate in weight and is mor difficult/ more steps than manually entering your numbers into the app. It’s so frustrating when people sell you a Solution that is actually more of a problem/ non functional.

### 3/5 — Bring back app icon customization!

*2022-09-28, version 1.33.6*

I miss my leopard print icon :(

### 1/5 — Wha!wha!

*2021-08-09*

Sounds like a great idea but can’t get past sign in 🤦🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️
