It is very easy to access client info when needed > > **Cons**: Sometimes got glitchy, would not connect to our server. Other times can charge extra or multiple times. > > Incredible\! \[sensitive content hidden\] is amazing, and other than a few small issues, it is very easy to use and understand. ----- ### "I love Aura\!" — 5.0/5 > **Sineka** | *4 August 2025* | Cosmetics | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Their customer service is top notch and the design of the website is so easy to use. We have had a few technical problems since getting this software, but they are always fixed quickly\! > > **Cons**: The lack of customization can be frustrating. Our old system allowed us to set custom color for certain services and that is not available with Aura. Other than that I don't have many complaints. > > As the salon manager my overall experience with Aura has been great. From the onboarding process to now, over 2 years later, it has been a great and smooth experience. Now that we are more familiar with all of the basics we are really looking forward to looking into all the added features that are offered that we are not using. I really really enjoy this booking system\! ----- ### "Zero Stars." — 1.0/5 > **S. Franky** | *8 July 2025* | Consumer Services | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: Smart Booking is the only great feature that Aura Salonware has. It's honestly a feature that every single salon software should come standard with. > > **Cons**: It broke our confidence and trust multiple times. We faced daily errors and booking issues from clients. The software was unintuitive, causing headaches for both staff and customers. These glitches led to thousands of dollars in lost revenue. > > Thumbs down. Being locked in by a year contract should have been the first red flag. The second giant red flag was when leaving Aura Salonware to move our data to a new provider - they wanted $750 for us to get OUR OWN data (client notes, formulas, appointment history and sales). ----- ### "Not Just A Scheduling System, Wrap Around Business Tools For Success" — 5.0/5 > **Rebekah** | *11 September 2025* | Cosmetics | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Aura has fantastic and responsive customer service and wrap around business management tools, from reports to payment processing and marketing features, etc. > > **Cons**: The Help Center videos could be a but more intuitive and comprehensive from a search perspective, I couldn't always find the answers to needed questions, but customer support has been very responsive. > > I've been using Aura Salonware for over a year now and I am very happy with the system. Integrating Fullsteam payments helps streamline my financial record keeping and the data driven marketing options are genius. In my experience the customer service was wonderful and very patient in helping onboard me onto the software to help set my business up for success. ----- ### "Thabk goodness for Jen DeVries in support\!" — 5.0/5 > **Tiffany** | *19 August 2025* | Hospitality | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10 > > **Pros**: Our representative \[sensitive content hidden\] is always a hug helping hand\! She's available to help us with any technical problems, hiccups, and overall understanding of how to use Aura to it's best. Everyone we have ever dealt with has been ready to help us understand better in any way they can. So thankful for the team\! I love the Sent feature to allow us to communicate via text with clients as most of them prefer this method. > > **Cons**: I wish there were features for example for price increases to do an overall increase or for pricing entry for product to have the ability to conquer more at once aside from pine to line entry. > > I'm pleased we made the switch in 2020 and love the constant updates/upgrades. The online booking feature is a big hit for us. ----- Page: 1 / 5\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/212392/aura-salonware?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/212392/aura-salonware) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
