| 07/01/25 | Updated the Aveda product line for salons that carry Aveda's entire product line. |
| 06/25/25 | Updated the 6/6 change to now be off by default. If you want to turn the font fix on, go into Utility, File Utilities, put ApFnt0.On in the File Name box, and click Create. |
| 06/19/25 | Added a fix for the 6/6 change for the issues it caused when editing appointments. |
| 06/06/25 | Added a fix to the font size in the Appointment Book. We received reports that on certain screens, for certain sizes of font, the words lined up differently after saving the changes on the Appointment Detail screen than they did after you would close the appointment book and come back in. In order to ensure that the screen matches between both, a single redraw of the appointment book was added when opening the book. This causes a single 'jitter' when the book opens, which for many people won't be noticeable, and only happens when the book is completely closed, and then reopened. Because of this, though, we have added an option to turn that feature off. Go into Utility, then File Utilities. In the File Name box, type in ApFnt0.Off and click Create. |
| 05/31/25 | Updated the Aveda product line for salons that carry Aveda's entire product line. |
| 05/28/25 | Added the ability for the program to confirm customers when they reply to their confirmation text message with 'c'. This option only applies to businesses using the paid texting service, and is off by default if you mark customers as confirmed when you send the text messages. To turn off this feature go into Utility, then File Utilities. In the File Name box, type in TxtCf0.Off and click Create. If you want these messages to go out even though you already mark customers confirmed when you send the texts so that you can see which customers are replying (it shows 'With Customer' if they reply with the 'c', but 'With Message' if they did not) go into Utility, then File Utilities. In the File Name box, type in TxtCf0.On and click Create. Please call us at 800-682-2998 with any questions. |
| 05/01/25 | Updated the Aveda product line for salons that carry Aveda's entire product line. |
| 04/30/25 | Added new feature to only require secure passwords when clicking Reports and Maintenance. Contact IBCS to turn on the option. |
| 04/19/25 | Added an option to exclude certain service from being paid for with a credit card for cases where there are restrictions placed by the credit card processor. Please call us at 800-682-2998 for more details or assistance setting this feature up. |
| 04/18/25 | Added a note to the font selection in the theme section to let users know that only the font itself applies when selecting a font, since the program controls the size, bold, and italic settings as needed for each section of the program. |
| 04/18/25 | Corrected some issues that could cause the screen to not refresh after applying a theme and then clicking Continue. |
| 04/18/25 | Put a warning in to stop users from selecting Monospaced font, as that specific font is reserved by the program for system use. |
| 04/18/25 | Fixed an issue with the theme update screen that could cause the Apply button to clear out after applying changes. |
| 04/10/25 | Added a user interface for salons using the advanced service charges at checkout. These are amounts, either a percentage or dollar amount, added as a surcharge to customer bills at checkout. Please call us at 800-682-2998 if you have questions about this feature. |
| 04/08/25 | Added more information to the Pay Stub option to be compliant with Ohio's new law. Ohio customers will have a new menu option Pay Stub which allows the employee to get a report on any payroll date with year-to-date totals included. This Pay Stub option can be turned on for any other salon doing payroll in Spa-Salon by contacting technical support. |
| 04/07/25 | Added the confirming reason to the message in the password tracking report. These entries show both when you confirm a customer, as well as when you either select one of the non-confirming choices like 'Could Not Leave Message', or if nothing is selected and the customer is bypassed (shows Bypass Customer). |
| 04/04/25 | Fixed an issue that could cause the Verify Monies and Close Day screens to show an incorrect amount in the cash section, typically off by 1-3 cents, for certain salons. |
| 04/01/25 | Updated the Aveda product line for salons that carry Aveda's entire product line. |
| 03/28/25 | Added the option to have a second email reminder go out the same number of weeks after the first went out. So, with this feature turned on, if you have your reminders set to email the customer a reminder six weeks after their last visit, they would then get another reminder at the twelve week mark as well. After that, it would work as it always has worked and not send another reminder until the next time the customer comes in. To turn on this feature go into Utility, then File Utilities. In the File Name box, type in EmTwo0.Rem and click Create. If you need help with these steps, please call us at 800-682-2998. |
| 03/28/25 | Made extensive changes to the online booking to change how sessions are managed, as well as back-end changes to improved speed and stability. Now, when a user logs in, as long as they allow third party functional cookies on their browser (which is the default), they will stay logged in. This will be the case even if they get disconnected, switch internet, etc. If they hit the Log Out button, it will immediately clear the saved information as well, so hitting Log Out now will make it so when you come back you'll get the log in screen instead of already being logged in. |
| 03/26/25 | Added an option for salons that don't use email in the program to still be able to send themselves exported reports. Please call us at 800-682-2998 if you have questions about whether this feature would be needed in your situation. |
| 03/26/25 | Fixed an issue with the new feature for requiring a cell phone number when signing up for Online Booking as a new customer. |
| 03/26/25 | Added a Password Tracking Report entry for all new customers added through the Online Booking. |
| 03/12/25 | Updated the Aveda product line for salons that carry Aveda's entire product line. |
| 03/01/25 | Added new items for the Aveda product line for salons that carry Aveda's entire product line. This was not a full replacement list like they normally send - it was around 50 new products that will be available for sale on approximately March 10th. |
| 02/03/25 | Updated tax table for Illinois, Minnesota, Mississippi, North Carolina, North Dacota, Oregon, Vermont and West Virginia. |
| 01/30/25 | Added an option to the Loyalty program to allow the same Loyalty ID for multiple customers. This would allow you to have families sharing the same loyalty account for earning and spending points. To turn on this feature go into Utility, then File Utilities. In the File Name box, type in Loyal0.Dup and click Create. If you need help with these steps, please call us at 800-682-2998. |
| 01/06/25 | Updated the Aveda product line for salons that carry Aveda's entire product line. |
| 01/01/25 | Happy New Year! |
