I love the online booking we now have on our website \& Facebook, as well as the stylist being able to book from their mobile devices wherever they are. Tracking \& goals are great and customer service in sales \& technical support are great too. When I can't figure something out, I just let them in the computer remotely and they show me\! I am grateful \& looking forward to many years together. The monthly charge is worth it\! ----- ### "Great software\!" — 5.0/5 > **Tina** | *January 13, 2015* > > We started with STX 13 years ago when we opened our salon. The software is a fantastic tool that we could not run our business without\! The business reports, client marketing and guest booking and transactions are features that are priceless. STX is constantly growing and improving their product and if I ever have a question or problem they are they to help promptly. ----- ### "stx" — 3.0/5 > **adrienne** | *August 31, 2018* | Hospitality | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: easy to double book clients and to reschedule appointments/adjust times > > **Cons**: antiquated, did not like stx beacon. would have rather kept the original stx ----- ### "There for me when I goofed" — 5.0/5 > **Matteo** | *January 6, 2015* > > STX support Deserves 10 stars\! My main computer crashed (literally), I ran to the Apple store, grabbed a new iMac, the support guy over there at STX had my back up ready to get my new Macbook up and going and i was ready for open next day\! ----- ### "Salon" — 5.0/5 > **Rodney** | *June 21, 2011* > > **Pros**: support is always available via email phone or online instruction > > **Cons**: alternate terminals drop connects quickly > > Buy it if you are large or small.
