How Meevo Became J Salon’s Day-to-Day Backbone
When a system quietly powers every hour of the day, from opening hour to last-guest checkout, it stops feeling like software and starts feeling like a digital business partner. That’s J Salon’s experience with Meevo: operations streamlined, service flowing, and a team that can’t imagine running their business without it.
From Busywork to Automation
Automation isn’t abstract at J Salon—it shows up in the everyday. Routine tasks are handled faster, with less friction, so the team can focus on what matters most: their guests.
“I love Meevo. I think, with everything that we use in Meevo, we’ve made it to the point where it’s automated—payroll, appointment book, scheduling—everything. It’s all to the point of automation.”
— Igor Ristic, Owner of J Salon
Fast to Learn, Easy to Use
A short learning curve means new team members contribute quickly without slowing down the front desk.
“It’s so easy to use Meevo, so efficient & so fast. Honestly, I picked it up fairly easily. On the first day here, I already started checking people in and out.”
— Katerina Nedimovic, Front Desk Manager at J Salon
Real-Time Clarity, All Day Long
With schedules accessible on any device, leaders track progress, spot changes, and keep the day moving like it should.
“The moment I wake up, I always check the appointment book. I think that’s something I do 50 times per day. I constantly and constantly check the appointment book. I’m seeing the smart feature on my phone, seeing the percentage of what’s being booked, checking if there’s any rescheduling or cancellation. The same way you scroll your phone, that’s the same way I check Meevo.”
— Igor Ristic, Owner of J Salon
Quick Client Lookups, Confident Service
Immediate access to client info means faster check-ins and consistent, confident service.
“The one thing that is so efficient and so good is that you can look up clients really easy from Meevo. Just type in the name or the phone number, and they pop right up. The history is right there so you don’t have to dig through it. That’s one thing that I love.”
— Katerina Nedimovic, Front Desk Manager at J Salon
Online Booking That Guests Actually Use
Simple flows keep salon booking effortless so guests follow through and the schedule stays full.
“90% of all our bookings are online bookings. That being said, we’ve made our online booking five or six clicks now [through Meevo]. This is something that we are very proud of.”
— Igor Ristic, Owner of J Salon
A Culture of Learning and a Platform That Grows with You
Meevo’s ongoing education for salon teams and shared best practices help unlock more value over time.
“I like learning. It’s an underrated part of Meevo. People should educate themselves on what they’re using every day. Just listening to them [Meevo] and listening to their experience of what they’re learning from other businesses really makes a big impact on our business.”
— Igor Ristic, Owner of J Salon
“It’s Just Part of Us”
“It would be very hard for us not to have Meevo. I don’t know—we got used to using it for everything. It’s like not having your phone on yourself. I would say having Meevo in our business feels the same, like it’s just a part of us. If I wouldn’t even say one part. It’s a major part of us!”
— Igor Ristic, Owner of J Salon
“It makes my job so much easier. Everything is right there. That makes me confident that I know that I can just get the job done faster, but with the same quality of customer service. It’s just amazing.”
— Katerina Nedimovic, Front Desk Manager at J Salon
Would They Recommend Meevo?
“I would say, go try it. Once you train with Meevo, you cannot go back! It’s so easy to use.”
— Katerina Nedimovic, Front Desk Manager at J Salon
“[J Salon] wouldn’t be able to live without Meevo. I don’t know how I would use something else. We are so integrated—we really use Meevo for everything that Meevo offers. It’s just a huge part of our business.”
— Igor Ristic, Owner of J Salon
