Ever wondered how a teenager with braces transformed the beauty industry through technology? This enlightening conversation with John Harms, founder of Mevo (Millennium Evolution) software, reveals the fascinating journey from a simple college-funding project to creating the most awarded salon management system in industry history.
John shares captivating stories from his early days working behind a salon front desk, where real-world challenges—like accidentally revealing a husband's surprise gift card—inspired innovative software solutions. His unique approach of listening deeply to stylists' needs led to groundbreaking features like segmented appointment booking that revolutionized how salons operate.
The discussion dives into powerful yet underutilized features that can dramatically impact your salon's performance. John explains how the Sales Ranking tool provides unprecedented visibility into staff performance across key metrics, allowing owners to identify coaching opportunities and drive growth. He reveals that most users access less than 25% of Mevo's capabilities—representing enormous untapped potential for businesses.
Looking toward the future, John shares exciting developments in AI technology that will transform client experiences. Imagine a system that automatically identifies when a client's package is expiring or when they've accumulated enough loyalty points for a free service—all presented to your front desk staff at exactly the right moment to enhance the client relationship.
For salon owners feeling overwhelmed by technology, John offers practical wisdom: take time to explore what your current software can actually do, and consider summer as the ideal time to transition systems if needed. His passion for helping beauty professionals succeed shines throughout the conversation, reminding us that when you build the right systems around your team and clients, growth truly becomes inevitable.
