Running a busy salon means juggling appointments, stock management, staff schedules, and customer communications – often all from a single system. That’s why it's essential to make sure your PC, especially if you're using Salon Tracker, is well looked after.
But when was the last time you shut down your computer
completely, or installed those pending updates? If you can’t remember, keep
reading. 👇
1. Software Updates Keep Your Salon Running Smoothly
Your PC isn’t just a device - it’s the heart of your
business. Regular updates ensure:
- Better
security: Updates protect against viruses, malware, and data breaches. This is vital when storing sensitive client information.
- Improved
performance: Bug fixes and optimisations help Salon Tracker (and other
tools) run faster and more reliably.
- New
features: Software developers (like us!) release updates to give you
access to the latest tools that make managing your salon easier.
Pro tip: Salon Tracker regularly improves features
based on user feedback. Keeping your system updated means you don’t miss out.
2. Why You Shouldn’t Just Put Your PC to Sleep
It’s tempting to just close the lid or leave your PC on all
week - but here’s why that’s a bad habit:
- Updates
don’t install properly: Many updates only finish when the system is
restarted or shut down.
- Sluggish
performance: Without a regular reboot, your PC’s memory gets clogged,
slowing everything down.
- System
health suffers: Constant uptime can shorten the life of your hardware
and increase the risk of crashing during a busy workday.
Even just shutting down once a day can keep your
system in top shape.
3. Data Safety & Security Matter More Than You Think
As a salon, you're likely holding personal client data - names, contact info, booking history, even payment details. Failing to update
your PC:
- Leaves
it open to cyber attacks
- Increases
the risk of data loss or corruption
- Could
even put you in breach of data protection laws
Protecting your clients = protecting your business
reputation.
✅ Quick Tips from Salon Tracker:
- Restart your PC at least once a day.
- Install
updates when prompted - don’t delay them endlessly!
- Set
updates to run outside of working hours if possible, to avoid
interruptions.
- Keep
your Salon Tracker software up to date for the best experience.
- Shut
Salon Tracker, save data to a USB stick and shut down your PC at the end
of every day
Final Thought: Treat
Your PC Like You Do Your Salon
You wouldn’t skip cleaning your tools or servicing equipment,
so treat your PC with the same care. A well-maintained system means no
surprises during peak times and a smoother experience for your team and your
clients.
