Importing from Other Salon Software Programs into Salon Iris

Salon Iris salon software allows you to import a list of clients, employees, products, services, gift certificates and suppliers that were created using another program (such as another database program). A separate text file for each list of information (clients, employees, products, services, and/or suppliers) that is being imported is required. Each file must be saved in any one of the following formats:

  • Tab deliminated file, .txt
  • Comma separated value file, .csv
  • Word file, .doc
  • Excel file, .xls

If you are unable to save your information in one of the above formats, there is approximately an 80% chance we can extract your information from your current database (if it is in a Windows format). We cannot extract information from DOS databases.

The following information can be imported:
