  • HIPAA-compliant Forms and Charts consolidated clinical documentation into one format, with clients completing intake before appointments and providers accessing everything in a single view.
  • SMS and email marketing with customizable templates streamlined campaign creation, with the social media team reporting Boulevard made their work “so much easier.”
  • Real-time reporting gave the team monthly visibility into provider performance, fueling data-driven discussions and operational improvements.

Introduction

In 2017, Mariesa Porter founded a cutting-edge New York City medspa designed to be "a safer, more positive space for the aesthetic industry." From a one-room boutique to a COVID-safe mobile medspa to its current thriving Broadway location, Porter had all of the ingredients for business success. But with booking, charting, payments, and marketing spread across multiple disconnected platforms, none of them tailored to medspa operations, she needed software purpose-built for the industry to keep up.

The Challenge: Running a Medspa on Software That Wasn't Built for One

Porter's existing tools weren't tailored to aesthetics, which made the practice almost impossible to operate. Booking, charting, payments, and marketing each lived in a different platform, and none of them were built around how a medspa actually works.

The Solution: One Aesthetics-Tailored Platform for Booking, Charting, and Growth

After hearing about Boulevard from an office manager, Porter began investigating and quickly realized the platform was exactly what Elite Aesthetics needed. Boulevard's self-booking made appointment management simple for the first time, and clients found it easy to use. But it was the depth of Boulevard's other capabilities, from HIPAA-compliant charting and reporting to SMS and email marketing, that convinced Porter she had finally found the aesthetics-tailored medspa software solution her practice needed.

How to Get Started With Boulevard

If you’re looking to switch from your current management platform to Boulevard, here’s how to make the transition seamless:

  1. Get to know your onboarding specialist:

    You’ll be assigned a dedicated specialist who will learn about your goals and help you through the setup process.

  2. Order any hardware you need:

    Have all the necessary equipment ready before asking your team to use new software. We recommend an iPad running iOS 15+ to handle check-ins and forms. Your onboarding specialist will help get you set up with the Boulevard Duo POS system.

  3. Transfer all your salon and client data:

    Create a plan to move over basic information first, such as service and product details, and then transfer data that’s frequently updated (like client records) right before launch.

  4. Customize Boulevard’s settings:

    Boulevard is designed to be flexible, so it can adapt to your service and client types.

  5. Plan a self-directed learning roadmap:

    The quicker your team learns how to use Boulevard’s features advantageously, the less disruption clients will see. Along with personalized advice from your onboarding specialist, you can reference Boulevard Academy for self-guided education and check out advanced virtual training sessions.
