🔄 Moving from DaySmart Software to salonMonster

We can import your clients , bookings , and products from DaySmart so you don’t have to start from scratch. Follow the steps below to export your data and send it to us—then we’ll handle the import. 🪄

ℹ️ Heads-up about DaySmart exports:

Many users report they cannot export everything themselves in DaySmart. In those cases, contact DaySmart Support and request a one-time export. They often send clients/products/services (sometimes gift cards) and occasionally appointments— but frequently only an XML backup we cannot use . If that happens, ask them specifically for CSV or Excel (XLS/XLSX) files for Clients and Appointments .
