Vagaro Pro 4+

Salon pro who gave up pencil & paper

I’m your everyday stylist who is busy with life and working 5-6 days behind the chair, two kids an husband etc. I’m at my 10 year mark and I realized I was getting burnt out from my phone. Some days I’d have anywhere between 20-75 missed texts….yes you read that right. I was drowning in requests, appointment changes, Pinterest pictures, questions etc. After a 12 hour day behind the chair, I’d then go home to my husband and kids and crash before another long day…leaving little time for the most important part….customer service.

I had battled wanting to switch to a booking app because I’m a little bit of a control freak but let me tell you the customization available in Vagaro, has literally given me a second set of hands and another brain. My clients can book, change Apts, send their friends my link to refer them to me. It’s cut back on my personal reach outs by about 75-85%……it’s life changing.

Client satisfaction has always been the most important to me. And with the demand rising even more I was at a point my people were suffering because I’m a one woman show. But now vagaro took a weight off my shoulders and I will never look back! I’m obsessed, and so are all my clients. Their feedback has been 110% positive and that speaks for itself!

Awesome do-it-all app for a great price!

I’ve had this app for a short time but it really does it all. After looking at probably 50 scheduling systems and trying out 15, I chose Vagaro because it did it all. For only $35/mo., I could create and schedule my yoga classes for my students to book; sell memberships, packages, and gift cards; and create a self-service scheduling system for them to book private appointments based on their availability. Also - the payment processor is super easy to set up and at industry lows for costs. Recurring payments, cancellation fees and refunds, I mean you name it - this does it. It’ll also automate your emails which means less time-consuming text messages from me the day before explaining all the dos and donts before an appointment… all of it is automated! Customer service is super responsive and helpful, and I LOVE the “checkout” option for anyone who didn’t pay online beforehand or who does walk-in appointments. I foresee this saving a TON of time that I just don’t have while working a full time job while getting my business off the ground. Thanks, Vagaro! I look forward to becoming successful while using your platform!

Thank you for hitting the nail on the head in this amazing review, and thank you for being a loyal customer.

Good but could be better

The app itself is great because of its ability to allow for handling of business anywhere you need it. Easy for customers to use and provides many of the necessary tools for providers and owners alike. So many ways to make it applicable to each individual service, class or even the selling of products without being tethered to a desktop server. Some of the downsides, clients are able to make duplicate profiles because other businesses use the same app based product. Clients can easily forget their logins and we don’t have them so they create another. We don’t have the ability to clean duplicates up ourselves as it pertains to our individual business. You must notify the company thus losing some control of the business from a client retention ratio because it isn’t always accurate. Opening a clients ticket and adding products to it and being able to come back later with all the info saved would also be helpful. If you have more than one person working and products are sold it can cause confusion as to what has been rung up and what hasn’t. Just some things to consider. I’ve used it for 10 years though and I must say it has served me and my business well. 4/5 stars because it does deserve a closer look if you are considering it.
