It's Awesome!
One of the standout features of Vagaro is its user-friendly interface, which makes it easy for business owners and their staff to navigate the system and complete tasks quickly. The platform also offers a mobile app, which allows businesses to manage their operations on-the-go.
CONSWhile Vagaro offers a wide range of features and benefits for businesses, there are some aspects of the platform that users have criticized. One common issue that users have reported is a lack of flexibility in customizing the software to suit their specific needs.

Easy to implement, great support and customers love it!
Very easy to use and easy to follow. Within 2 days of use we felt comfortable using the whole system and learn more each day
CONSThere are still a few spa options that need added - couples massages, random scheduling where a provider is added for one shift rather than all Tuesdays, closing for holidays and 2 way texting option
Reasons for switching to Vagaro
While Zenoti has a lot of options it is difficult to manage from the back end and requires coding knowledge for their online webstore.

STAY AWAY FROM Vagaro & PAYDESK!
We’ve purchased the PAYDESK thinking it’s as legit as they made it sound on their website, We ended up with an everyday of non-ending frozen system, unable to accept clients appointment, unable to check out clients, we have to restart the system almost every time we need to check out client, or try to book a client. Unable to see client signature of the guest side, unable to have them complete forms on the guest side of the Pay Desk. We’ve been in contact with Support since the first couple days we have received the PayDesk. They have been procrastinating the process of solving the issues, scheduled multiple remote sessions to try to resolve the issues, which was a total fail! They requested videos of all the issues they couldn’t solve during the remote session they set up , and we provided, YET its been over 6 weeks of going back and forth of non-ending emails! They’ve solved absolutely NOTHING!! Everyone on the software team blames the hardware team, and here we are with a piece of crap device. They Won’t refund a device that was purchased in JULY 2022, and they have evidence of all the support tickets they’ve been receiving for the past 5 months which is since we have received. I have called and talked to many people who stated each time that would be the last time before they escalate it to the development team, and they’ll take an action! NOTHING was done.
PROSAbsolutely NOTHING! They take forever to answer a phone call if you contact support! Which will be very often once you start using their system! They’ve always had issues solving the issues you calling in regards! The worst nightmare I made a decision to use Vagaro in my business
CONSTERRIBLE customer service, Unreliable devices, unreliable software, reckless team who does not care how frustrated you or you clients are with their system! Undelivered Services, and they've always had issues when trying to solve " the issues" you contact them in regard . They only charge money for everything you sign up for, but support for their terrible device can take up to 6 months with out any solving to the issues.
Reason for choosing Vagaro
Because they're cheaper! however they're only cheap in customer service and quality! they're no longer cheaper than any other company.
Reasons for switching to Vagaro
digital forms, cheaper processing fees then! square now offer even better EMR and lower competitive processing fees for Medical Spa

After 7 years with another booking software, we switched to Vagaro in 2019 and have been very happy
We really like Vagaro. We have improved/streamlined our online booking thanks to it.
PROSThe interface is easy to navigate and is much more client-user friendly than other booking software. And Daily Deals are great!
CONSVagaro still doesn't have a lot of little features/extensions that would make doing business even easier, but they keep adding new things, which is helpful.
Reason for choosing Vagaro
Vagaro had better features.
Reasons for switching to Vagaro
Booker's interface was very rudimentary. The site was regularly down for maintenance, making it difficult to schedule or check out clients standing in front of us! And the cost kept going up for no additional features or services.

Exactly what our salon has been looking for!
Overall, Vagaro has saved me so much time as the salon coordinator. It has made things that used to be tedious, time-consuming, and ineffective so simplified. Our out-dated system had limited options on many things. The auto-texting for reminder's (previously we did all reminders by calling clients) saved out life. It has saved us on no-show appts, clients showing up at wrong times, etc. We have even saved $ on the amount of appt cards we use because client's just want the text message instead of a physical card.
PROSSO USER FRIENDLY! Our stylist's were so intimidated by getting a new software, especially after using the same, outdated one for over 15 + years. Many of them aren't the most tech-savvy individuals, but it took hardly any time at all the train them on the system. They LOVE having the ability to see their schedules from the personal smart phone/ tablet when they aren't at work. Our client's LOVE their texting reminders.
CONSOne of the main things I do wish were able to be customized would be on the daily ticket sheets we print each day. I would like to edit the amount of history for each client that is shown so that multiple pages do not print out for each client. The font is small and so i have to print it to be larger and then it ends up printing multiple unnecessary pages out.
Reason for choosing Vagaro
Price point was much better fit for our salon, as well as user- friendliness & easily navigable.
Reasons for switching to Vagaro
We really wanted the stylist's to be able to see their schedules at home, and also wanted the texting reminder's available to our clients.

Features & functionality
Vagaro keeps all of my client information, services, products, reports and finances very well organized. I've used this software for over 5 years now and my favorite thing is, it's forever changing (for the better of course). I honestly have no complaints with the way it runs, however, if I'd like to see a change all I have to do is make a request and they take it under consideration. Obviously not every suggestion can be accommodated; but for the most part it just keeps getting better and better for a very reasonable price.
CONSI wish when a customer decides they want to opt-out from receiving email marketing from one salon it wouldn't affect another. When a different business uses vagaro but the client has been to someone else and chose not receive email marketing they don't receive mine.
Reason for choosing Vagaro
Convenience at first. Where I was renting it was already being used. Now I own my own spa and don't share with anyone but continue to use it because I'm extremely satisfied with customer service and fuctionality.

Exactly what I was looking for
Before Vagaro, we had one system for point of sale, one system for booking and a third for customer information management. We wanted a system that would do all of that and move our business to the next level. Vagaro was the answer to that, bar none. To have everything in one software package eliminates errors we were making when entering in things in multiple places previously. The reporting is top notch and the ability to access everything remotely from our phones and see appointments and transactions in real-time is a great benefit.
PROSWe were looking for one single system that could do everything for our business. Point of sale, booking, inventory, online booking, excellent reporting, custom forms, email/text marketing, etc. Vagaro has it all. It's one complete package that we can access remotely and via our phones at any time.
CONSWhile this software was made mostly for Salons with numerous Stylists (Service Providers), it took a big of tweaking and being creative when setting it up for us. With us being a Sauna Studio, clients don't book people, they book actual rooms. There was a little bit of a learning curve on how to set that up properly but it works brilliantly now. I wish there was a little more customization on some deep settings, but all in all, I can't complain at all.
Reason for choosing Vagaro
Zenoti was way, way too expensive for a small business such as us and YoureOnTime didn't offer recurring payments (for memberships). They look to be great products (especially YoureOnTime), but they just didn't fit our needs 100%.
Reasons for switching to Vagaro
We wanted one program to do everything, and after researching Vagaro and trying the Free Trial, it was absolutely what we wanted...and more.
