A great experience so far...
We switched from Booker, who we had been with for 8 years, and so far the experience has been great. I love that Fresha works great on all devices and that our customers can do pretty much anything from their phones, including make and amend bookings, complete consultation forms, add payment cards, see their history etc. It's easy for our customers to book and check availability with their favourite therapist in a few clicks. The integrated payment system is good value and Fresha provide everything .. so no separate card processing, payment gateways or machine rental charges. The UK support is helpful and friendly and there are lots of articles, videos etc to help you get set up.
CONSNew features are being added all the time (you can see what's planned on their community pages). Features not currently available but in an ideal world I would like are, the migration of appointment history and existing gift vouchers, discount codes that can be promoted to clients and entered online and more options for sending out emails along the lines of MailChimp. Some of these are planned so it's still a great choice.
Reasons for switching to Fresha
Booker has a lot of great features that aren't available outside the USA / Canada and often when there are newly released features they are designed for the US regardless of the market (e.g. making State or Zip codes a required field for non-US customers). The mobile experience (a dedicated app) for us as therapists was excellent, but for our customers wanting appointments, it was an antiquated mobile site that was not user friendly.

The best software for business owners
Love it.
PROSThe fact that its so easy to use and modify menu for specials. Its simple and easy to the eye. The customer service is excellent they are super responsive with me since I started with them when they were shedul. Love this app.
CONSI haven't quite figures out how to transfer all my great reviews into google reviews. Google is a big thing for consumers so its important to have a link where this transfers or they automatically load into google is huge.
Reason for choosing Fresha
I prefer simplicity and fresha was good with the overall appearance which is easier to use and on the eyes. I also like the updates are growing and getting better.
Reasons for switching to Fresha
The ease and price range was definitely more comfortable to use.

Scam!!!!
A customer saved via the Fresha app can only delete their visit from the app so that the salon is not charged with the transaction! but if the salon does it, even though the client's visit has not taken place, the salon pays a fee! This is a blatant FRAUD!!!!!! Don't use this app!!!
PROSNothing nothing nothing nothing at all!!!!!
CONSReally bad customer service and rude !!!!!!
Reasons for switching to Fresha
Because fresha was cheaper but it’s a liar and scam!

Use with caution
I tried updating my bank account information and it took MONTHS! The process is so incredibly difficult that it makes me want to just find a better software. You have to upload several documents, wait for it to be verified which can take weeks, then you have to take your card terminal offline and wait for it to be reprogrammed which takes several days, then you have to re-board your terminal which can be tricky. Then for some reason after doing all of these steps, it was still depositing funds into my old account. Now they want me to re-do everything and then update ALL the booking links on my website. This is a nightmare. I was able to create a square account and have my bank verified instantly, so I will just use that from now on and even though the card fees are slightly higher, I'm still saving without all the hidden fees and 20% commission that these thieves try to take.
PROSVery simple for people that just need a basic software
CONSHidden fees like charging 20% for "new clients" even if they are existing clients that book with a new account. Sometimes existing clients will forget their password and just create a new account to book an appointment out of ease. Fresha claims they will recognize emails and phone numbers and not classify them as a new client but this is false. They will charge you 20% and the software doesn't allow you merge the clients together. You have to delete the new account your client created and then re-book with their existing account and then try to help them get a new password. It's absurd.
Reason for choosing Fresha
I thought the cost would be lower, but turns out it's much higher.

Fresha Review
My overall experience has been positive, once a month we to this wellness checks or courses and we send our employees to wellness appointments or health appointments, before it was really dificult to be looking for each one of them and it took a lot of time from me, since I got this app it saves time which saves me money so much easier.
PROSThe thing I like the most about Fresha is how easy is to find appointments and to schedule them, sometimes you have to be calling everywhere just for you to get an appointment but with this app it just tells you whats is available near you.
CONSThere is nothing I dislike about the app, very complete.

Fresha is INCREDIBLE
Fresha makes running my business so much easier. All the features I use are just so easy and sleek. The booking calendar, reminders, payments, stock taking. The customer service is second to none.. any issue or query is answered so quickly and always resolved.
PROSThe booking system is so easy to use, I love every feature. Booking, confirmation, payment, reschedule.. the holding card details
CONSThat I can’t sync it to my google calendar
Reason for choosing Fresha
Recommendation and using it myself for a day, I knew I loved it
Reasons for switching to Fresha
Treat well is very lacking. It’s clunky and hard to get round. As a business owner with 2 young babies, I just need something quick, simple and reliable and treat well was the opposite. I also found their team quite arrogant like what do you mean you don’t like it? lol you’ve only used it a week just very unprofessional

outgrew fresha
Fresha is a good software for a sole proprietor. they have weird hidden fees.. It feels sometimes shady when I would've paid a monthly amount. it allowed staff to cash out packages and not cash out the appointment but the appointment would show closed. this caused a lot of lost money.
PROScustomer service was great and helpfulclients found it easy to bookdeposits were taken easily
CONSswitching to another software was a nightmare everything is wonky.commission was always incorrect but only for a few transactionsa couple times my scheduled deposits were delayed once for a over a week. unreliable.
Reason for choosing Fresha
it was free and it had almost every feature we were looking for
Reasons for switching to Fresha
it had better cc rates. was able to take deposits more efficiently.

Discriminatory pricing
Frustrating.
PROSIt promise easy enrollment and easy to use for clients.
CONSI was really disappointed at the pricing of this software. You would expect to pay the same as any one using the software but I was been charged way too much just for a booking system. Fresha charges a percentage of the price of the appointment even if you don't want or need to used their card processing. So if another similar business to mine is charging lower prices they would pay less for the same usage. I try to talk to them but all they wanted was to push me to use their card processing "to see the benefit". This kind of pricing should be illegal. A business prices should not have anything to do with the pricing of the booking services. Fresha need to select a price for their services and not charge based on the business' prices.
Reasons for switching to Fresha
As a business owner, I can not afford to give away a percentage of my services for a booking system. I need a fixed price with out surprises.

Great addition to my business
LOVE
PROSIt is extremely user friendly for both myself and my clients. It updates me immediately when someone books an appointment. I researched several different applications before I decided on this one. After using it for a while I feel like I have definitely made the right choice. I have already recommended this product too many of my colleagues and plan to do so in the future. It's a great addition that makes my job much easier.
CONSSome of my clients like text message reminders when it's time for their hair cut. This way they do not have to think about it and I make sure they are in on time. I would love 4 to 6 week automatic reminders for certain clients. Honestly, this would be my only suggestion. Everything else is well-thought-out and thorough. This company has literally thought of everything.
Reason for choosing Fresha
They were quick to respond and seemed to be extremely organized.

Simple and Brilliant
I used shedul in my past job and found it easy to use for basic bookings so I decided to use it for my own business, it is extremely easy to set up and for me it was a tad more tricky as I work in 7 different salons on a monthly basis so it’s not a Mon-Fri roster! However if shedul didn’t have a feature I thought would be handy within a few hours of sending an email I had a response with a brilliant solution, Each time I can’t figure something out or I’ve been wracking my own brain the customer service team comes back really quickly with a step by step explanation on how to sort my issue! Seriously the best experience I’ve ever had with customer service in any industry!
CONSI would like the option to choose my appointment times eg. 9am, 10am not 10:15 etc
Reason for choosing Fresha
Because I have used kitomba in a previous salon and they were hopeless! I could spend 2 hours on the phone to customer service and they still couldn’t sort the issue Timely seemed ok but I had experience with shedul and I’m so glad I chose you guys!
