Vagaro reviews

I always get a real person on the phone.

Sometimes the connection is bad. But they help me through it.

I love how organized this platform is and easy to book!

I wish there was an option where you could all your past bookings.

Not sure how I feel about it. I have completely mixed views. I signed up for a trial period, when I thought my business would be opening in May, It is now September and I am about to open. The trial period, did not let me obviously try the debit card or payment options. Then from my understanding if you didn't click to continue the trial period, you were no longer getting the service. Yet I am being asked to pay $40.00, $35.00 plus a late fee, for service used in June. But my trial period was end of May to June, so this put me off. THEN they locked me out of my account and are asking me to pay a past due balance of $40.00 but what will happen then, that's just to unlock my account and then are they going to charge me for what more months of NON -USAGE. I sent emails but they bounced back with literally, we've detected key words in your email that this filter system won't allow anyone to respond to. Now imagine if I were up and running and this happened? When I was using the trail period, here is what I somewhat liked:
The landing page
The reminders although I felt like the customer emails were lacking in personal touch and were standard, and seemed very automated to me and "cold." I couldn't figure out how to personalize it. Then the location was neat, but again. The email reminders were a little one liner, reminder but something about them felt off putting. Not sure, I did find the landing page creation challenging but nonetheless they give you a landing page. The add ons are expensive so for a software all of a sudden you can come up to over $200 I get it, but why is there nothing for a start up, entrepreneur? The $50.00 program seemed ideal and overall it seems like a good software but this $40.00 is absolutely offputting to me, so if I pay them and still can't access my account, they would have gained $40.00 for me for after a trial period where I was not using the program? So I don't know. BUT i do suggest doing the trial period. I 've done several with some others and so far, nothing seems to be wowing me or they're way to expensive for my start up.

Their capacity to shut your account down if there is a missed payment. Imagine running a business and that happens.

How they help you set up. That's about it

How of a month of using Vagaro no one has helped me get my cc payments in the app. Customer service tech support is incapable of any help. I feel frustrated no one has helped

Initially, I thought this was going to be our all in one software. I looked at about 15 alternates and decided to choose Vagaro, despite it being a bit slower to operate than others, a clunky UI, and some missing features. Overall, I thought it had what I needed.

Where do I start..? I’m going to cover their main issue. The application is extremely unreliable and I cannot trust this application at all. I am very good with technology and report analysis. I have pulled various reports out of Vagaro that reflect completely inaccurate information, including their payroll reports. The gross pay amounts change each time you refresh the page - not kidding. My commissioned employees clock in and out and their hours are not reflected on the payroll report, causing state taxes to be underpaid and putting my business at risk. Don’t bother reaching out to customer support because they will shrug it off as a non-issue and claim you are operating things incorrectly. They’ll tell you that a feature request will be submitted on your behalf. Falls on deaf ears. Unreal. UI - The application frequently freezes up, screens lock you into a window, forcing you to refresh the page, losing all information contained. Setup - limited capabilities here so this will work fine if you are a basic salon. If you have any intricacies at all, don’t bother.

It looks great. I switched from a different EHR because this looked like it had more options, better options.

You can't fully set up your profile until you migrate you information over. Once you do that, you cannot do it again, so if you are continuing to use your old software while to get Vagaro setup, you can't update it again later. If you cancel, they continue to charge you, even if aren't using it, or can't use it. The promise features that are still in development, so when you try to incorporate them, you're told they are not available yet. Just offer a good product and and let people leave if it doesn't work. Charging on the front end before you get set up, and charge them again when they try and leave, just so annoying!

Quick online scheduling with business information.

Difficult to navigate between webpages at time.

I like the way everything is integrated. It easy to work with.

Sometimes when you do an update you move things that don't need to be moved

Very easy to use to book appointments abs send reminders automatically

It doesn’t tell you who canceled when they cancel

It is easy to set up and implement. Existing customers adapted to using it quickly and new customers love to be able to do everything from a phone.

I currently have no complaints about this system. It achieves everything I need it to.

I like the ease with which customers can get text verification and book with just a few clicks on their mobile app. I also like the fact that their email system can successfully send emails. It's the best feature product that can be fairly easily customized.

There really isn't a downside to not getting help from the tutorial video. I liked everything that was totally fine

It has been very Affordable and hence it was a good choice for us.

Our practice needed more features than what it had to offer. it worked great for the last few years but we have grown out of their space which i think they are working on expanding. They have been great overall. Would definitely recommend it.

I am so frustrated with the issues I had trying to set up their credit card processing (required if you want online booking functionality) that I don't have anything good to say about them.

They require you to set up Credit Card Processing through them if you're going to use the online booking feature of the software, but they don't have a way to do this as a corporate entity. They want whoever the primary user of the software to be who the application is under even if that person is not the company owner and they want you to take photos of that person's drivers license and send a selfie to verify identity. When you're a corporation, usually the person filling out the application is different than the primary user is different than the company owner, but they don't seem to have any way to do this without acting like you're a one-man shop and providing information that isn't actually correct for your business.

Customer service has been impeccable for me. The willingness to adhere to customers needs and their vast ability to adapt to changing of the industry is a huge plus. Buy now pay later is a great way to now upsell high end products.

The Pricing on text marketing I think is costly.

Easy to book appointments and check out clients

I enjoy Vagaro and the only con I don’t like is the processing fees

What I like is its simple and distinctive composition.

Customer support is not responding quickly and this is a problem.
