About Vagaro
Vagaro is a web-based solution for salon and fitness center owners to promote their services and connect with customers through ‘Vagaro.Com’ website and Vagaro’s mobile app. It is a B2C platform wherein salons, spa and studios can register and create a profile, advertise their brand, promote new events and book appointments/classes with customers.
With Vagaro, business owners can create a customized website with complete information about their venue, staff bios, services they offer and their working hours. Salons can display which booking slots are available for the day, week or month and allow customers to book an appointment at a time that's convenient to them. Vagaro allows users to send text and email notifications to customers, confirming the appointment, then send alerts and reminders for appointments booked.
Users can build a customer database by importing contacts from an excel or .csv file or pulling contacts directly from their mobile. Customers can post feedback on a Salon's Vagaoro page, for them to view. Salon owners can also manage internal activities such as generating sales & service reports, monitoring business progress with real time analytics, clock-in & clock-out, staff attendance, and map with payroll service.
Vagaro solution offers an integrated point of sale (POS) feature to sell gift certificates, products or packages to customers online and via mobile. Currently, Vagaro offers its services across Australia, Canada, United Kingdom and USA.

Good value for the price

Pros
I set this software up for a massage therapist shop. It was for an individual who needed to contract out 2 services, yoga and massage therapy. In order to do that, we had to buy 2 subscriptions what was sort of a pain. However, the ease of use of software was great. There's integration into yelp and facebook. It integrates right into your google calendar which is super important for people that are really busy. Also its way cheaper than mind body so that's a bonus.
They provide everything you need in order to setup a successful massage shop or whatever in fitness you are doing. They even take credit card for services. If you swipe it on your phone in the mobile app, it will ask you for a tip. On ipad, it doesn't.
Also vagaro allows you to rebook an appointment on the spot which I found very convenient for rebookings.
Cons
It was really hard to setup multiple services within the shop. I had to setup yoga and massage under 2 different employees but the same name, with 2 different google calendars. It was really messy. It works best when you have employees and can set them up under services they provide, if your solo and provide more than 1 service that aren't related, its hard.

Overall it's a good experience. It's competitively priced and the ease of use means that I am unlikely to change anytime soon. However, it really does feel like there needs to be some time and attention given to the calendar and how that integrates as it feels very limited currently.
Pros
The functionality of Vagaro is its biggest strength. It's so easy to use even for a bit of a technophobe like myself
Cons
The calendar integration has been its biggest letdown for me, I have had several problems with it but after having a play about, I've made it work

This app is very fun to set up and navigate. I really enjoy starting my own business. It's easy to use, and you can simplify and personalize it as you want.
Pros
Customers love how easy it is to make appointments online. It's like how you customize confirmation notifications for your customers.Customers like how easy it is to get text confirmation with just a few clicks and book on a mobile app. I also like that I trust the email system that sends emails successfully.
Cons
There was a problem refreshing the page and connecting to another site. I was busy sometimes because there were a lot of advertisements from other companies. You can't print an address to make a call, you just need to make a call. You have to write the customer address by hand every day.
Response from Vagaro
Hello, there is a section in the customers profile for you to input their address, you don't need to hand write their information! We would be happy to assist connecting your Vagaro page with another website, please contact out support team at 9254641932 for troubleshooting!

Best software I could find to run my business with ease.

Pros
Ease and convenience for me and my clients, And when I need help it does not take long for assistance to get me answers.
Cons
I had a client that booked and paid for her fathers appointment but realized at a later date that he could not make that time. When I tried to move the appointment, it would not let me because it was already paid for with a credit card. And I was unable to undue the checkout to change it.
Reasons for Switching to Vagaro
I liked that it was basically a one stop shop, I can have all my services, sell product or classes, make and check out appointments with ease. And it pretty much does my book keeping for me for ease when filing taxes. My clients love it as well they always tell me it beats calling a spa to beg them for an appointment with me.- Industry: Food & Beverages

Pros
Vagaro is very helpful for managing my team’s appointments and generating invoices. The user interface is easy to use, and customer service has been great when I’ve had any questions or needed help with something.
Cons
Though Vagaro is really useful, there are a few areas where it could be improved. For example, it doesn’t offer the ability to track payments made by customers outside of the platform, which can make it difficult to maintain accurate records.
