    Let the buyer beware!

    Let the buyer beware! Vagaro charged me for 2 add-on services without my request or consent. I discovered the mistake within 24 hours and contacted them immediately. After being put off for several weeks via chat/email, I finally realized their "no refunds" policy apparently worked to hold them blameless and $$ ahead. There was something tricky (to their advantage) about how the charges were implemented in the first place -- a back door approach when I migrated from Schedulicity.

    Any company which cannot acknowledge and correct its own mistakes is not one I care to continue doing business with.

    We understand your frustration with the loss of past appointment history when you reassigned calendars for your employees. Our team reviewed the issue and provided a report as a workaround to help retrieve past appointment and customer information. As a courtesy, we’ve also requested further review from our Development team to determine whether any options are available to restore the historical appointments to your calendar.

    This was absolutely one of the worst…

    This was absolutely one of the worst experiences I have had. I had a very pushy salesman call me I ended up paying $23.99 for three months even though I attempted to cancel it I attempted everything I needed to do to set up this platform I was promised that I would be featured and be available on the front page and therefore I would get a lot more customers than any of their competitors like bookie or any other platform. I made not one book clean no additional customers just money in the hole. I canceled it on the first day of the month finally, after attempting to cancel it and not being able to, I had to speak with someone who walked me through, not only the cancellation process, but the set up process, which I thought I had done, but I didn’t actually do Stay away from these guys. They’re very predatory if you’re busy and you’re working a lot, this is not platform for you it is not easily navigated. Customer support is not available on a regular basis. They’ll tell you they’ll set up these meetings and these opportunities to walk you through everything. They just kind of talk to you during those things. I thought I had done everything the guy told me and that’s not the truth. Exceptionally long story short not worth one penny except maybe the initial one dollar to get started.

    I wish I could give 0 stars

    I wish I could give 0 stars. I purchased a PayPro duo/dual. It wouldn’t connect to WiFi so I reached out to support. After TWO WEEKS of back of forth, they couldn’t find an issue. After doing more research I realized how bad vagaro has been to others so I told them nvm just let me return this. They call me saying okay well let you return it then email me saying they can’t accept the return. So now I’m out $850 on a POS system that doesn’t even work.

    Hello Jeff, we understand how frustrating this experience has been, especially after spending so much time working with our Support team. After reviewing the issue, we determined that the connectivity problems were related to your Wi-Fi or service rather than the PayPro device itself. Our team offered an exchange to help resolve the issue; however, you requested a full return. As outlined in our purchase policy, PayPro devices are not eligible for refunds, and this policy was agreed to at the time of purchase. We remain committed to helping you get your PayPro working as expected and are happy to continue working with you to troubleshoot the connectivity issues and find a resolution.

    The customer service really kept me on board

    Although had a few teething issues with the app itself. Carl from the onboarding team was excellent, nothing was too much trouble, extremely easy to communicate with and made the whole process more personal to my business. I have tried a few booking systems over the years and the customer service was not a fraction as helpful or as prompt to respond.

    Estera built my website and was extremely patient with me during a particularly busy time renovating my salon while pregnant and trying to work with clients at the same time and worked around my slow response time that took a lot of pressure off. She made it effortless in creating what I wanted.

    I’m glad I made the move over. With excellent customer service and great sales features I can elevate running my business and have it run itself while I take time off.

    The Vagaro staff are always so helpful

    The Vagaro staff are always so helpful. The app is great and offers a ton of functionality. Vagaro is easy to use on your phone, as well as on a computer, which is definitely not the case for some of the other apps I have experimented with.

    My experience with Vagaro has been…GREAT!

    My experience with Vagaro has been wonderful. Customer phone support to me is everything and their team is there 24/7, patient and responsive.
    The booking system is easy to learn, and the phone support and support from Jasmine in their Pleasanton office make navigating it even easier.

    I found this app/platform to be tedious…

    I found this app/platform to be tedious and not the most user friendly in this digital age. If you have a lot of services that you’d like to make available, creates a heavy workload. Also, not easy to manage your account if needed. I canceled within a day full well knowing that this wasnt for me and yet they charged me for two months. I had to set up a call to have someone help stop the charges. And when asked for the two month refund was told that was my fault because i took up platform space? Nothing short of a scam. I’d highly recommend something else like square.

    I have been searching for the right hairdresser for years!

    I have been searching for the right hairdresser for years and have tried many different stylists along the way. I can honestly say that Steven Dattilo at Dattilo Hair in Branford, CT, has exceeded my expectations in every way.
    He is the first hairdresser I’ve ever had who has taken the time to truly assess my hair, listen carefully to what I want, and then meticulously work toward achieving the style I’m looking for. He never rushes through an appointment. His attention to detail is remarkable, and the care and precision he puts into every part of the cut is unlike anything I’ve experienced before.
    Steven took that same thoughtful approach with my color. He spent time discussing what I wanted, offered his professional input, and made sure we were on the same page before moving forward. He also took the time to recommend products specifically suited to my hair and explain how to best care for and style it at home. I couldn’t be happier with both the cut and the color.
    What impressed me even more was that after my very first appointment, Steven actually called me a couple of weeks later to see how I was liking my hair and how the cut was working for me after I’d had some time to live with it. In all my years of going to salons, I have never had a hairdresser do that. To me, that speaks volumes about how much he genuinely cares about his clients and the quality of his work.
    After years of searching, I finally feel like I’ve found someone who truly understands my hair and what I’m trying to achieve. Steven’s patience, skill, attention to detail and commitment to getting it right have gone far beyond my expectations. I couldn’t recommend Steven Dattilo and Dattilo Hair more highly.

    We were very excited to start using Vagaro, but they froze my account, and now we have no access to our funds or even our transaction reports. This is completely unacceptable. The verification process should have been completed before we created our website and began accepting payments through the platform, not afterward.

    Bankrupted My Company

    I am a small business owner, or rather I should say I was a small business owner. We were actually doing pretty well, raking in about 40k a week, when I decided to switch to Vagaro, thinking it would help me to take my website to the next level. Three weeks later I lost my business, entirely because of Vagaro. They randomly decided to refund all of my clients, or worse yet I'm pretty sure they just stole all of the money I made and kept it for themselves. When I tried to talk to customer service they very rudely told me that I never had any transaction history to begin with. But I know for a fact that it used to say that I did. All of that disappeared with their intentionally faulty tech. This is 100% a scam company created by sociopaths and there's no way that what they're doing is legal. I don't know how they've managed to get away with it for so long. I wish I knew about Trustpilot earlier because everyone else is saying the same things. I don't even have any money to take them to court because now I'm in debt. I hope these criminals are put in jail like they deserve. They are breaking the law and I will be reporting them to the police and FBI if they don't give me my money back.

    Carl made the Vagaro set up straightforward and stres feee

    The set up with Vagaro was made pretty straightforward by having Carl lead me through the journey. Nothing was roo much trouble and he was so patient with me, when I had no idea what I was doing. Now, I am confident in what ai am doing. Carl was always quick to get back to me and explained everything well so I was clear with ehat to do. I now hope to grow my business with Vera Fill my books, now thar I have been through the set up. Having someone there to talk to and ask questions to is a fantastic system. I was lucky that Carl was so empathetic and kind, as well as being so knowledgeable about Vagaro and how it works. I hope all Vagaro employees are as good as Carl. Carl is an asset to Vagaro.
