3.0

Chermaine C.: My name is Chermaine. I'm a small business owner. My business is Kemetic Aesthetics. We have about nine employees. We're in the health and fitness/yoga industry, and I would give it a three. Mind Body previously and Acuity Scheduling. And I chose Vagaro because it was a lot easier for clients to book appointments. So the reasons I chose Vagaro is it is a simpler system compared to other scheduling platforms that clients can book their appointments and is fairly reasonable. So a good value for the price versus Mind Body as they were increasing their rates. Basically all I had to do was download the software. I was able to export a lot of the data from other platforms that we're using, like the client data. And it's very easy to get it integrated with the website and also share it with clients, the link. So it wasn't a difficult process at all to get started. I would definitely say that it is a very easy to use, user-friendly software system that clients like booking appointments with. And also it's like a no frills, very simple. So if you were looking for more features, I would maybe not use Vagaro, but if you wanted something simple and that the clients really enjoy then that was a good value. Vagaro is good for that.
