Vagaro Overview:

### Key takeaways

Insights from verified Capterra reviews

Vagaro helps small businesses manage appointments, payments, and client communication, with most users in wellness, cosmetics, and consumer services. Its mobile access and automated reminders stand out, though users often cite support delays and payment limitations. Recent updates like Vagaro AI and Tap to Pay on iPhone show a push toward automation and flexibility.

### Our verdict

Vagaro offers a practical solution for small businesses that need daily appointment scheduling and mobile access. While its automation tools and calendar controls are useful, buyers should expect trade-offs in support responsiveness and payment flexibility. Add-ons like branded apps and payroll expand functionality but may increase costs quickly.

Amazing! I’ve had little hiccups here’s and there but it’s been the best booking app that I’ve ever used!

Pros

I really love how easy and salon/business friendly Vagaro is to use! It truly has all the bells and whistles that an esthetician needs for her business. Client management and customer support has never been better! It truly is worth the money!

Cons

Just that we don’t have the option to close a day for specific weeks. It gives us the option to select hours but not close the day. So we have to block it off completely. But it’s not a big deal and there’s ways around it.

great so far for the value and all the add on options to be able to utilizing one platform more, for example I just switch from jotforms to vagaro forms for my waiver and I love how seamless it is with data integration etc.

Pros

great value for what you get, i also like that other people use it so its nice that some customer are already used to using it to booking other things.

Cons

it can be glitchy, ive learned to refresh and double check things, or if I get an error message when checking out a customer just go out and then back in and then that fixes it, but it does happen enough to report it as a known thing. I also have clients that do report it spinning for a long time to load class times etc and I experience the same.

Overall, I’ve had a great experience using Vagaro for my business. It’s reliable, easy to use, and helps me stay organized with bookings, payments, and client management. Their customer service has also been very helpful whenever I’ve had questions or needed support. It’s been a solid system for running my day to day operations.

Pros

I really like how user friendly Vagaro is, especially for day to day use in my business. The layout is simple and easy to navigate which makes booking appointments, managing my schedule, and checking clients in very efficient. I also appreciate how everything is in one place, from payments to client history, which helps me stay organized and save time.

Cons

One thing I wish Vagaro offered is the option to pass processing fees onto clients or at least have more flexibility with payment processing options. As a small business owner, those fees can add up quickly, so having that option would make a big difference. Other than that, the platform works well overall, but that feature would definitely improve it.

Overall good at and easy to use once you get the hang of all the features with great capabilities and customer service.

Pros

Overall, I Vagaro is amazing. To have email marketing, point of sale system, booking, no fees on transactions, and 24 hr assistance is valuable. Customer support is always helpful.

Cons

The reason I give it a 4 star is that there are no 40 minute options for a service. It can't be that hard to add that as an option. It would tremendously help out my business and the way barbers work with their clients. 30 minutes too short and 45 too long and messes up booking by creating less availability throughout the day. I ask at least monthly for this to happen. Please change this as this would be the only reason I depart from Vagaro.

My overall experience with regard has been raged. I definitely prefer it over square I was gonna use Washington but decided to go with Vagaro because I saw so many websites that I really enjoyed navigating and looking at it is a pretty seamless process. I think what I don’t like also is that I have to make a profile in order to book but anyways, actually that is a positive thing so I’m adjusting well.

Pros

My favorite thing about Vagaro is the customer support. I love how every time I call they always ask my information they doubled down on my security question. They always check through everything thoroughly with me and make sure I have an understanding they even offered to do things they are able to do on their side if I’m busy and then wait for me to confirm that it has been done!

Cons

The least thing I like about Vagaro is the fact that I cannot do deposits without having the shopping cart purchased so I pay an extra fee just to collect fees to protect my business so that is an unfortunate side of it as well as I do not like that, you cannot customize the amount of a deposit per an appointment that it has to be a set amount per service.

[Square Point of Sale](https://www.capterra.com/p/275802/Square-Point-of-Sale/)

Square fees as well as making a website with them was super difficult. I had to work with multiple outside parties to create a template and then every time I wanted to edit it, I had to go back into those to make small changes and it was really hard to get them to save.

I've been with Vagaro for 9 years. I think that about sums it up! I'm able to pull multiple reports such as sales, and birthdays that month to name a few.

Pros

Scheduling snd appointment management is perfect in that it is very user friendly and frees my time up from rescheduling when life happens. Customer support is always available and thorough in helping whenneeded.

Cons

I wish it had the ability to set up KPI'S for goals. I also don't like the new way of character counting for text message promotions.

I love the extensive records that I can access for clients and for business. It keeps track of everything, it’s all available right at your finger tips. I started with Vagaro and then thought about switching to something cheaper but I hated it and quickly went back to using Vagaro.

Pros

I love the ease of scheduling. I not only use it for my work schedule, I also use it for personal scheduling too. I have never had any issue with using Vagaro.

I don’t really have any cons. I’ve enjoyed using Vagaro. It’s super easy for me and for clients booking online.

It has been wonderful. The check out process is fairly easy as well as booking Cilents for their appointments.

Pros

It allows me to have more than one profile for service providers. This is extremely important to growing our business

How Capterra ensures transparency

Capterra lists all providers across its website—not just those that pay us—so that users can make informed purchase decisions. Capterra is free for users.
