November 28, 2019 5.0 This tool has accompanied me since my business started, when it was a small undertaking because it provided me with automation in the scheduling of appointments, so it helped me to quickly develop an organized and effective way of working, so my customers are very satisfied with the services provided, should not wait long to be served because thanks to the self-service portal can make reservations online according to the schedule of their preference, however the greatest benefit I got with this tool was the visualization of my work through the gallery, which helped me increase my customer base, in addition to digital marketing promotions on different social networks, have helped me to my work as a stylist is recognized. Pros StyleSeat is a web-based solution that allows you to schedule appointments, book online through the self-service portal, manage employees, inventories and payrolls, plus a customer database and billing. An aspect to emphasize of this program is that it offers differences with others available in the market, provides a photo gallery, in which your customers or people who visit your profile, can see part of your work, in addition, has a powerful digital marketing tool that will serve for promotional campaigns, on the other hand, it is very easy to configure and has a configuration wizard and its design is very simple so it facilitates its use. You have an extraordinary quality-price ratio, as it offers a lot of functionality at a modest price. Cons Its operation is outstanding, however, I would like the development of a mobile application, as it will facilitate access to this platform. Review Source CJ Charlie J. Hair Stylist Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Client Fees" January 22, 2020 4.0 My overall experience is ok, but it doesn't allow me to add important info about services. My clients are tipping me less because of the booking fees. Pros It is user friendly and I am able to set up my services easy with pricing, time frame, and description. Cons My clients are complaining about all of the fees that they are being charged and I am getting the backlash. Switched from [Booksy Biz](https://www.capterra.com/p/142741/Booksy/) I am switching because if the new booking fees that my clients are complaining about. Review Source ML Mikki L. President Cosmetics Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Veteran Stylist and StyleSeat user" August 27, 2026 3.0 I don’t have another platform to compare as I’ve only used StyleSeat. Overall it’s been ok. It has grown over the years. Pros The fact that it’s a place for my clients to book me. And it’s one of the largest platforms that most know for booking services. I also love to option for business capital Cons Charging pros for new clients. When they already pay for the platform. Clients choose a service provider based off reviews not their marketing. As a veteran in the industry with a large clientele that grows my business organically via my social platforms and networking, I absolutely hate that they charge the providers Review Source Henk M. Remote Technical Support Representative Consumer Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great user interface for your client!" March 11, 2019 4.0 Pros Extremely convenient for both myself and my client, they can book an appointment and see availability from nearly anywhere their phone, their computer etc. I can see what exactly they need done and make my schedule work better for me so everyone is happy. Cons I have almost nothing bad to say about this, besides I wish all my clients would use it exclusively. Review Source Jessica M. Founder, Co Owner, & Designer Design Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "I have used Styleseat to schedule several my hair appointments." April 15, 2019 5.0 Pros I had a stylist that used Styleseat to schedule all of her appointments and list out all of her services. This platform is fantastic, reliable and also includes reviews for potential clients to read before booking. It's great! Cons I haven't come across anything that I haven't liked about this software yet. Review Source GS Geraldine S. Sales associate Makeup artist Retail Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Mediocre but not the worst" May 4, 2026 3.0 It was okay, Could be better overall. The service was mediocre and im not gonna lie i only liked the fact that i could recieve reviews Pros I liked the fact that clients can leave detailed reviews about me and my service…to me this was the only good feature Cons I hated the subscription pricing. Its not worth it in my opinion as they should still offer a free option Switched from [Vagaro](https://www.capterra.com/p/153752/Vagaro/) I needed something more affordable and price worthy Review Source SW Shondriale W. Owner Consumer Goods Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great for starters " September 13, 2025 3.0 I wouldn’t have left if they had an option to personalize my page and if they allowed me to take deposits. They may have updated that now but if not would definitely be something worth adding Pros I love the fact that stylist will promote you and help you get new clients I was a new braider when I signed up and it help bring a lot of NEW people Cons When I last used them they didn’t do deposits which was needed. I also didn’t like the limited appearance Alternatives considered [GlossGenius](https://www.capterra.com/p/174830/GlossGenius/) Reason for choosing StyleSeat I left styleseat to go to glossgenius because at the time they offered deposits and personalization Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Hairstylist Cosmetics Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "These people are BIG SCAMMERS!!! they will take money from your account " August 20, 2022 1.0 Pros This company is very complicated to use. Number one: they allow clients to take their money back after a service. Number 2: they don’t have a good enough contact system. When you need help no number to call just a stupid email that takes 5 business days to even get a response. Number 3: they don’t care about their workers they take most of your hard earn money. This business is not a professional at all!! Why wouldn’t you want to help your workers that’s making this app move but no they don’t care. All they care about is your money . Don’t use this app save your time. They will take money from your account without knowing. Switched from [Booksy Biz](https://www.capterra.com/p/142741/Booksy/) Because StyleSeat is a fraudulent app!! I can’t no longer trust them after they went and took 37 out of my account and allowed a client to take their money back after a service. Review Source Kevin T. Recruiter Internet Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Style Seat: was a decent service when it was free. " January 2, 2019 3.0 I see that it’s successful for some beauty professionals and then there’s folks like me where it did nothing for me. Pros It was fairly straightforward on set up and the free version (which is no longer) had the features I needed. Cons Being a hair stylist, I never obtained any new clients, phone calls or email inquires. It’s a pay only service now. Review Source taylor W. Makeup artist Cosmetics Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Not my favorite " April 5, 2020 3.0 It wasn’t my favorite app I rather use a free app like square and just do my own marketing Pros I like that the app allows people to find you and book you for a service. You can also take payments. Cons The actually search feature doesn’t make it worth the $35 a month plus service fees for charging through app Review Source JM Jarah M. Owner Retail Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Building clients " July 12, 2024 4.0 Pros When I used, LLC was at the beginning of my Hairstylist career, I love the fact that people were able to find me using the search feature, and that is what help me to grow my business rapidly Cons Price increases over time and the quality of the product didn’t Review Source SP Stephanie P. Coach E-Learning Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Styleseat is great " March 3, 2020 5.0 I enjoyed the service. I don’t enjoy the fact that people that haven’t received the service are still allowed to review as long as they have booked an appointment. So even if someone’s appointment is canceled they are still allowed to leave a review which led to receiving bad reviews from people that were attacking my business. Ultimately that led me to switch to another platform. Pros I love how the customers can leave reviews and the ease of setting up. It’s also aesthetically pleasing. Cons I wish I had more options to add add-ons and additional services instead of me having to create a different package for each option. Review Source LS Lateema S. Cosmetologist Arts and Crafts Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Styleseat" July 22, 2019 5.0 Pros Easy to setup appts Can make payments Reviews on stylist Can find a stylist anywhere Cons No problems at all All good here Maybe decline fee Review Source VS Vanessa S. Nail Tech Consumer Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Review" April 18, 2019 5.0 Pros I love that you get clients by using this service. You are able to look up services in your area. It is definitely a great marketing tool. Cons I don't like That you cant rearrange pictures They raised the cost from 0 a month to 35t hat you have to create an acct to see a profile or book with someone That you have to have add ons as a a service instead of a sub service Review Source NW Nicole W. Licensed cosmetologist Cosmetics Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Stylist that used style seat for 8 years " June 15, 2021 5.0 I enjoyed it minus the checkout portion of the appointment. Pros Very nice presentation, very personalized Cons Charged clients for the convenience of booking online. Review Source DW Destiny W. Lash extension tech Cosmetics Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great" September 6, 2022 5.0 Pros Ease of use of the software. Very easy to move around Cons The refresh sometimes takes you all the way back to the top Review Source BJ Brandi J. Lash artist Cosmetics Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Tricky to use " October 15, 2019 5.0 Pros The very easy way to post all of my services Cons It was hard to add pictures, some would post but not all.

General Manager Cosmetics Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "We really like Style Seat" November 4, 2022 5.0 Pros We love the entire idea behind them featuring new talent. It is the best way to find a new stylist. Cons We don't have any pros this is great software for anyone looking to start over or find new talent. Review Source DJ Daizsa J. Professional Makeup Artist Cosmetics Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great Marketing tool" February 4, 2020 4.0 Style Seat has been the best software for finding me clients. So many people say they found me on style seat! Pros I got so many clients from style seat in the first few days of me using it. I noticed, after about a week though, the clients did start to slow down. Cons The only thing I really did like was the marketing. Review Source AM Arear M. Cosmetologist Consumer Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Styleseat concerns" May 28, 2025 3.0 It was good. There were a couple of times that appts were allowed to be scheduled outside of my hours. Pros My client's ability to schedule 24/7. The site sent out automatic reminders for me. The simplicity of the site. Cons I started being charge for what was free without adding any benefits. It was years ago. So maybe they have upgraded. Review Source CC Chermaine C. Business owner Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Booking tool that markets " May 11, 2025 4.0 Popular tool that allows clients to book appointments and business is marketed among other similar businesses. Pros It is popular tool for clients booking appointments and you can market within the app among other businesses. Cons It cam be quite expensive to use compared to other client booking platforms on the market and the features offered. Review Source BJ Bre J. Lash artist Cosmetics Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Style seat Review " December 7, 2024 3.0 It was okay but it was confusing to work with I often had appointments from people that I didn’t get to consult with Pros They find you appointments that I did enejoy Cons They are not easy to navigate and that’s important Review Source AC Alake C. Attorney Law Practice Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Theft and Fraud" May 20, 2022 1.0 Pros None, scammer company, will never use again, they stole money from me and refused to refund it. Cons I attempted to make an appointment for June 2 and the system made an appointment for June 2 and May 20. The May 20 appointment must have been made in error when the computer froze, as it froze when I was waiting for the confirmation of the appointment to load. I never got a confirmation about a May 20 appointment, only June 2. I never went to the May 20 appointment because I never made it and knew nothing about it. Then Style seat charged my card $60 and claimed they were going to add a 20% tip for a service I never had, for an appointment I never made! When I sent them proof of the appointment I attempted to make and told them the may 20 appointment was an error, I never clicked on anything or attempted to make it, they told me they couldn't refund my money. The stylist would have to refund my money. So you can take my money and take a tip but you can't refund my money! I will never book another appointment on this fraudulent system ever again. Be careful about using this. Your card could be charged for an appointment you never made and then you will have to go through your bank to try and get your money back, for services you never received, for an appointment you never made! Scammer app. Review Source CH Candice H. Scripted Development Associate Entertainment Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Horrible Customer Service/Horrible App" March 17, 2021 2.0 Pros It lets you find hairstylists in your area when you're new or the service you need for your hair is scarce. In my case, getting relaxers in Los Angeles is like finding water in the desert. It's incredibly hard to find professional hairstylists who know how to do the service. So within these last few years, I've been depending on Stylseat and it's issue after issue constantly. Cons Customer service is atrocious. You can't speak to a human, and even when you submit a request (type in all the fields) they still just send an automated response that's incredibly unhelpful. They just-- don't want to do their jobs and that's depressing. If you have time-sensitive policies that require certain actions, not having time-sensitive customer service makes absolutely no sense. I had to change my entire card information just so they wouldn't charge me for a service I no longer needed (and they wouldn't let me change online). Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Full Time Translator Publishing Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "A niche booking system" November 2, 2021 4.0 Pros While managing Sauna & Spa resort, the Availability feature is critical. And this software does its job perfectly here. Cons The software indeed needs a lot of other features like Billing & Invoicing, Automated Scheduling and Attendance Tracking.
