The app makes it easy to browse available time slots, schedule appointments, and receive reminders, which helps keep our busy family schedule organized. I appreciate that I can book appointments online without having to make phone calls, and the confirmation and reminder notifications help ensure we don't miss appointments. Being able to manage appointments directly from my phone is especially helpful when juggling multiple kids and activities. That said, my experience has been good but not exceptional. While the app is functional, I sometimes find the interface a little cluttered, and certain features can take extra taps to find. The overall experience depends a lot on how each business uses the platform, so consistency can vary. Overall, Vagaro is a solid scheduling app that makes booking and managing appointments easier. It may not be the most polished platform available, but it's convenient and gets the job done. ----- ### "Love Vagaro" — 4.0/5 > **Jasmine** | *18 April 2026* | Cosmetics | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like that my Clients don’t need to have the app as well so makes it more convenient for them especially my senior clients > > **Cons**: I don’t like that the app Lags a lot and force closes on me. Sometimes the date at the top will not match the actual calendar date > > Overall it’s very Easy to use on my end ,convenient for my clients ,very user friendly and priced fairly ----- ### "Great Website/App" — 5.0/5 > **Erica** | *23 March 2026* | Cosmetics | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Love the convenience, the fact that you can keep a card on file and that you can easily see all past/present and future appointments. > > **Cons**: Often times the website/app is super slow and glitches with my appointments. Other than that, I haven't had many issues. ----- ### "Powerful application, but completely unsuitable for our industry" — 2.0/5 > **Ron** | *27 July 2026* | Industrial Automation | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: The platform provides excellent online appointment booking, visual calendar management, automated reminders, and payment processing. > > **Cons**: It lacks any functionality suited for industrial asset management, complex technical maintenance, service contracts, or engineering BOMs. > > An excellent tool in its intended industry (beauty/wellness), but entirely irrelevant for our industrial maintenance and engineering needs. ----- ### "Good for Solo Stylists, NOT for Multi-Location Salons" — 1.0/5 > **Carlos** | *20 May 2026* | Cosmetics | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: User-friendly interface and can work well for independent suite renters, solo stylists, or smaller studio environments. > > **Cons**: Extremely disappointed with and the lack of transparency surrounding support, hardware compatibility, and overall system reliability. We invested in the PayPro \& Go system based on how it was marketed "as a seamless front desk and mobile checkout solution designed to scale with and support growing businesses." Unfortunately, our experience has been very different. After purchasing the hardware, we quickly discovered that the system is highly restrictive and essentially locked down, limiting our ability to integrate additional front desk accessories and hardware. This was not clearly communicated during the sales process and did not align with the flexibility and scalability that were presented to us. What made the situation even more frustrating was learning about the strict no-return policy only after realizing the hardware would not meet our operational needs. We were left with a costly setup that does not function the way we were led to expect. The reliability issues have been even more concerning. System status updates frequently indicate that services are operational when, in reality, there are significant disruptions. When the platform experiences outages, there is virtually no offline functionality available. Staff lose reliable access to calendars, appointment details, client notes, and payment processing. For businesses that rely heavily on scheduling software to operate efficiently throughout the day, this creates major operational challenges. As a multi-location salon business, outages like these are far more than a minor inconvenience. They can disrupt operations across multiple teams and locations for an entire day. When your business depends on software for scheduling, client management, and payments, there should be a dependable backup or offline mode available. From a true multi-location business operations standpoint, our experience has been very different. When managing multiple teams, front desk staff, schedules, client communication, and payment processing across locations, reliability, flexibility, and offline accessibility become critical. Unfortunately, we do not feel Vagaro is currently built to support those operational demands at the level their marketing suggests. Support has also been disappointing. Responses are often vague, information is inconsistent, and there seems to be very little accountability when trying to resolve ongoing issues. We expected transparency, flexibility, and dependable support from a company positioning itself as an all-in-one business solution. Instead, our experience has felt restrictive, misleading, and deeply frustrating. > > Vagaro may work well for independent suite renters, solo stylists, or smaller studio environments where operational demands are simpler and downtime impacts fewer people. The platform has features that can be useful in those settings. However, from a true multi-location business operations standpoint, our experience has been very different. When managing multiple teams, front desk staff, schedules, client communication, and payment processing across locations, reliability, flexibility, and offline accessibility become critical. Unfortunately, we do not feel Vagaro is currently built to support those operational demands at the level their marketing suggests. ----- Page: 1 / 147\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/88220/vagaro?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/88220/vagaro) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
