Beware of booking with Soothe
Beware of booking with Soothe . We had a terrible experience with them last week and the customer service to try to get resolution has been equally horrendous. BLUF: We booked six services with three different providers via the Soothe app and also through the "event team" - all confirmed via text and email and pre-paid. Two of the three providers were no shows and our event was ruined. It was very important to have all the services be completed as we were hosting an event with six people at my house for a very special occasion. Two of the providers never showed up, even after I received text confirmation that they would be here. Diane, the massage therapist, did not show up for the massages at all. When I reached out to her via the inbox, she said she did not have any appointments booked through Soothe. Furthermore, the site showed she completed service and my card was charged with a tip! Conchita, the facialist, cancelled the facial an hour prior through the Soothe proprietary inbox that does not forward to the email you provide, and therefore, I did not receive any notification. They only notify through their propriertary app. Nowhere in their contract or booking does it tell you that you need to check the app prior to your appointment, even though all other correspondence via payment and confirmation occur via email. When I tried to find the providers, Soothe did not have anyone answering the phone, or chat feature on the app. I spent 30 minute out of my event trying to find the providers to no avail. We did not want to use the one provider who did show up because our event was supposed to be for everyone to participate, but we were unable to cancel. I tried to email the Events group, the regular support email and the chat function to get refunds. After several attempts, they said they would not refund the one provider who did show up, even though I made it clear and had agreement verbally when I booked through the Events group that I did not want any services if I couldn't get all at the times we specified. It took several emails to even get refunds for the no-shows, which they refunded as if a favor. This is the most unprofessional, unreliable and dishonest service provider I have dealt with in any industry. They demonstrated no accountability for ruining our event and did not honor our verbal agreement of what we expected for our event. I should have paid attention to all of the other negative reviews, many of which describe similar experiences.
