Good job 👍 nice

Last year, Vagaro acquired Schedulicity, a platform I'd reliably used for 9 years without issue. During the migration, my account was incorrectly merged with my work roommate's separate business (due to prior calendar sharing on Schedulicity). This left me unable to access or use my own account properly. I spent hours with multiple customer service representatives trying to resolve this. Despite explaining the problem repeatedly and the reps even acknowledging the merge error, no one could fix it effectively. Roadblocks piled up, and solutions fell through time and again. In one attempt to "help," a rep set up a second calendar—which added a $10/month extra charge—even though I couldn't use the platform at all. Billing notifications for this overcharge went to the wrong (merged) email, so I didn't notice for three months. When I finally discovered the charges and requested a simple $30 refund—pointing out that Vagaro's own system showed zero usage—a rep denied it outright. I asked to talk to a manager, but was told none was available to speak with me. I never felt listened to; my explanations were brushed aside, and no one seemed to care about the real impact on my small business. Their suggested fix? Migrate my entire account to a new portal. After all the prior mistakes and fruitless hours invested, I no longer trusted them to handle it without creating more problems. Additional frustrations: I couldn't run basic reports without "checking out" each client individually, and even that feature blocked me. As a small business owner, if a client paid for a service they couldn't access—and I could see clear proof of non-use—I would refund them immediately, apologize sincerely, and work hard to make it right. I'd recognize their time and money are valuable. Vagaro did none of that. I felt invisible, unheard, and like my time and hard-earned money meant nothing to them. If you're considering Vagaro set very low expectations for customer support. They may have tools, but when things go wrong, you're on your own.

Ease of use. Helpful team who helped run through the features. Professional platform.

Jack has been great throughout our whole vagaro set up experience. Really helpful, catered to our needs and helped us get the system set up in 2 weeks! Always accessible to ask a question and takes no longer than 5 mins to reply. We’ve been let down by so many boring platforms previously but not Vagaro. Would definitely recommend!

Online program is very slow (line ups at front desk due to waiting on software pages to load. nothing to do with computer or internet speeds). Also crashed multiple times, especially when creating new appointments and changing pricing or service times. Beware... we had to get their free card reader for salon staff to clock in and out. We only subscribed to the program for 1 month. Upon cancelling our subscription we were charged and additional $140 (free card reader fee) I was told due to an early cancellation. Funny, I thought we could quit anytime. Apperantly we found out we had to be with them for 1 year before you keep the card reader. They would not accept the reader and refund the fee if we returned it. The card reader is only listed as $69 new on shopify. Also, You can't see a report with the receipt total from a clients service. It can only be viewed as individual transactions. There are so many other problems to list. We switched to Mangomint only after using Vagaro for 1 month. Previous to this we've used Daysmart for the past 13 years and would have stayed however we needed a better platform for online booking. I would advise staying away from Vagaro. Mangomint has been spectacular.

Jack has been amazing and has helped me throughout the entire set up and onboarding process. He is also there anytime i have an issue or any questions. Thanks Jack
