Vagaro system allowed my hair studio to cancel me the day of my appointment, then they immediately marked me as a no show, then when I tried to write a review it on Vagaro it said I couldn't because I was never their customer because they marked me as a NO SHOW knowing I was going to put my bad review! No wonder they have 5 stars on stupid Vagaro and don't list themselves on google. Vagaro lets them get away with this!!!

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We understand how frustrating a situation like this can be, and we appreciate you bringing your concerns to our attention.
Vagaro provides businesses with tools to manage appointments, including the ability to update appointment statuses such as canceled, completed, or no-show. However, decisions regarding fees, cancellation policies, appointment management practices, and service pricing are made solely by the business owner. Vagaro does not have the authority to dictate how a business chooses to operate or enforce its policies.
Reviews on Vagaro are tied to appointment history and eligibility requirements within the platform. If you believe your appointment was incorrectly marked or that your review should have been eligible for submission, we'd welcome the opportunity to investigate further.
Please contact our team at [email protected] or 925-464-1932 so we can review the account activity and better understand what occurred. We value transparent feedback from both customers and businesses and are committed to ensuring concerns like yours are properly reviewed.

loving Vagaro !
As a business owner perspective, there is so much support for the business side! just to mention a few, how to set up or any issues- it's a fast response and finding solutions. I love all the features it really helps customers find your business and how customized you can really make it when it comes to your booking menu and love the daily deals they give you so many options. Customers love it too! I get feedback, they always say how easy it is to book. It's been a great experience so far!

I was scammed by vagaro
I was told that my first trial month will be free. There was no one to assist me how to start the process. I was just checking and entered my credit card details and clicked on free where it was mentioned. I never received any email regarding my boarding. I checked my credit card details then I came to know that I was charged unnecessarily. I raised a question and I was given assurance that there was a glitch from vagaro's end and money will be refunded. I didn't receive the accessory also. I was not getting any replies from vagaro regarding my refund. I then uninstalled the app and exit from account then again $140 was deducted. It seems that I have been scammed. I never used the app and I was scammed for $210. This is ridiculous. I have been scammed by vagaro.

Hi Hema, thank you so much for sharing your experience. We understand how these charges and uncertainty around your account status can seem concerning, and we would be more than happy to provide clarification around this.
Our team has been reviewing your case since it was first reported, and a refund request was submitted for management review shortly after your initial contact. Updates and expected timelines have been provided through your open support ticket, and the review is still in progress.
Regarding the trial, our records show that the card reader offer was accepted during signup. As outlined in the enrollment terms, redeeming the card reader activates the account and ends the trial period. The promotional monthly rate referenced is a base subscription price and may vary depending on the number of calendars or services selected on the account.
We recognize that this has not been the experience you expected when getting started, and we appreciate your patience while the review is completed. Our team will continue to provide updates directly through your existing support case as soon as additional information becomes available.
Thank you again for sharing your review with us.

Owen has been incredibly helpful…
Owen has been incredibly helpful throughout the whole setup process. He was always patient, professional, and very quick to respond whenever I had questions — even through WhatsApp. Communication was always easy and friendly, and he made the entire experience much less stressful. I truly appreciate all his help and support and would highly recommend Owen and the Vagaro UK team! 😊

I had previously been very happy with…
I had previously been very happy with Vagaro, but since the recent system updates around April 2026, we have experienced continuous issues that are seriously affecting our business operations.
Problems include missing or incorrect paid amounts, paid packages not showing properly, IOUs/payment records failing to generate, reports not matching actual payments, and frequent system glitches.
I have spent hours with customer support every few days over the last two months, yet the issues continue without a permanent resolution. Very disappointing for a business platform that we rely on daily.

Horrid system and horrid customer…
Horrid system and horrid customer service. Our vagaro has begun changing our clients appointment times and dates on its own, yet technical team says they can’t figure out why or know what’s happening. The system doesn’t follow our reminder rules and sends the out 20 minutes prior to the visit rather than two weeks and 48 hours. The tablet they created glitches non stop and the reports and inventory never match the app on any other device. Our password to get into our system changes on its own and they can’t seem to make it stop. The system literally sucks so bad and they keep coming out with new features instead of fixing these problems that legit make it impossible to use. We have had whole days of clients recently where none of there times were accurate because vagaro moved them by 45Min to over an hour. So our entire staff was screwed all day.

Extremely disappointed with Vagaro and…
Extremely disappointed with Vagaro and the lack of transparency when it comes to support, hardware compatibility, and system reliability.
We invested in the PayPro & Go system based on the way it was marketed "a seamless front desk and mobile checkout solution designed to support and grow with our business." Unfortunately, that has not been our experience.
After purchasing the hardware, we discovered the system is extremely limited and essentially locked down, preventing us from adding or integrating other front desk accessories and hardware the way their marketing and sales conversations suggested. What was presented as a flexible and scalable solution turned out to be far more restrictive in real-world use.
To make matters worse, once the limitations became clear, we learned about the strict no-return policy, leaving us stuck with expensive hardware that does not meet the operational needs we were led to believe it would support.
The reliability issues have been even more concerning. The system status logs often show the platform as “up” far more than it actually is in practice. When the system goes down, there is essentially zero offline functionality. Staff cannot reliably access calendars, view client notes, confirm appointments, or process payments. For businesses that depend on scheduling software to operate throughout the day, being completely locked out puts your front desk and client experience in the dark.
As a multi-location salon business, outages like this don’t just create a minor inconvenience, it can completely derail operations across multiple teams and locations for an entire day. When your business relies on your software to access schedules, client information, and payments, there needs to be a dependable backup or offline mode in place.
Support has also been frustrating vague responses, inconsistent information, and very little accountability when trying to resolve issues.
We expected transparency, flexibility, and dependable support from a company positioning itself as an all-in-one business solution. Instead, this experience has felt misleading, restrictive, and incredibly disappointing.
Response from VagaroMay 21, 2026
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We understand how important reliability, flexibility, and clarity are when managing a multi-location business, and we appreciate you sharing your concerns.
Our team reviewed your feedback regarding PayPro functionality and third-party app support. While the device is designed to support core Vagaro operations such as calendars, booking management, checkout, and client workflows, third-party applications are not currently supported on the hardware. We appreciate the opportunity to clarify the intended functionality of the device and related hardware policies, including the refund policy acknowledged at the time of purchase.
We also understand how impactful service interruptions can be for businesses. Your feedback regarding reliability, offline accessibility, hardware flexibility, and support experience has been shared internally for continued review and improvement.
If you have any additional questions or concerns, you can reach out to [email protected] with the subject line ATTN CX, and our team will be happy to assist further. Thank you again for sharing this.
