What do you like best about Vagaro?

I like how user friendly it is. The drag and drop feature of designing is nice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Vagaro?

I bought the hardware and spent weeks setting it up and filling it with inventory. Come to find that I can't charge customers tips based on total sale, only on services rendered. This makes the program unusable as a point of sale feature. My employees are used to making tips based off of total sale including services rendered AND inventory sold. This takes all motivation to upsell away from the employees. I had to go back to using SQUARE as point of sale becuase my staff threatened to quit over the issue. Please fix this, so that I can use Vagaro to its fullest extent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Vagaro solving and how is that benefiting you?

The goal was to have Vagaro solve the issue of integrating all aspects of Studio managment into one program. Unfortunately, that didn't turn out to be the case. Vagaro just has to fix the issue of being able to charge tips off the total sale, not just the service rendered. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Vagaro?

I like the support system. The ability to customize which reminders are sent to clients, create a website, and have everything in one place—design, training platform, payment processing, calendar, and the option to add your own employees—makes it very convenient. Having employees within your dashboard allows you to see their workload and automatically generate payroll. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Vagaro?

What I would recommend improving:

Definitely, the website builder system, which every business customizes for itself. It’s very difficult to figure out. There are no examples, only basic templates that feel quite rigid. I’ve been trying to set a video as a background for two months and still can’t do it.

The interface is quite confusing for beginners—it took me three weeks to get used to it, and at times, I even cried out of frustration because I didn’t understand how things worked.

There is no option for multilingual support, which would be helpful.

If a client was already in the system under another business, I can’t edit their profile the way I need to—it always causes errors.

Right now, the mobile app won’t open on my phone, so I have to log in from my computer, which is inconvenient since I run a mobile business.

I would love to see more real-life examples, like a guided tour showing how businesses use the platform:

How they set up their website

How they organize clients within their business

How they send campaigns that attract additional customers

There’s a lack of a warm, community-like atmosphere within the platform.

But despite these drawbacks, I truly love Vagaro and want to see it improve, which is why I’m sharing this feedback.

Love you guys! And I wouldn’t say no to a little gift—maybe that’s what gave me the push to write such a detailed review. 😉 Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Vagaro solving and how is that benefiting you?

I described this in detail in the previous message, but for me, the most convenient feature is that clients receive reminders 24 hours and 1 hour before the lesson. This saves me an hour of time every day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Vagaro?

I don't have any gripes or dislikes honestly. When I think of how something should be changed, either I misunderstood it's purpose and how to use the feature or it's in the next updates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Vagaro?

I like that my clients can schedule themselves! Autopay is really great too. I don't use memberships, but packages on autopay has really streamlined to personal training part of my business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Vagaro?

Reporting is hard to understand. I would love a simple "this is how much actual money (cash, credit) you have brought in during this time". All the other granular stuff is great for planning / marketing / improving packages...

I would love to assign colors to TYPES of appointments so I can see at a glance massages vs PT appointments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Vagaro solving and how is that benefiting you?

Scheduling / autopay. This streamlines my admin time so I can hold more appointments with less mental switching Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Vagaro?

I would like to have the option to send customized email messages and text messages at the time they book the service on the software. For example, certain services have ways to prepare for the appointment. Other services we meet at other locations ... these are workshops/classes outdoors for example. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Vagaro?

I absolutely LOVE Vagraro for my Personal Training business. Has made it easy to take payments and scheduling for my clients, even brand new clients. Has taken all of that out of my hands! Thank you Vagaro! Looking at expanding and begin using their forms and possibly even making a website! I have to say Customer Support has been used a few times, especiallly in the beginning and they were nothing but top notch and patient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Vagaro?

The only thing I have to say is I wish I could see some of the forms that were available for personal trainers before signing up. Which isn't a huge deal, if it doesn't work for my business, I can always cancel. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Vagaro solving and how is that benefiting you?

Time of me having to check and take payments. Scheduling is just the fact that they have made it simple to use for clients Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love how self explaning the app is. At first I was skeptical, but once I got the hang of it and a better understanding I would not chose another app to help me with the website and booking appointments.
