Pros

“It helped me with managing my business and scheduling my calendar for myself and my clients.”

Angel P.

Barber

“The overall experience was pretty good because I was able to keep track of my books easier and customers were able to book, but it would be that way with any booking app.”

Sandra G.

Cosmetologist

“I did recommend it to a colleague of mine who was a new stylist and she has had a good experience on it because she will gain new Client from it and she doesn’t have to fight them because she wasn’t in my situation where she had been doing her for a very long time getting referrals from clients. ”

Sandra G.

Cosmetologist

Pros

“Appointment Management, Payment Processing, Security, Appointment Sccheduling, Client Mnagement, Value for Money, and Learning Curve,”

Daisy P.

Hair Stylist

“For example, if I have 5 minutes after each service, and a client books 3 services, it adds 15 minutes after their appointment when I only need the 5!”

Marcella E.

Esthetician

“I love all of the extra features like online booking but having the ability to approve them first, email marketing, automatic reminders, reminding me to write down formulas in my notes and most of all how easy it was to switch over.”

Amber K.

Salon Owner Cosmetologist

Cons

Honestly the app is pretty decent but the one thing i dont like is all the “marketing” and “boost” ads, because when you take the time to try to use them and give them a chance they provide no results in getting you new clients, for example ive had my account boosted for 2 weeks and did everything booksy asked, as a result i havent booked any new clients, not one.

Darius h.

Barber

“Limited features such as memberships offered to clients don’t have the capability of reoccurring charges for memberships it has to be manually generated.”

Kaye A.

Owner

“The boost fee gets charged even when you do not check a client out meaning most likely that client did not show”

Alexia R.

Owner, loctician

Cons

“The huge difference between the prices gold level How to input the forms for pt to sign and acknowledge meaning I don’t want to add another program to connect the one that I’m currently using.”

Monique N.

Owner

“Not enough options for website layouts, no options to customize widgets on website in a different way, can’t leave a review on website, hard to sell bundles via website for clients to buy in their own”

Monica C.

Sugarist

“I don’t like that I can post the gift cards, that I can only load one pic at a time and that I can’t upload videos.”

Antonia S.

President CEO
