Pros

“I will be cancelling my whole debit system and booking system with my salon with this company they like to charge everything that they absolutely can and there’s definitely just as good other companies out there for booking systems besides Fresha that does just the same.”
CB

Catherine B.

Business owner an aesthetician.

“It’s not a complex system which is appealing to a small business along with the cost, however there are some usability issues that could be easily be fixed if they had good product [sensitive content hidden] and tech support.”
PT

Pamela T.

President

“I have inquried about this to Fresha several times, as I use their QR code at my store to allow my clients to book an appointment, however, I still get charged for those customers, as if they intially found my services through Fresha, though this is not the case.”
EK

Erik K.

Massage Therapist

Pros

“It makes scheduling so easy by automatically selecting the service my clients always have when rebooking, the schedule itself has so many different ways to read it and so that always looks nice and with all the different colours too it’s so easy!”
AH

Alex H.

Beautician

“Customer support responses can take a little while at times, and there could be more customization options for booking policies and client communication.”
AR

Aaliyah R.

Hair Braider

“I love Goldie, it has a lot of features that help you with having a great booking system, it has the option to have online booking, messages your clients to remind them of their appointments”
LB

Louise B.

Beautician

Cons

“Fresha can have some bugs or issues in its booking system at times, including error messages or blank screens.”
AT

Andie T.

Student

“I follow Fresha’s own advice by sending my direct booking link, yet the system still flags client as new marketplace clients. Despite clear evidence, support refuses to refund the fees, citing rigid policy and technicalities.”
CN

Catherine N.

Holistic Therapist

“Unable to add two therapists to one appointment, latest pricing structure is far to expensive and unfair on very small businesses.”
SP

Suphotjana P.

Operations Manager

Cons

“Sometimes the app can feel a little slow or glitchy when updating appointments, and I wish there were more customization options for booking and client management.”
TS

Trenese S.

Hair Dresser

“We can't add our own gift card visual and we can't take 2 payment methods.”
MJ

Marie-Julie B.

Beautician

“The forms feature is only available in pro Plus and that is very expensive and has a lot of bells and whistles that I just don't need”
