Ratings and reviews

I liked this & would've continued to use it if not for its very misleading plan activation situation. It made it seem like after my initial free trial ended I'd be able to continue using it, just without premium features, which I was fine with. However, that is not the case. Once your trial ends, you lose access to everything & if you want to continue using it or just want to be able to see what you spent a lot of time setting up, you have to pay. Had I known that, I never would've used it.

The app is nice and easy to navigate for both clients and businesses. but recently they went from being free to have a subscription fee. okay that'd fine... but there are now so many hidden fees. like a "new client" or even just a new card I got charged anywhere from $8 to $20+ for a "new client fee." Also if you want extra time on your services itthen effects everyone's services and schedule. It's hard to constantly keep up with your services just so you can have time after a client.

It started out free, but was bought out and turned into a pay service. They want to be your salon one stop shop, but with the subscription fee they still nickel and dime you for everything and push you to use their credit card processing that has a flat fee per/transaction plus a percentage. They only provide support if you are a premium member and are slow to respond by email. They charge you if a new customer books through them, even if they are your client already. Not easy to cancel.
