Vagaro Review
Booking, payments and marketing built for salons, spas and fitness.
Our verdict
Vagaro bundles booking, point-of-sale, and a consumer marketplace that can actually send new clients your way — a real differentiator for salons and gyms. At $30/mo per bookable calendar, costs scale with staff size, so price it out for your whole team. The interface looks dated compared to newer rivals, but the feature set is hard to beat at this price.
Best for Salons, spas, and fitness studios that want booking, POS, and client discovery in one system

Frequently asked questions
How much does Vagaro cost?
Vagaro costs $30/mo per bookable calendar, so a solo stylist pays $30 while a five-chair salon pays more as calendars are added. Booking, POS, and marketplace listing are included.
Vagaro vs Mindbody: which is better for a gym or salon?
Vagaro is significantly cheaper ($30/mo per calendar vs Mindbody's $99/mo+ per location) and covers booking, POS, and a client marketplace. Mindbody has a bigger consumer app and deeper membership features, but its price and support complaints push many smaller businesses toward Vagaro.
What is the Vagaro marketplace?
Vagaro runs a consumer-facing marketplace where local clients can discover and book your salon, spa, or gym directly. It's included in the subscription and can be a genuine source of new bookings, not just a directory listing.
