Fresha is so easy to manage my team

I work with booth renters at my top-rated salon in Manhattan, New York City. I love Fresha because it offers my clients a professional appointment booking experience with seamless online booking features, automated reminder emails and texts, advanced pos capabilities and the best payment processing rates I could get for my salon business. Before I was using MindBody but Fresha offers by far the best salon app experience and it's free. I'm thrilled that they are continually adding new features which only makes the program better and better! Fresha is the top salon software!

My client love it

Fresha is the top-rated salon software with all the advanced features you need to operate as a salon business. I use this booking software for salons from my iPad and iPhone. It is very easy to use and my staff and my clients love the online booking, appointment scheduling on the go. The Fresha marketplace has been incredible for our salon business too, we have hundreds of client reviews and we've increased sales by 31%. Fresha is the best beauty salon scheduling app available. This salon program is brilliant and It is much better than Booksy.

Powerful Scheduling

This appointment scheduling software is very user friendly and it's free! I accidentally stumbled onto Fresha and was skeptical at first as it was free. I decided to give it a go and was utterly surprised as it had more functionality than previous software I was using called Timely. I have 3 business locations and Fresha meets all my business needs and more. It's a truly fantastic product, and hands down the best salon scheduling system I've seen.

Booking Made Easy

I am a freelance makeup artist who has been searching tirelessly for a salon scheduling app that can make appointment bookings easy, track my clients who visit the salon and their appointments bookings, manage discounts, gift certificates and group appointment bookings. My experience with Fresha has been great thus far, and I don't see myself moving away from it anytime soon. Fresha is the best salon booking app!

Simplify Salon Scheduling

I love that Fresha is simple and easy to use salon software. Coming from a much more complicated system like MINDBODY or Booksy, Fresha was so wonderfully easy to figure out and implement. Customer service has always been so kind and responsive and happy to help. Fresha is the top booking app for salons in the world.

Easy Payments, Bookings

Client payments and booking appointments is now a breeze, Their support/on-boarding has been very engaging and helpful for our business. The 'pay as you go' model is ideal for small companies starting out, but powerful for those already going full steam. It's the software for therapists.

Effortless Salon Management

Fresha makes running my salon business so much easier. All the features I use to run my business are just so easy and sleek. The booking calendar is the best, it comes with appointment reminders, advanced pos features and leading payment rates and stock taking capabilities. The customer service is second to none.. any issue or query is answered so quickly and always resolved. Fresha is the best salon software in the UK and moving from Treatwell was a great decision.

Amazing software

Fresha has literally changed my life! I have so much more time to myself and have stopped paying hefty monthly fees when the salon is closed. I can even list my aesthetics services on the Fresha online marketplace and use their new consultation forms which are game-changing. I would never be without it now! It's one of the best platforms out there.

Recommend to all

Amazing scheduling system for salons and spas. One of the most efficient booking systems I have ever used! I definitely recommend this to any business owner who needs to schedule in clients online! Best of all, Fresha is free. I wished I had switched to Fresha from Timely earlier.

Online Salon Software

I'm able to check my salon's appointment schedule anywhere because it's all online! I've used salon iris, phorest and other paid salon software and they are nowhere near as good as Fresha. Best of all, Fresha is actually FREE. I love their customer service and support. They've made so many changes to accommodate us. Thank you so very much for working so hard.

Simplify Salon Management

The easiest salon software I have ever used! My business runs so smoothly now and I can manage everything on the go. It has all the features a salon needs to run their operations. The support team is AMAZING, very prompt on returning messages. I feel very confident using Fresha, it's the salon software and I recommend it to everyone!

Beauty Industry’s Best

Fresha is the best software for salons, spas and massage therapists! Easiest system to start up and I'm technologically challenged. Someone recommended Fresha to me and I thought it was too good to be true, but it's all true. Having the POS system already integrated to the salon software makes payment easy and as someone who is horrible with technology it was so easy to set up as well. Use Fresha, you won't be disappointed.
