Quick question for anyone using Setmore — does the Instagram integration actually work properly? I see a lot of salons with a 'Book Now' button on their profile and I've been told Setmore can set this up. I tried following the instructions but it's still showing an error. Is it a known bug or am I doing something wrong? Running a spa in Newcastle if that makes any difference.

For multi-staff Setmore is excellent. Each person has their own colour-coded calendar, you can set individual hours and services, and clients book with a specific person or with 'any available' if you prefer. I've got three staff on it and it's really simple to manage from the dashboard.

I tested Treatwell and Fresha side by side for a month. Treatwell won on price, Fresha won on features. For a solo holistic therapy practice just starting out, Treatwell's free plan is hard to argue with. You can always switch later once you know exactly what you need.

I switched from BookPin to SimplyBook.me about two years ago and the main thing I noticed was the client-facing booking page. SimplyBook.me's is just cleaner and clients seem to complete the booking without getting confused halfway through. If you're worried about looking professional, that matters more than you'd think.

My clients were pretty resistant at first — a few of them are older and not very tech-savvy. What helped was walking them through the booking link in person the first time. Once they'd done it once they were completely fine. Now I get booking confirmations at 11pm from people I would have thought would never manage it.

For a mobile mobile therapist I'd go with Timely every time. You can set a service area rather than a fixed address, clients can see your availability, and the automated confirmations include all the details they need. Works perfectly without needing a physical premises.

The waiting list feature on Fresha is genuinely good — better than any other system I've tried. When a cancellation comes in it automatically notifies the next person on the waiting list. Has filled two last-minute slots for me this month alone.
