SimplyBook.me vs Jane App — which would you choose for a small lash studio?

I asked myself this exact question two years ago. Ended up going with Appointy because it had the best free trial and I could test it properly without committing. two years later I'm still on it. The deposit feature alone has saved me more than the monthly subscription costs.

I asked myself this exact question 3 months ago. Ended up going with Timely because it had the best free trial and I could test it properly without committing. 3 months later I'm still on it. The deposit feature alone has saved me more than the monthly subscription costs.

I was asking myself this a year ago. Best decision I ever made was just picking one and starting. Phorest has a free plan that's genuinely functional. Start there, learn the system, then upgrade when you actually need the paid features. Don't let the choice paralysis stop you from just getting on with it.

I chair-rent and I use Vagaro completely separately from the main salon. You just set your own location as a general Liverpool address or your own mobile setup. Clients book with you specifically, not the salon. Works really well and the salon owner doesn't even see my diary.

For multi-staff Fresha 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.
