I spoke with Idea at Fresha support today and she was brilliant. Her replies were prompt, professional and easy to understand. I’m new to Fresha and had quite a few questions, but she was patient throughout and helped me feel much more confident using the system. Thank you, Idea!

**Patient

**Patient, clear and courteous support**

Atdhe helped me with many questions while I was setting up Fresha for my new nail salon. She was patient, explained the booking and website options clearly, and remained courteous throughout our conversation. When she needed to check a feature, she took the time to do so before answering. I appreciate her help.

Positive experience with Fresha and its support

Been using Fresha for years (can't remember how many), and it has been a great experience. I have not had to contact support since everything been working fine, but this week I had a problem with a new feature that I had not used before, so I contacted support via the chat. The useless AI was... useless, but after I was connected to a real person, Ardi, he was able to solve my problem in under 5 minutes. Great app, and great support!

The application settings are not…

The application settings are not working correctly. After multiple attempts to change my work days and hours in the calendar, the system does not reflect correctly. Also, the likelihood of someone booking an appointment through this app is very low.
If you are expecting new clients and reservations through this app, I do not recommend it at all because it is almost impossible for anyone to book an appointment thanks to this platform.

Hi Tony,

Thank you for sharing your feedback.

We understand how challenging this can be, especially when accurate availability is essential for managing appointments and making sure clients can book the times you offer.

We’re also sorry to hear that you haven’t seen the level of new bookings you expected through Fresha. The number of bookings a business receives can vary depending on factors such as location, services, availability, and how clients find the business.

If you can respond to our request with details of the calendar issue you’re experiencing, our team can take a closer look and investigate why your working hours are not updating correctly.

Thank you again for taking the time to share your experience.

Kind Regards,
Fresha

Was a fresha client for 7 years what started off great turned into overpriced and underhanded tactics to keep you using their services. My account managers were changing like the weather ( I had 3 in 6 months , from what I heard it’s not a great place to work and they are pushed to upsell to the partners) !
Each new manager had access to my personal business information yet they were no help at all ! They have seriously lost their was and seen themselves as an important part of your company when in reality they are a booking app ! I would strongly recommend shopping around before singing anything with Fresha !
Never again, and thankfully more and more people are waking up to this !

Hi Samuel,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, especially after using Fresha for seven years.

We take your concerns about access to your business information seriously. Our account managers may need access to relevant business information to provide support, but we understand why changes in account ownership and repeated handovers could have left you uncomfortable.

We’re sad to hear that your overall experience led you to feel this way about Fresha after so many years with us. Your feedback is valuable, and we’ll make sure it’s shared with the relevant teams, particularly around account management and the partner experience.

Thank you again for sharing your experience and for being a Fresha partner for so many years.

Kind Regards,
Fresha

100 out of 100, extraordinary platform. They may take long to introduce requested/new features but when they do it they do it right. Support is awesome. Berlinda was the star of the show today. Thanks to her I was able to solve my inquiry today.

Excellent support from Eva
Eva was incredibly helpful in answering my questions about Fresha consultation forms and the storage of client health and medical information. I needed some clarification to make sure I was handling my clients' information correctly, and Eva took the time to give me a clear and reassuring answer to my specific question.
She was friendly, professional and really helpful throughout. I now feel much more confident that I'm using Fresha correctly within my beauty business.
Thank you so much, Eva! 😊🌸

Predatory fees & useless support

Extreme cash grab! If a new client accidentally double books, Fresha charges a 20% fee on the initial total, not the actual service provided. When you contact support to correct the client's mistake, they refuse to refund the difference. Pure extortion from small businesses, switching to another platform!

Hi Anastasiia,

Thank you for sharing your feedback.

The New Client Fee is calculated from the value of the services in the original booking when the client is acquired through Fresha Marketplace. This means that if a booking is later amended because a client accidentally selected additional services, the fee may still be based on the original booking value.

We appreciate that this can feel unfair when the client ultimately receives fewer services and the additional amount is refunded. We’re sorry that our support team wasn’t able to provide the resolution you were hoping for in this situation.

Your feedback is valuable, particularly around how the fee applies when bookings are amended or partially refunded. We’ll share your concerns with the relevant team for consideration.

We’re sorry to hear this experience has led you to consider leaving Fresha, and we appreciate you taking the time to explain what happened.

Kind Regards,
Fresha

I recently moved back to Fresha

I recently moved back to Fresha because my clients favoured it over the booking system I’d moved too. I have to say I do thing the client app in particular is the best out there. I deleted a client today by mistake and within 5 minutes of online chat help Rinor had restored the profile and had me back up and running. She was friendly and super efficient. Amazing support and on a bank holiday, I didn’t think I’d hear back till tomorrow, thank you!

0/5 — Extremely Disappointed With Fresha’s Marketplace Fees

As a business owner, I am becoming increasingly frustrated with Fresha and what I consider to be completely unreasonable Marketplace charges.

Today we had a client who needed to cancel their appointment because of a family situation. Unfortunately, while one of our therapists was trying to cancel the appointment, she accidentally clicked “complete.” The mistake was immediately identified and the client was refunded.

The system therefore clearly shows that although the appointment was accidentally marked as completed, the payment was REFUNDED and the treatment NEVER TOOK PLACE.

Despite this, Fresha is still charging us the Marketplace new-client fee because the appointment was marked as completed. We contacted Fresha and explained exactly what happened, but were told there is nothing they can do.

How is that reasonable? No treatment was provided and the client was refunded. Fresha can see this on their own system, yet we are still expected to pay the fee.

This is not the first situation that has made us seriously question these charges.

On another occasion, a client physically came into OUR premises and purchased a gift voucher for a family member. The family member later used Fresha Marketplace to book their appointment with us using that gift voucher. Fresha then treated that person as a “new client” they had acquired for our business and charged us a Marketplace fee.

How exactly did Fresha acquire that client for us when the treatment had already been purchased directly from our business through a gift voucher?

This is exactly why businesses are becoming frustrated with these Marketplace fees. It feels as though almost any interaction through the Marketplace can become an opportunity to charge the business, regardless of whether Fresha genuinely acquired that client.

We are a small business. These charges add up and directly affect our income. Businesses should not have to constantly fight to keep money they have genuinely earned.

After these experiences, I have completely lost confidence in Fresha’s Marketplace fee structure. In my experience, it feels unfair, inflexible and heavily weighted against the businesses that actually provide the treatments.

Fresha seriously needs to review these policies.

Hi Kudzanai,

Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback. We understand why these situations would be challenging.

Regarding the first situation, we appreciate that the appointment was marked as completed accidentally and that the error was corrected immediately, with the client receiving a full refund. We understand why you would question the Marketplace fee when no treatment ultimately took place. Marketplace fees are calculated based on the booking activity and the status of the appointment, which means that changing or refunding a booking does not necessarily remove the fee.

We also understand your concerns about the gift voucher booking. However, it is important that partners take the necessary steps to prevent situations such as this. If a client purchases a voucher directly from you, you should always share your direct booking links.

We’re sorry that our team was unable to provide a resolution that you felt was fair. Your feedback highlights the importance of making Marketplace fees and their application as clear as possible, particularly in situations involving refunds, cancellations, accidental appointment changes and gift vouchers.

We appreciate you sharing your concerns and will make sure this feedback is passed on to the relevant team for consideration.

Kind Regards,
Fresha

Lack of accountability and support

I've been using Fresha as my booking and payment system, and while the day to day functionality is generally fine, my experience with their support has been genuinely disappointing.

I ran into a technical fault that Fresha themselves confirmed was on their end, not mine. A client left without paying, and because of this error I was unable to finalize the payment. That fault is still unresolved two weeks later. Throughout that time, the updates I received amounted to little more than "it's been escalated to our development team and they're working on it." At one point I was sent an explanation of the problem that simply restated what I had already identified and reported myself, with no fix, no timeline, and no real outcome attached.

The frustrating part isn't that a bug occurred, these things happen with any software. It's that when something goes wrong and it's genuinely costing you money, the support is slow, vague, and offers no accountability or clear resolution. As a small business owner, I need to be able to rely on the system I'm paying for, and to know that if something breaks, I'll actually get timely help to sort it out.

I'm still deciding whether Fresha is the right fit for my business going forward, and honestly the standard of support has been the deciding factor, not the product itself.
