Meet Vagaro
Outside Investors
Beholden to major investor, FTV Capital. Yet despite all of this outside money, still charges extra for almost every feature will need to run a successful salon or spa. Don’t be fooled by the cheap base subscription. When you add up all of the premiums, you could be paying literally thousands of dollars a month! Who can afford that? Paired Plus offers every feature, included at no extra charge!
-
Monthly Subscription
While Vagaro's monthly subscription fee is only $10.00 less, their charges add up quick! Paired Plus offers EVERY feature included at no extra cost to you!
-
A.I. Integration
Paired Plus is the ONLY salon and spa management software that offers DARCI AI. I fully integrated A.I. chatbot that allows you to dive deep and analyze your data in ways you only dreamed of. Vagaro doesn't offer this at any price range!
-
Branded App
Included at no extra cost for Paired Plus users. Vagaro charges a whopping up front and another $100.00 per month! Outrageous!
-
Unlimited Email Marketing
Vagaro only allows for 1000 monthly emails with their 7 provider subscription. With Paired Plus you get unlimited marketing emails, regardless of your tier!
-
Online Shopping Cart
An online shopping cart for gift certificates is a powerful revenue driver for salons and spas.
Clients can conveniently purchase and send digital or printable gift cards 24/7 — perfect for last-minute gifts, holidays, or special occasions.
This feature increases sales, attracts new customers, generates immediate revenue, and encourages future bookings while reducing staff workload on manual gift card processing. Once again Vagaro charges extra for this!
-
Electronic Forms
Signature capture e-forms are crucial for salons and spas. They securely record client consents, medical histories, allergies, and service-specific details with digital signatures.
This ensures legal protection, regulatory compliance, and personalized service delivery while eliminating paper clutter. Fast, accurate tracking reduces risks, streamlines operations, and builds client trust for treatments like chemical peels, lashes, or massages.
Vagaro charges an additional 10 dollars a month for this feature while Paired Plus includes it at no extra cost!
More Than Just Features
Choose Your Partner Wisely
While features are essential, a successful salon or spa requires more than just functional software—it requires a dedicated partnership.
When challenges arise, you shouldn’t have to settle for inexperienced support or high-turnover service departments. You deserve direct access to industry experts who possess a deep understanding of the software and the unique nuances of your business.
Furthermore, your feedback should drive innovation. Instead of waiting on approvals from profit-driven parent companies or investors, choose a partner with the agility to implement your suggestions immediately. As you navigate the complexities of small business ownership, ensure you select a provider committed to your long-term success.
