Great experience. It has dropped our NO SHOW to nil.

Pros

That it helps keep me organized. I love how easy it is to access.

Cons

That I can't access it on the computer. It would really help if this was available on computer as well.

Reason for choosing Goldie

I liked the pricing and the comments about it.

### "One stop shop for cosmetologist and barbers. "

April 20, 2026

4.0

I have had an excellent overall experience with Goldie. I have recommended it to a few other cosmetologist and barbers. One day a client wasn't able to book an appointment for some reason. The time slot was available but they weren't allowed to select it. The client reached out to me and I personally but it on my schedule.

Pros

I love how I can send out a link to clients so they can see when I'm available. No more back and forth. I really like the confirmation and reminders of appointments. It is nice that you can set it up to book appointments by other appointments. That way to don't have hours of down time when you first start out.

Cons

The only thing that I can say I dislike at this point is the price. Don't get me wrong it saves you time and everything is in one spot. Could there be an option like pro but for new business owners? For example, if you have under 50 clients pro is less expensive. I think I use most of the services available but I don't use it all that often since I don't have a huge clientele.

### "I love it but "

May 24, 2026

5.0

Pros

What I liked most about Goldie is how intuitive and user-friendly it is for managing appointments. It provides a smooth and organized way to keep track of all my bookings without any hassle. The interface is clean, and scheduling is quick and efficient, which saves me a lot of time. I also appreciate the reminders and notifications that help ensure I never miss an appointment. It’s reliable and offers a sense of control over my daily schedule. Overall, Goldie stands out for its simplicity, efficiency, and the way it makes organizing my appointments a stress-free experience every day.

Cons

The aspect I liked least about Goldie was the inconsistency in its performance. While the product generally delivered acceptable results, there were frequent glitches and occasional slow response times that disrupted the user experience. Additionally, the interface felt somewhat outdated and less intuitive than expected, making certain tasks more time-consuming than they should have been. Customer support, while responsive, sometimes offered generic solutions that didn’t fully address the underlying issues. Finally, despite its appealing features, the lack of seamless integration with other tools I regularly use made the overall experience less efficient and a bit frustrating over time.

### "Best Administrative Assistant Ever"

June 23, 2026

5.0

Goldie has definitely given me a sense of relief knowing I dont have to keep track of everyrhing. The reminders keep me aware of whats coming up and makes my clients feel like they are getting personal treatment when they receive reminders from me.

Pros

I love this software because it keeps me on track. I am a 1 oerson operation, so I have to do it all. Having Goldie is like having an administrative assistant who never has to take a break, has personal issues that keeps them from being able to perform, but can be completely relied upon to maintain my schedule, client communications and reminders, marketing and payments. I can even use it to keep track of my personal schedule and put reminders in to pay bills, remember birthdays, etc. I have stopped using every other calendar and reminder app I have on my phone.

Cons

I have not found anything that causes me to say, "I love Goldie, except..." The app is super easy to use on my desktop, iPad and phone.

### "Growing with Goldie!"

June 4, 2026

4.0

I joined Goldie from the recommendation of an esthetician friend. All other booking sites just didn't seem to offer me what I wanted or that the value for their systems didn't seem feasible. I love that this system is so user-friendly and all in one. The site is easy to navigate and no extra fluff. I love that I'm able to troubleshoot in real time with someone and the team is very responsive.

Pros

It's user friendly and grows with me as I grow my business. I love that it has everything I need and then some to show me in what direction to go in. I do thing the investment into the PRO system will pay off in the long run. Appointment management is great and whenever I reach out for an issue, someone is always there to connect.

Cons

Seems like a new program, but that doesn't bother me at all. It's like we're learning issues along the way together. It makes me feel like I'm growing with Goldie, instead of already buying into a big corporate business.

### "Great Scheduling App for Growing Beauty Businesses"

May 28, 2026

5.0

Overall, my experience with Goldie has been very positive. As someone running a busy hair business, the app helps me stay organized and manage appointments more efficiently. The scheduling system is simple to use, and my clients like how easy it is to book. It has helped me reduce stress, stay on top of reminders, and keep my business running smoothly. Even though there are occasional issues, I still think it’s a valuable app for beauty professionals and small business owners.

Pros

Goldie has made scheduling and managing my hair business so much easier. I love that clients can book appointments online without me having to constantly message back and forth. The reminder notifications help reduce no-shows, and the calendar is easy to organize. I also like being able to keep track of client information, services, and payments all in one app. It saves me time and makes my business look more professional.

Cons

Sometimes there are bugs or delays with notifications and syncing appointments. I also wish some of the premium features were more affordable for smaller businesses that are still growing. Customer support responses can take a little while at times, and there could be more customization options for booking policies and client communication.

### "Game changing "

July 14, 2026

5.0

Game changing! It’s completely changed the way I work. I was worried I was missing people off the calendar and a couple times I did. Knowing you can have everyone’s booking at a touch of a button. People can pay deposits, for the appointment and more. For £30, it’s changed the whole game for me

Pros

It’s completely changed the way I work. I was worried I was missing people off the calendar and a couple times I did. Knowing you can have everyone’s booking at a touch of a button. People can pay deposits, for the appointment and more. For £30, it’s changed the whole game for me

Cons

So far so good. I don’t have anything negative. As a dog groomer maybe an option for two names (dog and owner)?

### "it is great for individuals bookings"

August 27, 2024

3.0

I think it's okay for a personal trainer and Pilates instructor to use with clients.I wish they also had the other option I mentioned.

Pros

It is okay for a 1-on-1 booking system and I like the design.

Cons

I am looking for a system of a group class to book, and I want to promote my class. However, they do not have the option I am looking for."

### "Fantastic and highly recommended "

March 5, 2026

4.0

All in all I think they are great. My work life is easier now as it helps me loads in multiple different areas of the business. Showing me the statics of my salon too.

Pros

Goldie is the first ever system I have used to run my business and it’s made my life so much easier. Clients can now book there own appointments so no back and forth messages. It helps me with marketing and reminder messages to which is important for me. The interface for both me and the client is so easy. The fact it allows me to use klarna is a big thumbs up for my clients as it spends the costs for the client but I receive all the money. Now they have added the new schedule next appointment button at the checkout that’s so much easier to.

Cons

I don’t like the amount of time it takes for pay outs at the start. It is a long time to get a pay out especially when you need to order hair.

Reason for choosing Goldie

There was various reasons split over the lot of them. This one came highly recommended to me by someone I know who uses it was the most important because I couldn’t find you online. But also the klarna aspect, being able to link with social media, client information, fast payout payment, the charges for using your system to process payments.

### "Intuitive, User-Friendly, and Worth Coming Back To"

December 17, 2025

5.0

I originally used HeyGoldi for a year, then decided to move to another platform. However, I only lasted about eight months there before realizing how much I missed the simplicity and user-friendly design of HeyGoldi. In the end, I chose to return, mainly because of how effortless and intuitive the system is compared to others.

Pros

I’ve been using the HeyGoldi app and what I like most about it is its interface — it’s clean, intuitive, and very easy to use.

Cons

One great additional feature that I believe is currently missing would be the ability to share a calendar with another practitioner. This would allow another practitioner to carry out treatments during time slots when I don’t have any clients booked, making even better use of available time overall.

November 28, 2025

5.0

Great customer service if I ever have any questions and user friendly app! I also think the pricing is very fair!

Pros

Goldie booking system has a really user friendly Lay out compared to other systems I tried as well as a free customised website which really helps clients when online booking!

Cons

I have nothing bad to say about the app, the pricing is fair and very user friendly! I haven’t had no issues!

### "Best Move Ever!"

November 16, 2025

4.0

It was definitely a learning curve moving from another booking system to Goldie but I can confidently say I’m very impressed with it.

Pros

The built in card payments is fantastic! The switch over process was quick and easy too. The customer service is impressive, any email I’ve sent was replied too so quickly with all my questions answers and any issues fixed.

Cons

I would like to have an invoice available that consolidates the months payments received and card fees paid, this was available with my last booking system. I do think that finding and navigating certain things in settings can be difficult, such as changing certain work days to add holidays.

### "Goldie review from Fresha "

December 3, 2025

4.0

Overall have a great experience using Goldie. The team has been so helpful with my change over. The app is easy to use and my clients love it.

Pros

I love the personalised online profile, the ease of use, the options to import data. How I get to view how many times my client has come to me and when their next appointment is.

Cons

The booking diary is hard to read as it’s so spread out. I wish it was zoomed out for ease of looking at the times. I wish I could merge client cards as I have duplicates for them all now. A bit more personalisation of the online booking system.

November 18, 2025

5.0

I started with the free version and ran out messages. This option was great otherwise but as I use the software to communicate with clients I needed this feature.

Pros

Easy scheduling and appointment management for clients that struggle with online booking. Colour coded services menu which is great for more visual people.

Cons

I was unable to remove the payment option from messages to clients. Clients are confused saying they don’t whether to pay online or not.

June 9, 2025

5.0

9/10. It’s easy, convenient works amazing on the iPad and phone. Had very few issues. If you are not overly tech savvy or just starting a business and want to look at an organisation system. This is 100% it.

Pros

It’s extremely easy to just pick up, everything is pretty straightforward and obviously. That’s THE most important thing. Love how notes appear on the next booking as a reminder!

Cons

Not obvious how to scan/copy in forms. I’d love a Mac/pc version to accompany the mobile.. maybe there is I just haven’t explored it properly! Other than that I really can’t think of much.

### "Goldie Review by Ace the Barber"

December 4, 2025

5.0

The system is relatively easy to pick up, even for users who aren’t very tech-savvy. The interface is clean, the menus are intuitive, and most features are placed where you’d expect them. There is a slight learning curve with some of the more advanced tools, but once you get the hang of the workflow, it becomes second nature.

Pros

This platform succeeds as a reliable, full-service solution. It combines ease of use, strong security, solid scheduling tools, and efficient payment processing—making it a great fit for small businesses, service providers, and growing teams. I’d recommend it to anyone looking for an all-in-one system that won’t break the bank.

Cons

I wish I was able to add photos of my work on a regular basis thar would help boost business for entrepreneurs

I love Goldie! Easy to set up, secure, updates on everything I need and easy payment processing. It's a great value

Pros

I love how easy it was to set up! I'm not a technical person so I really appreciated the emails I received step by step to set up my site, card reader and how to's every step of the way. Scheduling and management of appointments is very easy and secure. Great value for the money! I love getting updates from options I can still add and suggestions to make my site better.

Cons

There's nothing I didn't like. I was scared to try because I'm not technical but Goldie made it easy to understand and shipped my card reader fast!

Loved it and never had any outages or issues. Free version, I had to send reminders myself. I left goldie to go to an all in 1 syatem.

Pros

The free version worked very well for what I needed when I was part time grooming. I was able to keep client info saved and never had any outages

Cons

It reminded me to send reminders, but I had to go send them myself. This was with the free version. So even with that I was forgetting or got too busy to send the reminders myself as i was working 2 jobs

### "Goldie 5 Star Review"

May 9, 2026

5.0

Overall, my experience with Goldie has been very positive. It made managing appointments, schedules, and client communication much easier and more professional. The app is simple to learn, convenient to use daily, and helpful for staying organized. I would recommend it to other beauty professionals or small business owners looking for an easy booking system.

Pros

What I liked most about Goldie was how easy it made scheduling and booking appointments. The app is very beginner friendly and helps keep everything organized in one place. I also liked the automatic reminders and messaging feature because it helped reduce no-shows and made communication with clients simple. It’s affordable for small businesses and saves a lot of time.

Cons

One thing I liked least was that some features are limited unless you pay for the upgraded version. Sometimes the app can feel a little slow or glitchy when updating appointments, and I wish there were more customization options for booking and client management.

### "Best booking app for business owners in the beaty industry "

January 15, 2026

5.0

I have only been using this app a few months ans unlike the others, this app has been the easiest and best one i have used.

Pros

This app is amazing!! The way it can colour-code for certain services really helps with booking people in. Its also great for sending messages to clients for reminders of their appointments. Its so easy to schedule clients in or even adjust appointments to suit your schedule. The payment process is so easy and reliable. Definitely great value for money i would recommend this app 100% for business owners. The privacy and security of appointments are secure and protected.

Cons

I dont like the fact you cant use paypal as a payment method rather than just bank cards. I think paypal would be a great option of payment also.
