A salon owner is frustrated with Vagaro's booking software because it doesn't support multi-service bookings well, requires client accounts, restricts customer info editing, has calendar display bugs, and forces workarounds for a large service menu.

Vagaro's interface discourages multi-service bookings, requires client accounts, restricts customer info editing, and has calendar bugs; MangoMint is too expensive with high fees; no solution smoothly handles large service menus without workarounds.
