It's a scam!!!

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - Gift card bought on Fresha's site is only redeemable at salons selling certificates.
  • - The reviewer emailed Fresha and has not gotten a reply.
Fresha - It's a scam!!!

I recently purchased a gift card from Fresha's website for my mother for Mother's Day. The salon I chose was one that was offered on Fresha's website, and it is also the nail salon my mother goes to.

My mother recently went to use her gift card (gift card code), and when she spoke with the salon owner, he informed her that he only accepts gift certificates that he sells in his salon only. How is Fresha going to make it mandatory for you to book your appointment online in order to redeem your gift card for a salon that will not accept this type of payment? This is total BS. And when I tried to get in touch with this company, all I can get is an email address.

Of course, they haven't responded. I will keep trying and update this review if anything miraculous happens.

Judging by all the other reviews, I will not hold my breath.

Resolved: Invalid gift card code

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Updated by user Apr 23, 2025

Company fixed the issue and I have been provided with apology. Fresha looked into it at my request and unknowingly to me my gift card had already been applied to a previous appointment payment by the company themselves.I didn't understand where it had gone because I had not actively applied it myself!Mystery solved ... all sorted!Thankyou for all your relevant input regarding this issue.Much appreciated

Updated by user Apr 11, 2025

Once I managed to contact them ... they have remained in contact and professional regarding my issue.I feel hopeful that it will be resolved.

Original review Apr 07, 2025

Ive recently purchased a gift card in March this year.

When i try to add it to my fresha wallet it says "invalid code"

Please advise.

Loss:
$25

Preferred solution: I would like to be able to redeem my £25 gift card as it keeps coming up "invalid code"

User's recommendation: I've only just contacted Fresha about my recently purchased gift card code issue and I am waiting for their response. Hopefully it will be resolved quickly and then I will give an honest review.

Strong objection to being required to provide bank details before appointment

AI Highlights
  • - I scheduled a hair appointment in person.
  • - I got a Fresha text asking me to confirm with bank details.
  • - They say it is poor practice due to security.
Updated by user Mar 05, 2025

i will book direct with the Hairdressers or, if not possible without the use of Fresha i will simply find another Hairdresser that communicates directs with myself.

Original review Mar 04, 2025

Just made a hair appointment in person. Next thing i receive a text from a Fresha.com asking me to confirm appointment by providing my bank details.

REALLY!!! This is poor practice, especially in this day and age of stolen information.

User's recommendation: Don't give your bank details.

Charged me twice and Spa didn't even get the notification

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - Gift card purchase was charged twice.
  • - It's hard to reach anyone at the company.
  • - The spa didn't receive the notification of the purchase.
Contains 1 confidential file for company representatives

We tried to buy a gift card for a local spa for my mom for Christmas, and the company charged my card twice. Good luck getting ahold of anyone there.

I've tried sending an email through their website, but it only lets you load one picture.

I have reached out to the spa, and they didn't even get the notification that we had purchased a gift. I sent the spa my info as well, and they are reaching out to Fresha as well...

Loss:
$200
Pros:
  • Access to lots of local spas
Cons:
  • Website gets stuck and payment system is garbage

Preferred solution: Full refund

User's recommendation: Probably stay away until they figure out how to operate a system of payments...
