You're not the only one who's had enough.
Dog Groomers face unique challenges: Managing breed-specific grooming notes and client preferences. No-shows when each grooming appointment is 1-3 hours. Gingr costs $80+/month and is designed for multi-groomer shops. Tracking product costs per groom — shampoo, blade wear, etc.. On top of all that, Vagaro charges $50/month ($600/year) — money that comes directly from your revenue. The median dog groomer earns $35,000/year. Software at $600/year is a meaningful percentage of that income, every year, forever. And you do not own anything.
Your Clippers and blade sets (Andis, Wahl) is yours. You bought it once. Helix works the same way — $279 once for invoicing, scheduling, CRM, time tracking, and full accounting. All connected. All offline-capable. You own it like you own your tools.
Vagaro is just one piece. What else are you losing money on?
