Answer

Fresha vs NuvenarHub for UK clinics and salons

Fresha is your booking system and marketplace. NuvenarHub syncs with Fresha and wins the clients who message you first: WhatsApp, Instagram DMs and ad leads.

The short answer

Keep Fresha. Connect it to NuvenarHub so every booking lands in one client record next to that client's WhatsApp and Instagram messages. NuvenarHub then answers new enquiries in seconds and sends reminders, aftercare and rebooking messages on WhatsApp, triggered by your Fresha bookings.

What the Fresha sync does

  • One client record. Each Fresha booking matches the client by phone or email, next to their messages and form answers.
  • WhatsApp from booking events. Send a reminder the day before, aftercare the day after and a rebooking nudge when the next treatment is due.
