| Best for | Multi-location salons and spas | Solo stylists and independent beauty pros |
| Who it's not for | Solo stylists . overkill and likely overpriced | Med spas and clinics needing clinical charting |
| Privacy | Claims annual independent audits; no confirmed public vulnerabilities, one third-party disclosure report unresolved.13 | No known public vulnerabilities found in the sources reviewed. |
| Support quality | Only vendor-curated testimonials found | Reddit reports unanswered calls and texts |
| Public sentiment | Independent user feedback in sources is sparse; salon and medspa owners on Facebook and Reddit actively compare Boulevard against Vagaro and Meevo.10 | Users praise simple booking, automated reminders, and fair 2.6% rates, though some report slow customer support.⁷ |
| Biggest gotcha | No published prices . sales demo required; expect per-location creep.² | Advertised 2.6% flat fee excludes online payments, which run 2.9% + 30 cents |
