Vagaro partners with Affirm to offer a smarter, more flexible way to pay for wellness and beauty services

SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Vagaro, the leading software for businesses in beauty, wellness, and fitness, today announced a partnership with Affirm (NASDAQ: AFRM), the payment network that empowers consumers and helps merchants drive growth. Now Vagaro’s nearly 100,000 U.S. businesses — including salons, spas, fitness studios, and wellness providers — can offer Affirm’s flexible, transparent pay-over-time options directly at checkout, both online and in person.

“Vagaro’s mission is to give businesses the tools they need to grow. Partnering with Affirm — a company that shares our commitment to trust, transparency, and putting customers first — helps us do just that,” said Fred Helou, CEO of Vagaro. “Together, we’re giving people a flexible, responsible way to pay, while helping our businesses better serve their customers.”

“As the U.S. health and wellness market heads toward $3.7 trillion by 2034, businesses that offer flexible, transparent payment options will be best positioned to capture that growth,” said Pat Suh, SVP of Revenue at Affirm. “This partnership delivers on both sides: consumers enjoy more choice and control at checkout, while businesses unlock a powerful way to attract clients, strengthen loyalty, and scale.”

Through this partnership, Vagaro businesses can offer approved customers the ability to book services and pay over time with personalized biweekly or monthly plans, starting at 0% APR. Customers will go through an eligibility check each time they choose Affirm, and will never pay late or hidden fees.
