Who this is for

Salons, barbers and spas moving from Fresha.

What moves, and what does not

What moves

  • Services, with duration, price and category.
  • Clients. An email is optional: a name, an email or a phone number is enough.
  • Future appointments, brought in as confirmed. Past appointments are skipped unless you choose to keep them as history.

Fresha does not give you a file for team members. To bring that over, prepare a CSV yourself in our spreadsheet format.

What does not move

  • Fresha states client card details cannot be exported or transferred.
  • Packages, memberships and gift card balances. Cicini does not import them.
  • Reviews, loyalty points and product stock.
  • Anything stored as a PDF, photo or attachment.

Step 1: export your data from Fresha

These are short steps in our own words. Fresha changes its menus from time to time, so follow its own article if something looks different.

  1. Step 1: On desktop open Clients, then Clients list.

  2. Step 2: Choose Options at the top right and pick CSV.

  3. Step 3: For the service menu and appointments, use the export option on the service menu and appointments list. Check the provider’s article for the current menu names.

    Not confirmed by us: check the provider’s article.

Some steps are not confirmed
The client export steps match Fresha’s article. The service menu and appointment exports were not confirmed against an official article, so check Fresha’s help centre for those.

Step 2: import into Cicini

  1. Open Import & Export in your Cicini dashboard and choose your current provider.
  2. Upload the file you exported. Cicini reads CSV files; if your provider gives you Excel, open it and save it as CSV first.
  3. Check the column mapping. The provider preset fills it in, and you can change any column.
  4. Review duplicates. For each match choose merge, skip or create new, or apply one choice to all.
  5. Preview and validate. Fix or skip any row with a problem; a CSV of the problem rows is available.
  6. Confirm. Nothing is sent to your clients: an import sends no emails, texts or reminders. You can undo the whole import for 30 days.

Step 6: confirm the totals. Nothing is sent to your clients.

Silent, reversible and free to try

Silent import
An import is silent. Cicini sends no email or text to any imported client, and reminders for imported appointments stay off until you turn them on.
30-day undo
You can undo a whole import for 30 days. Records the import created are removed, merged records are put back, and anything you have used since is kept and listed.

Assisted import is free during launch. If you would rather not do it yourself, ask our team. Contact support.

Questions about moving from Fresha

Frequently asked questions

Will my clients get an email or text when I import them?

No. Imports are silent: Cicini sends no messages to imported clients, and reminders for imported appointments are off until you switch them on.

Can I undo an import?

Yes, for 30 days. Open Import & Export, then History, and choose Undo. Created records are removed, merged records are restored, and anything used since is kept and listed.

What does an import cost?

Importing is available on every plan, including Free. Assisted import, where our team helps with the file, is free during launch.

Do my clients need an email address?

No. A client needs a name, an email or a phone number. Marketing consent is never assumed: it is off unless your file has an explicit opt-in column.

Can I bring over my clients’ saved cards?

No. Fresha states card details cannot be exported, so clients add a card again when they next book.
