GlossGenius is the system 120,000+ beauty, wellness, and health businesses trust to earn more revenue and get more time back.
Why GlossGenius?
Get more new clients
Your booking site ranks on Google, so new clients find you when they're searching — no paid ads required. Automated confirmations and reminders keep no-shows off your calendar. And 24/7 online booking fills your schedule while you're with clients, at dinner, or asleep.
Earn more from every appointment
Other point-of-sale systems just process payments. GlossGenius is the only point-of-sale that earns you more. Keep more of what you make with our low, flat 2.6% rate and no hidden fees. Grow your average ticket value with features like Buy Now, Pay Later, Memberships, and Packages that make it easier for clients to spend more. Take payments from anywhere with Tap to Pay on iOS and Android or our GlossGenius card readers. And quickly access your earnings with free same-business-day transfers.
Put busywork on autopilot
Other systems give you more to do. GlossGenius does more work for you. Staff calendars, cancellations, and waitlists run themselves. Payroll takes minutes: commissions, tips, and team pay are calculated and tracked automatically. One dashboard shows your top services, most valuable clients, and revenue at a glance. Your Growth Analyst works 24/7 to spot and surface growth opportunities, so your business can keep earning, even when you’re off the clock.
Keep clients coming back
60% of clients who leave without a next appointment won't rebook on their own. Other tools leave that to you. GlossGenius makes sure they come back, without you having to ask. Clients get prompted to rebook at checkout while the experience is still fresh. Automated reminders go out when they're due for a visit — no chasing required. AI-powered Email & Text Marketing makes it easy to draft campaigns to hook clients who have drifted. Memberships & Packages give your best clients a reason to keep coming back.

I am a Barber and I just recently switched to GlossGenius from TheCut. Reason I switched was because TheCut has a feature where you can send out blast messages to all your clients but for some reason, a lot of my clients weren’t getting those blast messages so I wanted to find a booking platform that sent out text message campaigns instead and GlossGenius kept coming up in my social media feeds so here I am. I have my books set up where it requires a deposit to book which makes people have to put a debit card in. My dilemma with Gloss right now is that a few of my clients are having a hard time booking because the site won’t accept their debit cards for whatever reason. So I end up having to book their appointments for them. Not sure what this bug is but it we’d to be fixed asap! Also, one of my clients who has 2 boys, made a complaint about not being able to book more than 1 appointment at a time. On TheCut, you can book multiple appointments in one sitting. On Gloss, if someone wants to book “a Kid Haircut” and a “adult haircut” they have to book them separately. Maybe you guys should make it to where people can book more than 1 service in the same bookingUpdate* — a new issue I just received via text form a client this morning was my gloss booking site was twins them their phone # wasn’t a valid # smh. PLEASE FIX! I’d really hate to switch platforms again on all my clients but if need be I will. I’m getting way too many complaints for me to just switch over to gloss recently
Developer Response
Hi there! I appreciate you sharing your feedback! While we allow clients to add any type of cards for booking and for taking full payments, we validate cards that are not capable for prepayment. We believe that this will give you the power to confidently enforce your cancellation policy and maintain the quality of appointments booked! When it comes to booking an appointment at the same time, we do allow double booking on your booking site! Would you be willing to contact us at support@glossgenius.com so we can give you the precise instruction on how to do this in the app? We would love to reach out to you directly but there's no information in your post that will allow us to contact you. Looking forward to connecting with you!
Honest review

I’m an solo esthetician with my own business. I originally started playing around with GlossGenius when I was in school, love the esthetic & just how appealing the app really is. However, I really wanted a form feature, so sadly I switched to Fresha. I am now back with GlossGenius, they have a form feature & it’s so nice to have, they have waivers, which are great! The only downside to the forms is it’s unorganized chaos, you have to create your question & assign it to a service, for every question. The other booking site I used had a form for everything (that you created), so it was way more organized and you didn’t have to scroll through 100 questions to take something out.. etc. Another feature I wish Gloss would add is a payment link, or even a product store. You can sell products during the actual checkout process, but say you had a new client (& you don’t have their card on file) that wants to buy a cleanser, you literally cannot accept payment unless they’re right in front of you with their card. So a payment link would be a huge feature, I had to create business Venmo in order to accept payment outside of Gloss. I think the esthetic of Gloss is amazing, but to pay $50 a month is a little steep for the amount of features it’s missing, or that could improve the overall experience of the booking site. Other than those minor things, it’s really a great booking app!
Great for solo estheticians but I have my doubts they can support you as you grow a
Regular spiralizer
Multiple technical issues recently in the last few months. Been using Gloss for a year and the issues have become more prevalent in recent months. Support is always responsive to me but the issues have not been addressed! These include: repeatedly calling me someone else’s name entirely (they have me stored in their system as someone else for reasons I never knew and they never corrected); the app asking for a drivers license of a client for a larger transaction (over $600) but no place to enter the drivers license image or info; the card reader never working despite multiple attempts at help from support; and most recently, it appears that a receipt for one client was sent to the client just prior (!), which is of course a huge privacy concern. There is no way for me to see what clients receive which emails, so I can’t verify it myself. Also, this is a platform that can only be updated from an app, not a desktop, so you have to do it all from a phone or tablet. I also don’t like that when someone books, they have to select a date, then move forward a screen to check times, then go back if you don’t like the times (bad UI). I would prefer it if you could select a date, see the times without having to click forward and back. It’s a great option for someone just starting out but I’m starting to look at other platforms as I grow because I am beginning to see that Gloss cannot grow with me. I am on the Gold plan for reference.

Boutique Salon Owner, switched salon from square
taranelsongroves
I switched my entire salon staff over from Square a couple of months ago and we are really loving Gloss Genius. It’s very easy to use. I did have to get four stars though, because there has been a huge hindrance for our customers who find us online and on Facebook and Instagram… Which is the majority of our new clientele in this day of time. When they log into the booking page, it only shows the providers name not the services so if you have a multi service salon like I do, you may should wait until they integrate that, because as of right now we’ve lost some business over it. New clients, who want a spray tan don’t know who the service provider is who does spray tans, or, for example, a new client who finds us on Instagram, doesn’t know the service providers name who does nails so unfortunately we’ve had some negative feedback about it and I know for a fact it has cost us. Hopefully Gloss Genius will update it soon but I do have a great things to say about their tech-support. They are awesome at helping out. I just hope they can update this for a multi service line like ours ASAP or we are going to have to find something else unfortunately.
