### "Fantastic system and great pricing"

October 10, 2024

5.0

It’s been wonderful! Transfer was smooth! Great customer service!

Pros

I love that it is geared specifically towards our industry

Cons

That there isn’t a way for clients to add their credit card when I schedule them (like a link they have to complete before the appointment time is confirmed) and a text system to remind them their appointment starts in 15mins and they can check in. Then stylist can say they are ready for the client via text too

Reason for choosing GlossGenius

Because it’s tailored specifically for salons

It was too pricey and more for larger salons not individuals! However I LOVED it but it cost too much.

February 20, 2026

I am very pleased with my experience with Gloss Genius. I am so glad I made the switch. I wish I had made the switch sooner.

Pros

I like the way the Appointment management is set up and the value for your money. Gloss is always looking for ways to improve too.

Cons

At first it is a huge learning curve with gloss but once you get it figured out you will love gloss it.

### "There are better options for your business"

November 20, 2025

3.0

My overall experience with GlossGenius is that for a lower-cost system, it's okay. They are continuously raising the prices and making different tiers, which is normal, but they are trying to add too much too quickly. The system cannot keep up with it. They do not follow up with their members to see what they like and what they don't like. The lower cost was no longer worth the headache that GlossGenius created for my business.

Pros

What I liked most about GlossGenius is that when I first started using it, it was really aesthetically pleasing. It was one of the lower-cost options, and at that point it was important to me that it was extremely affordable.

Cons

What I didn't like about GlossGenius is that the system was always "down". There were a lot of times that I couldn’t get in to see what clients I had for the day, or I couldn’t find their color formula because I couldn’t even log into the system. Every time they make an update, it seems to throw everything off. They were constantly changing the aesthetics of it.

February 20, 2026

Great! I enjoy learning on th app and discovering new things. I would like to be able to edit the flyers in the app.

Pros

I love the easibilty of the website. Not only for me but my clients. I love the text messaging and the goals. I love everything even the gift cards!

Cons

I don’t like that I can post the gift cards, that I can only load one pic at a time and that I can’t upload videos. I’m still learning the app though.

Pros

Cons

Not being able to save more than 1 card payment since clients are always changing card payment. Not having holidays in the calender.

### "Be a Boss with Gloss"

February 20, 2026

5.0

Overall, I am really enjoying Gloss. I love the convenience of the automated text. I also love that I am able to customize my features. It is very easy to navigate.

Pros

For me, I love that GlossGenius does the automated notifications for myself and for my clients. I have a hard time keeping up with that myself, so I appreciate that Gloss does it for me.

Cons

I wish there were more color options for my service items. There isn’t an option available for booking when room sharing. If there were an option for select services to allow for double booking(ie- if my roommate has a scheduled lash appointment , I can schedule hair appts during that time but my clients can not schedule lashes while she is lashing, that would be amazing.

### "The Best Booking App"

February 20, 2026

I’m pleased 1000% I really love everything about Glossgenius. It’s very much needed and easy to use along with setting up your favorites.

Pros

Being able to allow my clients to book out as far as I like. I’m not always available to recieve calls or answer text messages.

Cons

Not being able to get money instantly. Honestly that’s not even a problem but if I have to really goose it would be the fees attached.

### "Good starter booking platform for solo business but not for scaling "

December 10, 2025

4.0

Overall I find GlossGenius to be a good option for a small solo business, perhaps hair or massage. For a larger spa I found there to be lots of features lacking. The platform also heavily focuses on mobile app features instead of desktop version.

Pros

I liked that the platform was easy to use and they are always bringing on new features that users request. I also liked that it was easy for a client to schedule an appointment using the online booking system. For how many features are offered, I do believe you get great value for the money.

Cons

I wish the client facing website was more customizable. Everything is a preset template but it can be difficult to make it match your own branding. It would be nice to be able to have an option offer a website widget instead of a separate booking page since the domain isn't customizable. I did find the platform to be quite glitchy and didn't find it to be as robust for a growing business. The reports section were a joke.

Switched from

[Square Appointments](https://www.capterra.com/p/170263/Square-Appointments/)

I switched because I wanted to be able to keep a card on file and require deposits when booking an appointment which square did not have an easy option to do that.

### "Who’s Better for My Business Than Gloss Genius? No One!"

July 2, 2025

5.0

My overall experience with Gloss Genius has been nothing short of amazing. The platform is incredibly user-friendly and packed with features that make running my business so much easier. From scheduling and client management to payments and reporting, there’s truly nothing this software can’t do. I especially love that it integrates Google reviews, which helps boost my online presence, and offers Buy Now, Pay Later options for clients, making my services more accessible. It’s an all-in-one solution that has completely streamlined my workflow, and I couldn’t be happier with it.

Pros

What I absolutely love about this software is how simple it is for my clients to book! They don’t have to download an app or set up a profile—just log in, book, and they’re good to go. It’s super convenient, fast, and totally user-friendly!

Cons

Before Gloss Genius, I didn’t have a way to track my time or pay myself efficiently—but now I do, and I absolutely love it! Their new features have made managing my business so much easier.

Its been an aweaome experience with Glossgenius. I shpped around for a while before choosing and I"m glad I took my time to do the research. The overall appeal of the schduling site is far more easier on the eye than other popular platforms. Gloss Genius will have my business for a long time.

Pros

Its extremely easy to navigate and set up. Its also visually appealing. The website options look expensive and luxurious compared to other schduling platforms.

### "My clients love GG and so do I! "

July 2, 2025

5.0

I signed up when I first opened a suit because the provider next door had a GG sticker on her window and said she loved it. Best decision ever. Customer service is fantastic. Clients are obsessed. Business coach loves that I can pull analytics.

Pros

Gloss Genius is so easy for my clients and I to use! They roll out much needed new features quite often. The analytics allow me to reevaluate consistently for health of the business.

Cons

I wish my clients could shop for product to pick up in person from the website based on current inventory. I wish I had additional analytics per client/ticket that seperate evaluate retail for per ticket and service dollars per ticket seperately rather thank service dollars, tip dollars, and retail dollar per client being averaged together. Wish I could set pop up notes for clients when I click their appt and the ability to add a landing page pop up on the website to that has the capability to display a custom message and an image. It would also be great if GG had capability for discount codes where I could set the expiration date and the name of the code. I would love this as an in between membership from the Gold to the Platinum (which is way more than I need as an independent hairstylist). I'm saying I would be willing to pay extra for these features to be integrated.

September 16, 2025

4.0

Magnificent. I'm glad to be apart of the Gloss genius family. I have not really received any new clients from the site itself but my clients love that it is easy to maneuver through.

Pros

I love the layout format for both gold and regular plans. I love that they had forms we could use to make sure our clients were well aware of policies and that we were covered with color waivers. I also love the intake forms. I'm new to the loans but they have worked for me so far as well and I believe it is a plus for stylist who need to get ahead on some things.

Cons

I wish I had an area where I could sale products on the site. I am however able to go in myself and add a product to their checkout but I would love to have it available for them to purchase on site. With me being a Trichologist I focus on healing the body as a whole and offer affirmation/build me up packages for my clients.

Switched from

### "Wonderful app!"

February 20, 2026

5.0

Great app! I recommend it to all my massage and cosmetology people! I love how versatile it is as well as user friendly!

Pros

I love having everything I need in my app,easily accessible and secure! I also love the fact that I can have it on multiple devices, so I always have a form of my schedule on me.

Cons

I don't necessarily like that I have to pay for gold to get a SOAP note format; I feel the app is set up more ideally for cosmetology than for massage,unless you pay more.

### "Gloss Genius Glory "

February 20, 2026

5.0

I’ve had a great experience since 2019 and I will not be going to any other app. I’ve tried some others out just to see the difference.

Pros

I’ve been with you guys since 2019 and I’ve seen the app grow in some amazing ways. The pricing is great for all of the features you get.

Cons

It updates a lot! I appreciate the effort put in but the features change a lot. You go from regular features to gold level features.

### "Easy breezy booking!"

February 20, 2026

5.0

Easy to use and set up, very convenient! I enjoy the simplicity and the amount of help the is available for me as the user.

Pros

How easy it is for my clients to navigate! Not only is it a breeze for them to find services and dates, but it’s also convenient for them to reschedule if/when needed.

Cons

The “time after appointment” accumulation when a client books more than one service. For example, if I have 5 minutes after each service, and a client books 3 services, it adds 15 minutes after their appointment when I only need the 5!

It’s been an ease being able to add services, days on and off, and the security of my clients personal information!

Pros

The ease of scheduling appointments for my clients! There’s no learning curve for the average consumer with really helps since my clients are older.

Cons

I have yet to have an issue with the app! It’s great value for what I’m able to do between interacting with my clients and adjusting schedules in real time with proper notifications.

We’re thrilled to hear about your experience, Ramsey! We're glad to know that the online forms and booking process have made things easier for both you and your clients. It’s great to know that the app has been helpful as you start your business journey and that the videos are supporting your growth. We also appreciate your feedback about payout timing. While next-day transfers are standard right now, we understand how important quicker access to your funds can be and are always exploring ways to improve. That said, after processing a few more payments, we recommend exploring our Instant Payout Feature. Instant Payouts offer you the flexibility to access your funds whenever you need them, eliminating the wait for the next business day.
