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 Alternatives considered [Square Point of Sale](https://www.capterra.com/p/275802/Square-Point-of-Sale/)[Fresha](https://www.capterra.com/p/142138/Shedul-com/)[Square Appointments](https://www.capterra.com/p/170263/Square-Appointments/) Reason for choosing GlossGenius Because it’s tailored specifically for salons Switched from [Mangomint](https://www.capterra.com/p/187593/Mangomint/) It was too pricey and more for larger salons not individuals!

" February 20, 2026 5.0 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. Switched from [Calendly](https://www.capterra.com/p/148036/Calendly/) I could not set up my website like GlossGenius and it’s so much easier and being able to add pictures and talk to them all at once without sending a group message is awesome! Review Source Response from GlossGenius March 2, 2026 Hi Antonia! We're thrilled to hear how much you and your clients love the ease of the website, the text messaging features, the goal-setting, and especially the gift cards. Your enthusiasm about discovering new things and learning on the app is truly encouraging! We also appreciate you bringing those challenges to our attention, specifically, the ability to post gift cards, the single-photo upload limit, the lack of video uploads, and the desire to edit flyers within the app. Feedback like this is incredibly valuable.

Owner Hospitality Used the software for: 2+ years ### "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. Review Source Response from GlossGenius November 25, 2025 Hi Stephanie! Thank you for sharing your review! We're delighted you find our pricing to be extremely affordable. We also heard your feedback on the recent system update and the issues you've experienced with the app. Our team is actively working to enhance and improve your app experience.

Hair Stylist Individual & Family Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "My Personal Assistant GlossGenius " February 20, 2026 5.0 I really love using GlossGenius for my business it's like having an assistant that not only helps with clients reminders but to keep in file every service, formula and products they purchase. It really has made my job so much easier. Pros Appointment Management, Payment Processing, Security, Appointment Sccheduling, Client Mnagement, Value for Money, and Learning Curve, Cons Not being able to save more than 1 card payment since clients are always changing card payment. Not having holidays in the calender. Switched from [Square Point of Sale](https://www.capterra.com/p/275802/Square-Point-of-Sale/) GlossGenius has way more to offer and is way easier.

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. Switched from [Mindbody](https://www.capterra.com/p/40229/MINDBODY/) I wanted to have the option to customize my services. Review Source Response from GlossGenius February 25, 2026 Hi Erika!

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.

Simple to use for me & my clients, payments are very simple, plus the amount of options in this app helps a lot when starting a new business. Pros I have used many different apps before but Gloss Genius has been the best of the best. Very easy for me & my clients to use! Cons That they don’t have like a type of “salon scale” so I can track the amount of color I use. I had to purchase another subscription for that. Switched from [Vagaro](https://www.capterra.com/p/153752/Vagaro/) Vagaro was so difficult to use for me and my clients.

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!

Other than a business bank account, I really don’t need much else. When I first started my business, GG made the administration part of entrepreneurship for me so easy and I was so grateful. Also, the rate for the gold subscription is well worth what it offers. The platform gives me plenty of room to grow and I love how I won’t have to change my platform when I have employees. Pros GG is a one stop shop for a booking software! I absolutely love the expense tracking come tax season. Cons Not being able to add multiple credit cards on client files, no memberships or recurring payments, not being allowed to collect cancellation fees until day of, not being able to distinguish what forms different clients have to sign, limited form options. Alternatives considered [StyleSeat](https://www.capterra.com/p/176521/StyleSeat/)[Acuity Scheduling](https://www.capterra.com/p/191978/Acuity-Scheduling/) Reason for choosing GlossGenius One stop shop in a booking system, overall convenience, easy-to-navigate software.

The opportunities to finance through Stripe Capital makes it easy to grow my business too! Pros I love how it helps the stylist be the most successful possible and the customer service is incredible!

Hairstylist Consumer Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Very satisfied " September 10, 2025 5.0 Pros I've never had an online booking service before and I'm so glad that I stuck with gloss genius as my first option. It is made managing my clients so much easier and they all love the option to book online with me as well. Cons There is only been a couple times when I've not been happy with the app when it was shut down for maintenance, which I think is understandable. Other than that, the only thing my clients complain about is that I can't customize exactly how many text message reminders. They each get some people love them and some people hate them.
