Very Happy Skin Therapist

I am now coming up on my two year anniversary as a solo aesthetician. Previously I had worked with half a dozen platforms and software. I believe the overall cost for what you receive from GlossGenius is by far the best value. It speaks volumes when even your elderly clients find it easy to navigate and book their appointments directly from your website.

Pros:

The ease of navigating through the platform gives me peace of mind. Even with some of the features I had trouble with or are unfamiliar with, if the automated system was unable to answer my question, I always received a great response emailed to me by one of the staff members.

Cons:

I created memberships within the platform when it was first launched. There are still some bugs to work out in the details with those, but overall, I am happy.

Reasons for choosing GlossGenius

Gloss just made more since for what I needed in my business

Reasons for switching to GlossGenius

Website, online booking and intake forms were not available. It was also becoming costly.

Vendor Response

Hi Melissa! We are thrilled to hear that the platform's ease of navigation and our supportive team have given you peace of mind, and it speaks volumes that your clients, even elderly ones, find booking so simple. It is also wonderful to know that you feel the overall value is the best in the industry. Regarding the bugs you've experienced with memberships, we take this feedback very seriously. While we are happy to hear you are generally satisfied, we want to ensure every feature works flawlessly. This is not the usual experience we want our professionals to have. Please reach out to us at support@glossgenius.com with details about the issues you're encountering so our team can look into this and resolve it for you as quickly as possible.

Good starter booking platform for solo business but not for scaling

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.

Functionality

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.

Reasons for switching to GlossGenius

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.

Vendor Response

Hi Valentina! Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re glad to hear that you find the platform easy to use, appreciate our new features, and value the seamless online booking experience!

LEAP OF FAITH, SECURE LANDING

Gloss has been a fresh breath of air compared to other platforms I’ve used. I’ve never had an issue that would make me want to leave. I feel heard and supported by the staff working behind the scenes and can only make suggestions to further improve the app!

Pros:

Ive been using Gloss for a few years now and it has been the EASIEST transition. I didn’t even have to set up my client transfer at all! I’m able to color code appointments making it easier to see my schedule clearly. The website is easy to customize and easy to use for my clients! They prefer booking with Gloss than the last platform we used! I’m able to choose the payment percentage and absorb the cost of have it paid by the clients. The processing times are immediate as well as the payouts. I love the customization we’re able to do with every corner of the app. The features that come with the app are endless and ever changing making the price 100% worth it! My favorite part about Gloss is that they care and they listen to the professionals using it. Every update has been a request made my us! I’ve also never had an issue with payments or security with my clients cards. I feel secure and safe continuing use of this platform!

Cons:

There’s not anything negative I can say, only suggestions to make. When opening the calendar can we have an automatic default to the same day. I’ve made the mistake of booking a clients appointment in a rush on the same day as the previous booking 😅Also it would be helpful to be able to click the booking time wanted without the secondary screen pulling up a random time when rebooking. Also I’d like to request that the emailed messages are able to be answered in app. I’ve missed a couple lost in my email pile up.

Reasons for choosing GlossGenius

I made the decision to go with Gloss because as an aesthetician I felt seen by the platform and didn’t have to go around the cosmetology side of the app.

Reasons for switching to GlossGenius

I needed an easier to set up and use platform where my money spent held its value. I found Gloss from a random YouTube video.

Vendor Response
