### Most mentioned pros

- 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.
- I like that it sends me texts and asked me to leave notes via text, I like that it sends my clients several reminders and confirmation requests, I like that I asked my clients for reviews and got it integrates with my website very well.
- How the application allows you to customize how you want your customers to view your site the ease of adding photos and moving them around for your portfolio and most of all the email or text message responses for reminders for the customers appointments

### Most mentioned cons

- 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.
- 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.
- the only problem i have noticed is i have to keep my working hours open longer than usual for clients to be able to book my longer services but that allows clients to book shorter services after my last starting time.

### Six weeks in, we never took a single booking

- Overall rating: 2/5

- Reviewed: October 2026
- Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered

I'm a marketing consultant and I recommended GlossGenius to a solo lash and skincare studio. I managed the migration myself and documented it as it happened. Six weeks after the transfer request, my client had an account she couldn't open in front of a client, a calendar that didn't match her business, and no answers. She cancelled on October 23 without ever going live. She is still on her old platform. I cannot tell you whether the software is good. We were never allowed to find out. If you are starting fresh with no existing clients, your experience may be completely different. If you are migrating an active book of business, understand what you are agreeing to: your calendar goes into a queue with no deadline and no fallback, and whatever they eventually load is a snapshot of the business you had when you submitted, not the one you have when it arrives. Keep your old platform running and do not set a switch date until the transfer is verified.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 2/5
- Value for money: 1/5
- Customer support: 1/5
- Functionality: 2/5

#### Pros

I can only speak to setup, because that is as far as we ever got. Building the booking site and the service menu was straightforward, and the services their team eventually imported were accurate. That is the honest extent of what I can tell you about this product. My client never took a booking on it, never processed a payment on it, and never ran a day of her business on it.

#### Cons

The data migration. There is no self-serve import for clients or appointments, so you are completely dependent on their transfer team, and there is no committed timeline. We submitted on September 10. Services were loaded October 8, twenty-eight days later. Clients and appointments came October 14, built from an export that was three weeks stale by the time they used it. The calendar that landed had appointments that no longer existed and was missing roughly sixty real bookings. Nobody warned us an export could go stale while sitting in their queue, and that single unflagged failure mode is what broke the whole migration. I rebuilt the entire six-month calendar by hand and sent corrected files with written instructions on October 15. Nothing was done with them and nobody replied for eight days. Pricing also moved under us mid-migration. A plan increase landed while the account still wasn't usable, and card-on-file and online payments are priced at 3.4% + 15 cents versus 2.4% + 15 cents for the same card tapped in person - so the stored-card feature they market as a reason to choose the platform costs noticeably more to actually use.

### The Best Appointment Scheduling Platform!

- Overall rating: 5/5
- Reviewer: Verified Reviewer

- Company size: 2-10 employees
- Product usage: less than 1 year · weekly
- Reviewed: October 2026
- Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Functionality: 5/5

#### Pros

What I like most about GlossGenius is that it's built for beauty professionals, so it fits how a lash business actually runs, from long, detailed appointments to constant fill schedules. The platform is easy to pick up. Setup was quick, the layout is clean, and I was comfortable using it within a day or two without any formal training, making the learning curve super quick and easy. Online booking works well for lash services. I can set different appointment lengths for full sets, fills, and removals, and control who can book what. Clients can book 24/7 from my booking site, and automated confirmations and reminders have noticeably cut down on no-shows and late arrivals. Rescheduling, cancellations, and client notes are all in one place. I can save each client's lash map, preferred style, curl, length, and adhesive sensitivities, so every appointment feels personalized. Deposits and cancellation fees also protect my time on those longer bookings. The all-in-one setup of booking, payments, marketing, and a website replaces several separate subscriptions. Fewer no-shows and less time spent on admin and messaging make it well worth the cost for a solo lash artist or small studio. Overall, GlossGenius is easy to learn, reliable, and genuinely helpful for managing and growing a lash business.

#### Cons

The main drawback is that pricing can feel high for a solo lash artist just starting out, especially once you add payment processing fees on top of the monthly plan. Some of the more advanced features are also limited to higher-tier plans. Customization of the booking site and client communications could be more flexible, and reporting could go a bit deeper. These are minor issues compared to how much time the platform saves me day to day.

### Great booking site, AWFUL account security

- Overall rating: 2/5
- Reviewer: Verified Reviewer
- Industry: Cosmetics
- Company size: Self-Employed

- Reviewed: March 2026
- Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered

Yesterday I had $235 come out of my account when I decided to check my email, someone from a different state who was not me logged into my account and made the purchase I assume. I chatted with the help bot and asked if there was a customer service number I could call. The bot said no although the email regarding the suspicious login did have a phone number. I tried calling this phone number (within its operating hours) and the bot on the phone told me I called while the line was not in operation. I ended up having to settle with my bank and getting a new card. Later on in the day, after putting a ticket in explaining what had happened with my account, I got an email explaining how switching subscriptions will automatically bill the subscription I switch to, which had absolutely nothing to do with what I said, so overall poor costumer service. I’m very upset with this expirenced because I absolutely loved every other aspect of the app! (And as a side note, my password was secure and I did in fact have two factor authentication on.)

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 4/5
- Customer support: 1/5
- Functionality: 5/5

#### Pros

I loved how easy it was for clients to book appointments and the navigation was super easy to use when customizing your site, overall the organization and features were really great compared to other booking sites!

#### Cons

Poor Security and subscription fees. I opted for the free trial because I was previously using a different booking site. I wanted to try GlossGenius and when my free trial was over, it automatically selected a pricey plan when I only wanted the basic $24 subscription. I had to go in and change my plan after already paying $50 some dollars.

#### Vendor response

Hi Lyla! Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We are thrilled to hear that your clients are finding it easy to book and that the site customization has been a breeze for you. We aim to make the 'business side' of things feel effortless, so it’s great to know the organization and features are hitting the mark. Regarding the transition from your trial: I hear your frustration loud and clear. It’s never our intention to make members feel rushed or locked into a plan that doesn't fit their needs. We want the upgrade process to feel as transparent as the rest of our interface. I’d like to make this right. Would you be willing to connect with us again this time by emailing support@glossgenius.com or calling 1-888-979-7864? We will look into your account to address the price difference and discuss your security concerns in more detail. Looking forward to hearing from you!

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.

#### Ratings breakdown

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.

That it’s so user friendly and affordable. All payments and processing are convenient and secure. Other than last fall I’ve had no bugs, issues, or crashes. Scheduling is a breeze and online booking is very simple for clients to navigate.

That I can’t create add on’s without adding time to services. At least not easily. IE if I want to charge for extra length I have to manually add it during checkout as opposed to adding it under services

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.

#### Ratings breakdown

#### 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.

Hi Chelsea! We're delighted to hear that GlossGenius makes managing your business and client interactions so easy, and that our analytics help you consistently evaluate your business's health.

All of it ! I went back to work for myself in 2025. The last year I did that was from 2004-2011. Gloss Genius has been CRAZY easy & comprehensive to use when I realized that technology had left me behind from traditional business bookkeeping. I've had zero problems setting it up & maintaining my business. Multiple videos to assist me as well. My clients are at ease as well booking their appointments along with the secure payment process. I also love the ability to move appointments at a moments notice for myself AND my clients ! That adds to the value of its services for my business. It has been a HUGE relief knowing that Gloss Genius is there during each step with reliable services for all my business needs.

The only thing I haven't like was when it was shut down for a day. Nothing else to say. I love Gloss Genius.
