I love that I’m able to completely customize appointments, prices and keep track of inventory all in one place. It has definitely been a game changer for my business > > **Cons**: I don’t really have anything negative that I encountered. Only thing I wish would change is the payout. It like for maybe an instant payout feature. I wouldn’t even mind if it had a fee. Just access to funds right away would be great > > I’m very happy with the service I have received and I will continue to use and recommend GlossGenius to everyone I can ----- ### "Perfect system for a solo suite owner" — 5.0/5 > **Alicia** | *20 February 2026* | Consumer Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I love how easy it is for clients to book. They don’t need to create an account and have easy access to see all relevant information. > > **Cons**: I want an option to add their mailing address when booking. And also a P\&L report. More customization for automated text message would also be helpful. > > Gloss has been easy to work with and I haven’t had any major issues. I’ve used it now for at least 5 years ----- ### "Highly recommend" — 5.0/5 > **Kristen** | *3 January 2026* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy to design website, clients can book their appointments and cancel with ease. Sends waivers and instructions and reminders to all clients > > **Cons**: The price is a little high but overall not too bad. It’s worth the money for all the features you get. > > I have been using GlossGenius for 5 years now and I love it. Sending texts and reminders appointments are extremely important ----- ### "Very Happy Skin Therapist" — 5.0/5 > **Melissa** | *20 February 2026* | Cosmetics | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **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. > > 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. ----- ### "LEAP OF FAITH, SECURE LANDING" — 5.0/5 > **Jannah** | *20 February 2026* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **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. > > 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\! ----- Page: 1 / 15\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/179440/glossgenius?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/179440/glossgenius) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
