It is crucial that we know our numbers in this business\!\! > > **Cons**: I would like to see a different background color for my "more seasoned" eyes and I would like to be able to "zoom in", but I guess my readers will do for now\!\! > > I have been extremely happy with Gloss Genius as I have used it for at least 6 years. The Gloss Genius community is wonderful and the support on their platform is amazing - especially for any of your customer service needs pertaining to the app. - as well as the follow up to make sure everything was answered to your satisfaction. ----- ### "Gloss review" — 5.0/5 > **Bianca** | *September 24, 2025* | Consumer Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Very user friendly, easy to schedule appointments, and very affordable. Free website where clients can schedule and manage their own appointments. > > **Cons**: The website and app on rare occasions has crashed and clients aren’t able to book appointments and I am unable to take payments. > > Overall my experience with gloss is very positive, very easy to use and client reminders are very helpful. ----- ### "STay away from gloss it will ruin your business" — 1.0/5 > **diana** | *October 22, 2025* | Hospitality | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: Nothing good to say about Gloss\! Horrible company to work with. System glitches. Appointments vanish, Text reminders don’t send, credit card reader doesn't work and when I call company they tell me my issues will be issued a ticket and someone will get back to be in a day or two. Well I never heard back. This happen 4 times. 4 different issues. How do you conduct business if booking app is not working properly. They also over charged me twice. > > Horrible and unfortunate. Do not expect customer support to help you with any major issues that affect your business. ----- ### "I love how easy it is" — 5.0/5 > **Chelsea** | *September 10, 2025* | Consumer Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: 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. > > **Cons**: 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 love it. It helps me keep everything organized and together in one place. I love that I can set goals, keep up with product and inventory, easily change things, communicate with clients, and the analytics and reports are life savers ----- ### "2 + years and still going\!" — 5.0/5 > **Melissa** | *September 10, 2025* | Consumer Services | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10 > > **Pros**: Gloss Genius is the easiest software for beauty professional to use in my opinion. No spending weeks trying to smooth everything out, they make the transfer process beyond easy, though mine did take longer that my coworkers, it probably would have taken me 1000x times longer. Clients love that they don't need another password to remember and the reminder texts and emails aren't too much. Just enough reminders. I pay for the Gold service and have really enjoyed the mass text and email option - but don't like that you have to pay for more than 500 texts per month as they transferred all my clients from over ten years and it's a very long process to try and pick out the regulars or pay a big chunk to just send all. Appointment management and online booking and changes are easy on both mine and clients ends. There have been slight bug issues over the past few years but they are always beyond quick to get them fixed ASAP. I do not sell product so cannot comment on inventory personally, but i'm sure it's just as smooth as the rest. > > **Cons**: My biggest complaint is really more so a bank issue than gloss genius but when the holidays align on Mondays or Tuesdays you won't get a pay out for 4-5 days straight so you have to pay the .10% fee which can be a lot of money if you have a big chunk sitting and need to pay bills. > > I've had a very good experience with them thus far (2 years) and can't really find anything else to comment on\! Always quick to fix hiccups \& communicative. ----- Page: 1 / 15\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.ca/software/2034787/glossgenius?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.ca/software/2034787/glossgenius) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | ----- ## Structured Data
