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. ----- ### "Love GlossGenius\!" — 5.0/5 > **Heather** | *20 February 2026* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The ease of setting up. I love the ease of the POS system. Low processing fees. Love that my clients get reminders. Running reports is super easy and I love the goal tracker as well. > > **Cons**: My only thing I'd like to see them do is being able to merge two tickets together, but other than that no complaints. > > I absolutely love Gloss Genius, great value for the money it does everything I need in one simple app. Clients love the ease of scheduling. I love the fact that I can manage my inventory and it alerts me when I need to re-order. I recommend Gloss Genius on my social media pages and even have had a few take my referral and sign up. ----- Page: 1 / 15\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/179440/glossgenius?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/179440/glossgenius) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
