GlossGenius

GlossGenius is an all-in-one business management platform for appointment-based beauty and wellness professionals, reporting more than 120,000 businesses. It bundles booking, payments, and client management into one polished, design-led product aimed at solo operators through multi-location teams — hair and nail salons, lash and brow studios, spas, massage, med spas, and fitness.

Where it differs from marketplace-driven rivals is monetization and clarity. GlossGenius charges a flat subscription with flat 2.6% card processing and no marketplace commission on new clients, so pricing is predictable rather than a percentage of every booking. The feature set is deep: online booking and calendar, its own card readers and POS, a client CRM with marketing campaigns and reviews, staff payroll and time tracking, forms and waivers, inventory, memberships and gift cards, and photo markup. A layer of always-on AI agents handles inquiries, rebookings, and marketing copy around the clock.

There is no permanent free plan — paid tiers sit behind a 14-day free trial. It runs on the web plus iOS and Android apps. GlossGenius fits beauty and wellness pros who want a single, well-designed system with transparent flat pricing, rather than a scheduler that clips a commission off every new booking.
