Detailed Review

GlossGenius positions itself as a comprehensive business management solution specifically designed for beauty and wellness professionals operating as solopreneurs or small teams. The Android application combines scheduling, payment processing, client management, and marketing capabilities into a single platform, aiming to streamline operations for service-based businesses. The app's core functionality centers around its automated appointment scheduling system, which allows clients to book services directly through customizable booking pages synchronized with the practitioner's calendar. This is complemented by client management tools that maintain detailed records, service histories, and communication logs. The payment processing system supports same-business-day transfers and integrates with physical chip card readers for in-person transactions, while the marketing suite includes automated reminders, promotional tools, and website building capabilities. User experience varies significantly according to device performance and recent updates. The interface employs a clean, visually-oriented design with intuitive navigation through calendar views, client profiles, and payment processing screens. However, real-world usage patterns reveal concerning stability issues, particularly during high-traffic operational hours when practitioners rely on the app for client check-outs and schedule management. These technical problems have reportedly intensified over the past year according to long-term users. User feedback reflects a mixed reception, with praise for the comprehensive feature set but growing concerns about reliability. Raven Wright (March 24, 2025) reported persistent crashing issues that directly impact business operations, stating the app 'keeps crashing when I'm working and I can't see my schedule or check out clients.' Conversely, Hailey Jones (November 23, 2023) praised the automation features that 'think for me when I get busy.' Pricing structure changes have also generated discussion, with Savannah Mahone (January 7, 2024) acknowledging added value while questioning the justification for doubled pricing. The platform demonstrates significant strengths in its integrated approach to business management, particularly through its seamless combination of scheduling, payments, and client communication. However, persistent stability issues on Android devices and limited website customization options represent notable limitations. The solution appears most suitable for solo beauty professionals seeking to consolidate their business operations, though teams may require more robust enterprise-grade stability.

Incredibly helpful! It thinks for me when I get busy and can't help my clients the way I should, but Gloss is on top of things and killing it! 10/10

I love this app. I've been using it for about a year now and it's so easy to use compared to other booking apps. My older clientele doesn't have any issues with it either which I love. I do wish that the deposits are always the same day, like on Friday you don't get money til Monday and in the service industry Friday and Saturday are by far the busiest days.

This is the best all-in-one platform. I love the aesthetics!!! Additionally, the fact that customers don't have to download a separate app and create an account to book an appointment, like the competitor. Plus, 100% Chargeback Protection?! NOTHING can beat that.

edit: customer service replied, and i was able to trouble shoot- great app, just crashes frequently. currently can't log in to my app at all and as a small business owner that's obviously a big issue. would love a phone number for support rather than waiting for an email
