Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
GlossGenius is an all-in-one business management platform for beauty, wellness, and health businesses, including salons, spas, medspas, and independent professionals. Its scope extends beyond appointment scheduling: clients can book through a login-free website, while businesses can manage calendars, reminders, deposits, payments, client records, marketing, inventory, staff operations, and analytics. Web, iOS, and Android coverage makes it suitable for independent professionals and growing beauty teams that want booking and point-of-sale functions in one system.
Pricing is organized into five paid plans, with listed prices using annual billing. Standard costs $24 per month and includes a custom booking website, unlimited client notifications, marketing, inventory and retail management, packages, and memberships. Gold costs $48 per month and adds forms and waivers, Google Booking and Reviews, an automated waitlist, time tracking, and room and resource management. Platinum costs $148 per month and adds team goal setting, analytics, customizable commissions, Google Marketing Analytics, and features for teams of 10+. Practice Essentials costs $148 per month and focuses on aesthetics practices with EMR tools, booking, scheduling, payments, and point of sale. Practice Advanced costs $248 per month and adds a full AI clinical suite and unlimited providers. A 14-day trial is available, but there is no ongoing free plan.
The platform fits businesses that need scheduling closely connected to payments, retail, client communications, and team administration. Its integrations include Google Calendar, iCal, Outlook, Google Booking, Instagram, Facebook, and Yelp. Appointment confirmations, reminders, waitlists, deposits, card-on-file policies, and cancellation policies support day-to-day booking operations. However, the breadth and paid structure may be more than a solo professional needs if only basic scheduling is required. Businesses that depend on group or round-robin scheduling should choose a product designed around those workflows instead.
