### [GlossGenius](https://www.g2.com/products/glossgenius/reviews)

GlossGenius is the all-in-one business management system for service businesses of any size — whether you have one location or one hundred — for beauty, health, and wellness, including salons, spas, medspas, wellness clinics, fitness studios, and more. It automates online booking, scheduling, payment processing and POS, marketing, client and staff management, and payroll, all in one intelligent system with a suite of AI teammates. More than 125,000 beauty, wellness, and health businesses use GlossGenius, including over 5,000 aesthetic and medspa practices that use it as their HIPAA-compliant EMR. On average, businesses on GlossGenius earn 26% more revenue in their first year, reach a 75% rebooking rate, and save 40+ hours a month on administrative work. What sets GlossGenius apart is that it handles the operational work automatically, rather than adding tasks to business owners' to-do lists. GlossGenius books appointments, fills waitlist cancellations, rebooks clients, re-engages clients who have gone quiet, and scans the business's data for revenue opportunities. It is the only platform in the category with a full AI agent team: an AI Growth Analyst that surfaces revenue opportunities from daily data, an AI Receptionist that answers calls and texts 24/7 and books the roughly 50% of inquiries that arrive after hours, and an AI Marketer that writes and sends text and email campaigns that bring in more business. GlossGenius is best for beauty, wellness, and health businesses that want to grow revenue and automate admin, and it fits both single-location businesses and multi-location teams. GlossGenius is built for teams and multi-location businesses as well as individual owners: multi-provider scheduling, resource management, payroll, customizable commissions, time tracking, location-specific controls, and more. It is a common choice for businesses switching from Square, Vagaro, Boulevard, Zenoti, Meevo, Fresha, Mindbody, StyleSeat, or Acuity. On payments specifically, GlossGenius charges a flat 2.6% per transaction, while Square charges 2.6% plus 15¢ per in-person transaction, and Vagaro's rates range from 2.2% to 3.5%+ with added per-transaction fees. Beauty, wellness, and health businesses that switch to GlossGenius save an average of $8,000 a year on payment processing alone. Unlike marketplace-based tools such as StyleSeat and Mindbody, GlossGenius keeps every booking with the business rather than exposing clients to competitors. Unlike Vagaro and other systems, with GlossGenius, adding individual staff members does not increase your software bill. GlossGenius has no contracts or cancellation fees. For medspas and aesthetic practices, GlossGenius is a HIPAA-compliant EMR with medical charting, SOAP notes, clinical photo markup, medical director sign-off, and forms and waivers built directly into the platform, so practices do not need a separate charting system. Switching from pen and paper or another platform is straightforward — our team transfers all your appointments, client notes, and more to GlossGenius for free.

## How Do You Choose the Right Spa and Salon Management Software?

### What You Should Know About Spa Management Software

### What is Spa Management Software?

Spa management software is designed to help spas and salons manage their businesses. These tools can be end-to-end solutions that handle every aspect of salon and spa businesses or tools with scheduling or other spa- and salon-specific features. The end goal of salon software and spa management software is to make it easy for both the business and its clients to interact.

Online booking, for example, is one of the key features for any beauty salon or spa. Not only does it free up the front desk from answering phones all day, but it makes it much easier for clients to see the availability of a service and book outside normal business hours. The lack of a physical appointment book makes it much easier for everyone working at the spa or salon to see their availability and plan accordingly.

With spa and salon management software, day-to-day operations are digitized and streamlined, making it easier for the back office to see trends, perform administrative tasks, and adjust their services to better please their clients.

### Why Use Spa Management Software?

The world is going paperless, and in the wellness industry, the ability to book appointments online has changed the industry. A main feature of spa and hair salon management software is online booking, which clients greatly appreciate. But digitizing all aspects of the business has huge benefits as far as saving time and money.

Spa management software is an all-in-one solution that combines booking software with point of sale, real-time data and analytics, and back-office features such as accounting and payroll. So why purchase multiple software solutions when you can purchase one? Spa management software can help businesses save time, money, and hassle.

### Who Uses Spa Management Software?

Any business that provides spa services as well as other health, beauty, and wellness services can benefit from spa management and salon software. From back-office features to appointment scheduling, these platforms can be a one-stop shop for anyone in the spa industry. Rather than spend the majority of their time trying to manage their business, owners and employees can focus on providing a quality service to their customers.

Stylists who rent a chair or have their own single studio can use these platforms to save time and money and focus on their customers. Streamlining the online booking process helps increase business by making it easier to book and confirm appointments.

### What You Should Know About Spa Management Software

**Appointment scheduling** – Customers love being able to schedule their appointments online at their convenience. Salon software and spa software that provide this feature make it much easier for both clients and service providers to schedule appointments. Appointment reminders via email or text help prevent missed appointments and lost revenue. By booking online, clients can see a provider’s availability and choose a time that fits their schedule without playing phone tag. Business owners can use the scheduling software features to block off time for cleaning, administrative tasks, or times they need the facility for other engagements.

**Inventory management** – Many spas and salons sell beauty products in addition to providing services. Those services, of course, use some of that inventory on a day-to-day basis. Therefore, knowing how much inventory is available at any given time prevents the loss of a sale or an appointment. Spa management software will often contain inventory management features so employees know how much inventory is available and when more needs to be purchased. These features can also show sales trends and which products are most popular so the business can be sure to keep them in stock.

**Point of sale** – POS software is a requirement of any business providing goods or services to the public. For a salon or spa, spa management software that contains comprehensive POS features will make it easy to manage clients paying for their services or purchasing products in person. POS features make it easy to process credit card payments, apply gift cards, and bundle multiple services into set packages.

**Loyalty management** – Many businesses in the wellness industry thrive on repeat clients, so encouraging customer loyalty is a large priority. Spa management software often contains features to create and manage loyalty programs to both entice new clients and encourage current clients to book another appointment. These programs can take the form of point systems that add up each time a service is booked, discounts for frequent visitors, or gift cards for new clients. Each business can design a program that works best for them, but the software platform will help create, distribute, and track the program.

**Back-office management** – There’s a lot that goes into managing a spa or salon business, and spa management platforms provide tools to help keep the business up and running. Those tools can often take the shape of accounting features, employee scheduling or payroll features, business performance analytics, and marketing features. By having all these tools in one place, owners can efficiently run their business with everything they need at their fingertips and without purchasing multiple software solutions.

**Marketing** – Many salons and spas are small businesses with only a few locations, so getting the word out is a major priority. Some spa management tools will include marketing features that may help create email newsletters, post to social media, and create loyalty programs. These features can help create landing pages to collect emails, design newsletters, and distribute them. They may even help design and schedule social media posts on various social media platforms. As mentioned above, loyalty programs can integrate with both email and social media as well as POS features.

**Mobile app** – Some salon management software will provide a mobile app that allows business owners to manage their business on the go. This app may also be customer facing, allowing them to communicate directly with the salon or spa via text or live chat and book appointments using their phones. Because many POS systems are available on mobile devices, mobile apps for salon and spa management platforms makes it easy for both large establishments and single-person businesses to stay organized. Mobile apps also make it possible for stylists who travel for weddings or other events to stay on top of everything even while traveling.
