Verdict
GlossGenius is the right call for independent operators who want something clean, fast, and that makes clients feel like they're booking with a premium brand. The onboarding is genuinely fast. The deposit and cancellation policy flow is one of the cleanest in the category. Where it shows limitations: if you grow to 4+ staff or need membership-heavy models, Vagaro's extra depth starts to justify the learning curve.
