I’m wanting to get away from using my personal cell phone for client booking or inquiries anyone had success with an alternative app such as google voice?
I use google voice. It works for calls and texts. However I have started using Gloss Genius and that has completely changed the game for me and saved SO much time! This is what it did for me this week. You can try it out here: https://glossgenius.com/invite/desertbloom
I try not to do any bookings on my phone.
I also use gloss genius!! Has saved me HOURS of my life. I don’t list my phone number on my website and for those that do still try to call me, my voicemail basically says “for appointments, services offered and bookings, please go to my website...”
I’m usually working all day, and I’m not calling people back late at night. If I see a call or voicemail come though, they will usually go right to my website and fill out my contact form after that.
I’m in a solo salon suite, so I guess the way I figure it, is that I am not answering my phone with Haircolor on my hands and taking time out of my clients appointment sitting in my chair.
Online appointments only 🙌🏻 game changer. My clients have told me they love it!
Thanks guys I have been using square for years and I’m now making the switch to Vagaro however I’m reluctant to let go of control and allow online booking because I do nails as well and I’m afraid I’ll get big gaps in my schedule. Is everyone on here strictly hair.
I have mine set so I have to approve it. If I need to I will contact the potential client and see how thick their hair is and adjust the time accordingly.

Is there a few to use Gloss Genius?
I pay $20 month. I’m in a Sola studio, and I get a little discount with them because of that. I am not sure of the regular price though?

With online booking- how do you let go and know that clients are booking the correct service/ amount of time?

How much does it cost outside of the free trial?
I think I pay $29/month. It’s worth every penny.
Like $19 a month. Worth every penny!! I love Gloss!
