The brand's White Glove service transfers all of your information and client data in just a few days at no charge.

GlossGenius software for beauty pros and salons offers fast, free data transfers so you can switch to the GlossGenius booking and payments experience. Designed to be a smart, sleek-looking app, GlossGenius can help salon businesses attract clients and grow their businesses.
When salon pros make the decision to switch their booking and payments app, they can worry about whether everything will transfer from their current platform to another one. They also might fear that clients won’t like the new platform. According to GlossGenius, transferring does not have to be a manual, timeconsuming, or anxiety-ridden process.
"A few years ago, I was on a call with a prospective member, and she was telling me about all the problems she was having with her salon software," recalls Danielle Cohen-Shohet, CEO of GlossGenius. "She was desperate to switch to GlossGenius but had so much saved data that she felt trapped by her current solution. I couldn't bear the thought of her suffering another week with an inferior salon app and promised to handle transferring all of her data in a matter of days. That's when we came up with our White Glove service."
White Glove service transfers your client information, notes, upcoming appointments, and services—for free and within a couple of days. Cohen-Shohet says that all you have to do is fill in your bio, hours of business, and portfolio, and you’ll have a beautiful, customized booking site in no time.
”Before, I might have had to use two or three apps, all of which I was paying for, and I had to switch back and forth," says Matthew Landis, IMAGE Studios industry expert and owner of Matthew Landis Atelier in Salt Lake City, Utah. "But the first thing I loved about GlossGenius was that they did the setup for me. I went to bed one night and woke up and everything was done. It was just so easy."
GlossGenius has always aimed to leverage technology to develop innovative solutions that help beauty pros and salons thrive. The brand says its White Glove service represents a game changer for helping hair stylists, estheticians, nail techs, and tattoo artists to upgrade to a modern, client-friendly experience. Some of GlossGenius’s newest members are the biggest fans of White Glove service. GlossGenius counts these comments among the raves:
"Amazing customer service!! The White Glove service is absolutely incredible. They do all the work for you. This app truly has everything you could ever need. So excited that I made the switch!"
"Honestly some of the best customer service I've had. Quick and easy to contact. Love that I have a rolling thread of messages and don't have to have a chat box open or update a new person every time I have a question."
"The service I received was greatly appreciated. Timely, great communication, and really helped save me time to focus on other aspects of my business. I’m having a great start as a new GlossGenius member. Thank you!"
With the holiday season around the corner and 2022 set to be a big year, this is a great time to evaluate your satisfaction with your current booking and payments platform. You may be the next one to try the GlossGenius White Glove service.
