Who should switch, and who should not
- Switch if your bottleneck is treatment rooms: couples rooms, four-hands massage, rooms that need a reset between rituals.
- Switch if your clients message you on Instagram, Messenger or WhatsApp more than they call.
- GlossGenius may suit you better if you run a hair, nail or lash business and most of your clients phone or text you.
