The fine print

Where GlossGenius falls short

GlossGenius is genuinely good — beautiful, beauty-first, 0% on Gold. But two things send salons looking.

US-only

GlossGenius doesn't operate outside the US, so salons in Europe, the UK, the Gulf and beyond can't use it at all.

Boona is beauty-first and available worldwide, in 20+ languages.

$10 per provider adds up

Each extra provider is +$10/month, so a team plan climbs quickly.

Boona is $1 per staff — a fraction at any team size.

Your clients stay yours

You want to keep control of your client list and data.

Boona isn't a marketplace: clients and data stay yours, 0% commission.

Switching is easy

GlossGenius even offers free data transfer — so moving your data is painless either way.

Boona imports your clients, history and services for you — free.
