The lash artist
alternative to GlossGenius.

GlossGenius runs a salon. Lash Create does lashes.
GlossGenius is a polished all in one for beauty pros: hair, nails, brows, skin and lashes all share the same booking, payments and marketing. It is genuinely nice software. The catch for a lash tech is that lashes are not just another appointment. The design, the curl map, the lash health and the fill cycle are the actual work, and a general beauty tool has nowhere to put any of it. So lash artists end up bolting a booking app onto a notes app onto a camera roll, and the set the client agreed on never sits in the same place as the booking.
Lash Create closes that gap. It is built only for lash techs, so the design, the lash aware client record and the rebook live together in one loop. That is why, for a lash artist, it is the GlossGenius alternative that actually fits the craft.
Lash Create vs GlossGenius for lash techs
GlossGenius books appointments and takes payments well, and its branding tools are lovely. The difference is everything a lash tech needs around the booking. Here is how the two line up on the things that actually decide a lash set.
67% of clients prefer to book online. 46–50% book after hours. Salons using online booking see 58% more new clients and 33% more revenue per guest, and structured client records lift 12-month retention by 34%.

There is a price gap too. GlossGenius has no free plan, so you pay a monthly subscription from day one, and it climbs through its tiers, with the higher plans landing well over a hundred dollars a month, plus a card fee on every payment. You are paying suite pricing built to run a whole multi service salon. Lash Create is free to start and its full plan only ever charges you for lash work, so for a solo lash tech or a small lash team the maths tends to sit in your favour.
Fair is fair: if you run a multi service salon doing hair, nails, brows and skin under one roof, GlossGenius earns its keep. This page is for the tech whose craft is lashes.

What a lash artist needs that a general salon tool skips.
We built Lash Create by watching how lash techs actually work: the consultation where the client wants to see the set first, the map and curls that have to match last time, the patch test you cannot skip, and the fill cycle that quietly runs your whole income. GlossGenius is a capable platform, but it was made for every beauty service at once, so none of it was shaped around the way a lash set really comes together, appointment after appointment.
Design & try on, on a real photo
Before a lash tech touches a lash, the look should be agreed. Lash Create lets you design and try the set on the client's own eyes, with 8 styles, 6 curls and full colour, so consultations end in a yes. GlossGenius has no lash design tool, so that whole conversation happens off platform.
A lash aware client record
A lash artist needs more than a name and a phone number. Lash Create holds the design, curls, map, lash health, patch tests and spend on one screen, so every fill stays consistent. A general beauty CRM keeps a generic profile that knows nothing about lashes.
Rebook on the fill cycle
Lash income lives or dies on the rebook. Lash Create fires reminders that follow the fill cycle and reopen the exact set at the next visit, not a one size fits all timer. It is retention built for how lash techs actually keep a book full.
Native on iPad and iPhone
Lash Create is a lash tech app for iPad and iPhone, fast at the bed and in the client's hand. You get the design tool, the booking page and the client record in one native app, instead of a broad web dashboard built to run every service in a salon.
One lash loop GlossGenius cannot copy.
The thing that makes Lash Create win for a lash artist is not a longer feature list. It is that the whole lash job runs as one loop. You design and try the set on a real photo, save it to the client, take the booking on your own page, then the rebook reminder fires on the fill cycle and reopens the exact look at the next visit. Design to booking to record to rebook, in one app built only for lashes.
- Design and try on the set on the client's own eyes
- The design saves to a lash aware client record
- Online booking on your own link, embed it or use the mini site
- Rebook reminders that follow the fill cycle, not a generic timer

What lash techs are really searching for when they look for a GlossGenius alternative.
A GlossGenius alternative for lash techs
As a GlossGenius alternative for lash techs, Lash Create gives you the booking and payments GlossGenius does, plus the lash work it cannot. You design and try on the set, the design saves to the client, and the rebook follows the fill cycle, all in an app that only ever thinks about lashes.
A lash tech app, not a salon suite
If you want a lash tech app rather than a salon suite you adapt, this is it. Keep the online booking, lose the generic beauty database, and gain a client record that holds the design, the curl map and the lash health on one screen.
Lash design GlossGenius does not have
The daily difference is the craft. Lash Create carries on photo lash design and try on, lash mapping and a lash aware record, so a lash artist plans, agrees and repeats a set with confidence, not a generic beauty profile.
Lash booking software for iPad
Run it where you work. As lash booking software for iPad and iPhone, Lash Create is native and fast, with the calendar, the online booking page and the client record all in one app rather than a heavy web dashboard.
Online booking, deposits and gift cards
You get a public booking page on your own link, with deposits, gift cards and prepaid bundles, plus your own exclusive listing in the Lash Create Directory so new clients can find a lash artist near them.
Retention that speaks lashes
GlossGenius can send reminders and collect reviews. Lash Create tunes all of it to lashes: aftercare and reviews fire automatically after each set, referrals and promotions win back quiet clients, and consent forms and patch tests sign on the iPad and save to the lash record, not a generic profile.
Your site, chat, gift cards and bundles
You also get the growth kit: a lash website builder, client chat that keeps messages off your personal number, and gift cards and prepaid bundles that lock in a run of infills with deposits up front, all built around lash work rather than a whole salon.
Free to start, simple to grow
Start free with the design and try on, then move up to booking, CRM and payments on a simple plan with a 14 day trial. See the pricing, then bring your lash clients across at your own pace.
Frequently asked questions
What is the best GlossGenius alternative for lash techs?
For a lash tech, the best GlossGenius alternative is the one built only for lashes. GlossGenius runs every beauty service, so a lash artist adapts a general tool to fit. Lash Create is the opposite: it maps and tries a set on a real photo, saves the design to a lash aware client record, takes online bookings on your own page and tracks payments, all in one app made for lash work.
Is Lash Create better than GlossGenius for lash artists?
For lash artists, yes. GlossGenius is a polished all in one for beauty pros in general, covering hair, nails, brows, skin and lashes with one shared toolkit. Lash Create is built around lash work, so it understands styles, curls, mapping and the fill cycle, and it keeps the design, the client record and the rebook in one place, which a general salon tool was never made to do.
Does Lash Create do online booking and payments like GlossGenius?
It does. You get a public booking page on your own link where clients request appointments any time, with your hours, lead time and deposits under your control, plus card payments, deposits, gift cards and prepaid bundles. If you already have a website you can embed the booking link, and if you do not you get a customisable mini booking site built in.
What can Lash Create do that GlossGenius cannot?
The lash work. Lash Create designs and tries a set on a photo of the client's own eyes, holds a lash aware record with the design, curls, lash health and patch tests, and fires rebook reminders on the fill cycle. GlossGenius has none of that because it is built for every beauty service rather than for lashes.
Is Lash Create cheaper than GlossGenius for a lash tech?
Usually, yes. GlossGenius has no free plan, so you pay a monthly subscription from day one, and the higher tiers climb well over a hundred dollars a month, plus a card fee on every payment. Lash Create is free to start, and the full app with design, booking, CRM and payments runs on one simple plan with a 14 day free trial. Because you are only paying for lash features, not a broad beauty suite built to run a whole salon, for a solo lash tech or a small lash team the maths usually favours Lash Create.
Can I move my clients from GlossGenius to Lash Create?
Yes. You can start free and build your lash client records in Lash Create alongside GlossGenius, then move your booking over once the design and rebook loop is set up. The 14 day trial gives you time to bring clients across before you commit.
