GlowForms customer reviews

Feedback from professionals using digital forms in beauty and wellness businesses.

Vanessa M.Wolfpine Tattoo Co · Charlotte, NC

I've tried at least three other client intake platforms before landing on GlowForms for Wolfpine Tattoo Co, and honestly, I wish I'd found this one first. What sold me was how thorough the pre-built templates were for our industry. I didn't have to write a single waiver from scratch — I just customized the existing ones with our logo and a few questions specific to Wolfpine Tattoo Co. The pricing tiers make sense for a business our size. We're on the mid-tier plan and haven't felt like we're missing features that should be standard. Customer support has been consistently responsive. I've reached out a handful of times with formatting questions, and I usually hear back within a few hours, sometimes faster. If you're on the fence about switching from paper to digital forms, this is the platform I'd point you toward. It's been worth every bit of the adjustment period.
Felipe F.Serenglen Spa & Sanctuary · San Francisco, CA

I want to preface this by saying I'm not usually someone who leaves reviews, but our experience with GlowForms over the past 15 months has genuinely changed how we run Serenglen Spa & Sanctuary. The intake and consent forms are the real standout for us. We built out custom health history questionnaires specific to our services, and clients can fill them out on their phones before they even walk through the door. We migrated almost 4 years of paper records into the system during a slow week in January, and while tedious, it was worth it. Everything is finally in one searchable place. I appreciated that we weren't locked into a rigid template. We rearranged sections, added our own consent language reviewed by our attorney, and adjusted the wording to match our brand voice. Clients can complete everything from their phone in the parking lot before their appointment, which has been a huge time-saver, especially for first-time visitors who tend to arrive right at their appointment time. The onboarding specialist actually walked us through setting up our first ten forms on a screen-share call, which made the whole transition feel much less overwhelming. Highlights so far: - E-signatures that are legally sound and time-stamped automatically - Searchable client history instead of a filing cabinet full of paper - Patch-test and allergy tracking that flags issues before the appointment starts Where it could improve: - Archived forms take a couple extra clicks to locate - Occasional lag syncing with our third-party booking software - A short learning curve for staff less comfortable with tablets Bottom line: If you're on the fence about switching from paper to digital forms, this is the platform I'd point you toward. It's been worth every bit of the adjustment period.
Samantha F.Rosewood Nail Studio · Providence, RI

We started using GlowForms about 12 months ago at our rosewood nail studio after one too many misplaced consent forms nearly turned into a real liability headache for us. We added a specific patch-test consent step for new clients, and it's cut down on the follow-up phone calls we used to have to make the day before an appointment. What sold me was how thorough the pre-built templates were for our industry. I didn't have to write a single waiver from scratch — I just customized the existing ones with our logo and a few questions specific to Rosewood Nail Studio. I do wish there were a couple more template categories specific to our niche, though the customization tools made it easy enough to build what we needed from scratch.
John N.Birchwood Salon Co · Providence, RI

I signed up for the free trial expecting to be disappointed, if I'm being honest. I've been burned by software promises before, so my expectations were low. Customer support has been consistently responsive. I've reached out a handful of times with formatting questions, and I usually hear back within a few hours, sometimes faster. I'll admit their support response time was a little slower than I expected during our first week, but once we got past onboarding, every question I've had since has been answered quickly and thoroughly. I don't write reviews often, but our experience has been positive enough that I wanted other small business owners in hair salon to know it's worth trying.
Ashley B.Clean Slate Hair Removal Co · San Diego, CA

Our front desk used to spend the first ten minutes of every single appointment just handing out clipboards and chasing down signatures, which was eating into our actual service time. The e-signature feature works flawlessly. Clients sign on their own device, and it's timestamped and stored automatically, so we're never scrambling to prove a waiver was signed. The time savings alone justify the cost. I'd estimate we're saving close to two hours a week just from not manually filing and re-filing paper forms. I appreciated that we weren't locked into a rigid template. We rearranged sections, added our own consent language reviewed by our attorney, and adjusted the wording to match our brand voice. We handed an iPad to our newest hire on her first day, and she was collecting client signatures within the hour without any real training. I'll admit their support response time was a little slower than I expected during our first week, but once we got past onboarding, every question I've had since has been answered quickly and thoroughly. Highlights so far: - Multi-location syncing that keeps every technician's files up to date - Searchable client history instead of a filing cabinet full of paper - E-signatures that are legally sound and time-stamped automatically What I'd change: - The reporting dashboard could be more detailed - Occasional lag syncing with our third-party booking software - No weekend phone support, only email Bottom line: All in all, I'd absolutely recommend GlowForms to any beauty or wellness business still relying on paper. It's made our front desk more efficient and our records far more reliable.
Amanda D.Ember Thread Threading Bar · Dallas, TX

We've been in business for 1 years, and this is the first piece of software that every single one of our 5 staff members has actually liked using. We added a specific patch-test consent step for new clients, and it's cut down on the follow-up phone calls we used to have to make the day before an appointment. Having every client's history searchable in seconds instead of digging through a filing cabinet has changed how we operate day to day. It sounds small, but it adds up over hundreds of appointments a month. Being able to fully brand the forms with our logo, colors, and a welcome message has made the client experience feel more polished. A few clients at Ember Thread Threading Bar have actually commented on how professional it looks. I was worried the mobile version would feel like an afterthought, but it's actually just as functional as the desktop version. Our older clients have had no trouble navigating it either, which honestly surprised me. When we had an issue syncing forms across our two locations, their support team hopped on a call with me directly instead of just sending a canned email response. That kind of service is rare these days. What we love: - Custom consent forms built specifically for our service menu - Branded templates that match Ember Thread Threading Bar's look and feel - Multi-location syncing that keeps every technician's files up to date Minor drawbacks: - Occasional lag syncing with our third-party booking software - The reporting dashboard could be more detailed
Marcus C.Sterling Cosmetology Studio · Charlotte, NC

My business partner found GlowForms after searching for something to replace our clunky spreadsheet-and-Google-Forms setup at Sterling Cosmetology Studio, and I'm genuinely glad she did. We use the photo consent forms for before-and-after pictures constantly, and having that built directly into the client's file instead of a separate paper form has saved us from at least one awkward situation. We're a small operation, and I was worried a platform like this would be overkill, but it's scaled with us nicely as Sterling Cosmetology Studio has grown.
AnonymousVantage Cosmetology Studio · Tucson, AZ

We started using GlowForms about 18 months ago at our vantage cosmetology studio after one too many misplaced consent forms nearly turned into a real liability headache for us. The health history section lets us flag contraindications automatically, which our technicians have come to rely on before every session. Automated reminders before appointments have cut our no-show rate noticeably. Clients get a text the day before with a link to finish any outstanding forms, and it's made a real difference. Every form we send out now looks like it came from Vantage Cosmetology Studio, not from a generic third-party tool, which matters more than I expected for a small business trying to look established. I was worried the mobile version would feel like an afterthought, but it's actually just as functional as the desktop version. Our older clients have had no trouble navigating it either, which honestly surprised me. Customer support has been consistently responsive. I've reached out a handful of times with formatting questions, and I usually hear back within a few hours, sometimes faster. What we love: - Patch-test and allergy tracking that flags issues before the appointment starts - Mobile-friendly forms clients can complete before they even arrive - Automated appointment reminders that link directly to outstanding forms - Multi-location syncing that keeps every technician's files up to date Minor drawbacks: - No weekend phone support, only email - Archived forms take a couple extra clicks to locate - Occasional lag syncing with our third-party booking software Bottom line: If you're on the fence about switching from paper to digital forms, this is the platform I'd point you toward. It's been worth every bit of the adjustment period.
Victor K.Featherlash Lash Collective · Washington, DC

After a client complained that her allergy information wasn't on file (it was buried in a filing cabinet, not lost — just impossible to find quickly), I knew we needed a real system for Featherlash Lash Collective. Every new client at Featherlash Lash Collective fills out their intake form remotely before their first visit now, which means we're not losing five to ten minutes of appointment time to paperwork anymore. We migrated almost 7 years of paper records into the system during a slow week in January, and while tedious, it was worth it. Everything is finally in one searchable place. Every form we send out now looks like it came from Featherlash Lash Collective, not from a generic third-party tool, which matters more than I expected for a small business trying to look established. The mobile experience is genuinely good, which I can't say for most software aimed at small businesses. My staff pull up forms on an iPad at the front desk without any lag or weird formatting issues. I'll admit their support response time was a little slower than I expected during our first week, but once we got past onboarding, every question I've had since has been answered quickly and thoroughly. Things that stood out: - Branded templates that match Featherlash Lash Collective's look and feel - A support team that actually picks up the phone - Multi-location syncing that keeps every technician's files up to date - Patch-test and allergy tracking that flags issues before the appointment starts - Custom consent forms built specifically for our service menu We looked at two competitors before settling on GlowForms, and the value here — especially for a team of 6 — was simply better.
Wei G.Brow Alchemy Brow Studio · Columbus, OH

I've owned my brow alchemy brow studio in Columbus for 6 years now, and until we found GlowForms, our client intake process was honestly a mess — clipboards, lost paperwork, and clients rushing through forms while sitting in the waiting area. The health history section lets us flag contraindications automatically, which our technicians have come to rely on before every session. Automated reminders before appointments have cut our no-show rate noticeably. Clients get a text the day before with a link to finish any outstanding forms, and it's made a real difference.

The good stuff: - Photo/video consent built directly into the client file - E-signatures that are legally sound and time-stamped automatically - Custom consent forms built specifically for our service menu Minor drawbacks: - The reporting dashboard could be more detailed - A few template categories we had to build ourselves Bottom line: I don't write reviews often, but our experience has been positive enough that I wanted other small business owners in eyebrow salon to know it's worth trying.
Lauren W.Satinwood Waxing Lounge · Raleigh, NC

Before GlowForms, we were using a mix of printed waivers and a generic online form builder that clearly wasn't designed with businesses like ours in mind. We looked at two competitors before settling on GlowForms, and the value here — especially for a team of 3 — was simply better. The pricing tiers make sense for a business our size. We're on the mid-tier plan and haven't felt like we're missing features that should be standard. If you're on the fence about switching from paper to digital forms, this is the platform I'd point you toward. It's been worth every bit of the adjustment period.
Renee J.Nazar Threading Bar · Nashville, TN

I want to preface this by saying I'm not usually someone who leaves reviews, but our experience with GlowForms over the past 3 months has genuinely changed how we run Nazar Threading Bar. The pricing tiers make sense for a business our size. We're on the mid-tier plan and haven't felt like we're missing features that should be standard. We added a specific patch-test consent step for new clients, and it's cut down on the follow-up phone calls we used to have to make the day before an appointment.

James C.Featherlight Hair Removal Co · Columbus, OH

I've owned my featherlight hair removal co in Columbus for 10 years now, and until we found GlowForms, our client intake process was honestly a mess — clipboards, lost paperwork, and clients rushing through forms while sitting in the waiting area. We added a specific patch-test consent step for new clients, and it's cut down on the follow-up phone calls we used to have to make the day before an appointment. We looked at two competitors before settling on GlowForms, and the value here — especially for a team of 4 — was simply better. Automated reminders before appointments have cut our no-show rate noticeably. Clients get a text the day before with a link to finish any outstanding forms, and it's made a real difference. We're a small operation, and I was worried a platform like this would be overkill, but it's scaled with us nicely as Featherlight Hair Removal Co has grown.
AnonymousBlack Anchor Tattoo Collective · Tucson, AZ

I run Black Anchor Tattoo Collective out of Tucson, and paperwork was always the part of the job nobody wanted to deal with — until we brought in GlowForms. The e-signature feature works flawlessly. Clients sign on their own device, and it's timestamped and stored automatically, so we're never scrambling to prove a waiver was signed. Our cancellation rate dropped noticeably once clients started getting automatic reminders with their forms attached — turns out half our no-shows were people who just forgot. Being able to fully brand the forms with our logo, colors, and a welcome message has made the client experience feel more polished. A few clients at Black Anchor Tattoo Collective have actually commented on how professional it looks. I was worried the mobile version would feel like an afterthought, but it's actually just as functional as the desktop version. Our older clients have had no trouble navigating it either, which honestly surprised me.

Things that stood out: - Custom consent forms built specifically for our service menu - Photo/video consent built directly into the client file - E-signatures that are legally sound and time-stamped automatically - Branded templates that match Black Anchor Tattoo Collective's look and feel A few bumps along the way: - A small price increase after the first year that wasn't clearly flagged in advance - A few template categories we had to build ourselves - The reporting dashboard could be more detailed
Jessica M.Midnight Lash Studio · San Francisco, CA

I run Midnight Lash Studio out of San Francisco, and paperwork was always the part of the job nobody wanted to deal with — until we brought in GlowForms. Clients can complete everything from their phone in the parking lot before their appointment, which has been a huge time-saver, especially for first-time visitors who tend to arrive right at their appointment time. For the price, I genuinely think this is one of the better investments we've made in Midnight Lash Studio this year, right up there with our appointment scheduling software. I appreciated that we weren't locked into a rigid template. We rearranged sections, added our own consent language reviewed by our attorney, and adjusted the wording to match our brand voice. Would I recommend it to a fellow owner? Without hesitation. It's one of the few pieces of software in my business that actually does what it promised.
Diego R.Honeycomb Waxing Studio · Boise, ID

When I opened Honeycomb Waxing Studio last year, digital intake forms weren't even on my radar until a colleague mentioned GlowForms at an industry trade show. I appreciated that we weren't locked into a rigid template. We rearranged sections, added our own consent language reviewed by our attorney, and adjusted the wording to match our brand voice. We looked at two competitors before settling on GlowForms, and the value here — especially for a team of 3 — was simply better.

Automated reminders before appointments have cut our no-show rate noticeably. Clients get a text the day before with a link to finish any outstanding forms, and it's made a real difference. It's not the cheapest option on the market, but compared to the hours we were losing to paperwork and the risk of missing liability information, it pays for itself quickly.

The e-signature feature works flawlessly. Clients sign on their own device, and it's timestamped and stored automatically, so we're never scrambling to prove a waiver was signed. Being able to collect allergy information, medication history, and sensitivity notes all in one digital form has genuinely reduced our risk. No more squinting at someone's handwriting to figure out if they're allergic to something. Would I recommend it to a fellow owner? Without hesitation. It's one of the few pieces of software in my business that actually does what it promised.

Melissa A.Wolfpine Ink Studio · Las Vegas, NV

As the owner of a small tattoo & piercing here in Las Vegas, I was skeptical about switching from paper to digital forms. A lot of my regulars aren't exactly tech-savvy, so I worried this would just create more confusion. We looked at two competitors before settling on GlowForms, and the value here — especially for a team of 11 — was simply better. We migrated almost 8 years of paper records into the system during a slow week in January, and while tedious, it was worth it. Everything is finally in one searchable place. All in all, I'd absolutely recommend GlowForms to any beauty or wellness business still relying on paper. It's made our front desk more efficient and our records far more reliable.

Kayla P.Rosewood Nail Atelier · San Antonio, TX

I run a team of 3 at Rosewood Nail Atelier, and keeping every technician's paperwork consistent used to feel nearly impossible. The e-signature feature works flawlessly. Clients sign on their own device, and it's timestamped and stored automatically, so we're never scrambling to prove a waiver was signed. We migrated almost 2 years of paper records into the system during a slow week in January, and while tedious, it was worth it. Everything is finally in one searchable place. I appreciated that we weren't locked into a rigid template. We rearranged sections, added our own consent language reviewed by our attorney, and adjusted the wording to match our brand voice. Clients can complete everything from their phone in the parking lot before their appointment, which has been a huge time-saver, especially for first-time visitors who tend to arrive right at their appointment time. We emailed support at 9pm on a weeknight about a form that wasn't saving properly, and someone actually replied before we opened the next morning. Things that stood out: - Custom consent forms built specifically for our service menu - The ability to update a form for every client at once when our policies changed - Searchable client history instead of a filing cabinet full of paper Where it could improve: - Archived forms take a couple extra clicks to locate - A short learning curve for staff less comfortable with tablets - Occasional lag syncing with our third-party booking software

The onboarding specialist actually walked us through setting up our first ten forms on a screen-share call, which made the whole transition feel much less overwhelming. The mobile app could use a slightly more intuitive navigation menu — it took me longer than I'd like to find where archived forms were stored the first time.

Lauren S.Velour Lash Lounge · Chicago, IL

My front desk manager was the one who pushed me to finally try a digital forms platform. I'm not exactly a tech person myself, so I dragged my feet for a while before agreeing. The mobile experience is genuinely good, which I can't say for most software aimed at small businesses. My staff pull up forms on an iPad at the front desk without any lag or weird formatting issues. The only downside I've run into is that phone support isn't available on weekends, which is exactly when small issues tend to pop up for us.

The intake and consent forms are the real standout for us. We built out custom health history questionnaires specific to our services, and clients can fill them out on their phones before they even walk through the door. I don't write reviews often, but our experience has been positive enough that I wanted other small business owners in nail salon to know it's worth trying.

I run Bright Bare Hair Removal Co out of Tampa, and paperwork was always the part of the job nobody wanted to deal with — until we brought in GlowForms. The customization options go deeper than I expected. We added conditional questions that only show up depending on the service booked, which cut down on irrelevant questions for our simpler services. For the price, I genuinely think this is one of the better investments we've made in Bright Bare Hair Removal Co this year, right up there with our appointment scheduling software. We're a small operation, and I was worried a platform like this would be overkill, but it's scaled with us nicely as Bright Bare Hair Removal Co has grown.
Tyler K.Brow Alchemy Brow Atelier · Austin, TX

Our front desk used to spend the first ten minutes of every single appointment just handing out clipboards and chasing down signatures, which was eating into our actual service time. Customer support has been consistently responsive. I've reached out a handful of times with formatting questions, and I usually hear back within a few hours, sometimes faster. I appreciated that we weren't locked into a rigid template. We rearranged sections, added our own consent language reviewed by our attorney, and adjusted the wording to match our brand voice. I was worried the mobile version would feel like an afterthought, but it's actually just as functional as the desktop version. Our older clients have had no trouble navigating it either, which honestly surprised me. 17 months in, we haven't looked back. It's become as essential to our daily operations as our booking calendar.
Natalie V.Midnight Lash Atelier · Charlotte, NC

I've tried at least three other client intake platforms before landing on GlowForms for Midnight Lash Atelier, and honestly, I wish I'd found this one first. Every new client at Midnight Lash Atelier fills out their intake form remotely before their first visit now, which means we're not losing five to ten minutes of appointment time to paperwork anymore. The pricing tiers make sense for a business our size. We're on the mid-tier plan and haven't felt like we're missing features that should be standard. I was worried the mobile version would feel like an afterthought, but it's actually just as functional as the desktop version. Our older clients have had no trouble navigating it either, which honestly surprised me. Would I recommend it to a fellow owner? Without hesitation. It's one of the few pieces of software in my business that actually does what it promised.
Sarah B.Dune Brow Atelier · Boston, MA

I run a team of 8 at Dune Brow Atelier, and keeping every technician's paperwork consistent used to feel nearly impossible. Being able to fully brand the forms with our logo, colors, and a welcome message has made the client experience feel more polished. A few clients at Dune Brow Atelier have actually commented on how professional it looks. 18 months in, we haven't looked back. It's become as essential to our daily operations as our booking calendar.
Christopher B.Midnight Lash Lounge · Boise, ID

My front desk manager was the one who pushed me to finally try a digital forms platform. I'm not exactly a tech person myself, so I dragged my feet for a while before agreeing. I appreciated that we weren't locked into a rigid template. We rearranged sections, added our own consent language reviewed by our attorney, and adjusted the wording to match our brand voice. I don't write reviews often, but our experience has been positive enough that I wanted other small business owners in lash extensions to know it's worth trying.
Hannah K.Velvet Nails & Co · Tucson, AZ

Our front desk used to spend the first ten minutes of every single appointment just handing out clipboards and chasing down signatures, which was eating into our actual service time. The health history section lets us flag contraindications automatically, which our technicians have come to rely on before every session. Our cancellation rate dropped noticeably once clients started getting automatic reminders with their forms attached — turns out half our no-shows were people who just forgot. If you're on the fence about switching from paper to digital forms, this is the platform I'd point you toward. It's been worth every bit of the adjustment period.
Kimberly L.Tidepool Day Spa · Columbus, OH

When I opened Tidepool Day Spa last year, digital intake forms weren't even on my radar until a colleague mentioned GlowForms at an industry trade show. We use the photo consent forms for before-and-after pictures constantly, and having that built directly into the client's file instead of a separate paper form has saved us from at least one awkward situation. Every form we send out now looks like it came from Tidepool Day Spa, not from a generic third-party tool, which matters more than I expected for a small business trying to look established. Pricing went up slightly after our first year, which wasn't a dealbreaker but did catch me off guard since I wasn't expecting it.
Danielle F.Pure Glow Skin Bar · Portland, OR

We started using GlowForms about 3 months ago at our pure glow skin bar after one too many misplaced consent forms nearly turned into a real liability headache for us. Automated reminders before appointments have cut our no-show rate noticeably. Clients get a text the day before with a link to finish any outstanding forms, and it's made a real difference. We looked at two competitors before settling on GlowForms, and the value here — especially for a team of 11 — was simply better. Would I recommend it to a fellow owner? Without hesitation. It's one of the few pieces of software in my business that actually does what it promised.
Lauren K.Hearthside Spa & Sanctuary · Boise, ID

We've been in business for 2 years, and this is the first piece of software that every single one of our 6 staff members has actually liked using. When we had an issue syncing forms across our two locations, their support team hopped on a call with me directly instead of just sending a canned email response. That kind of service is rare these days. I don't write reviews often, but our experience has been positive enough that I wanted other small business owners in day spa to know it's worth trying.
Brian B.Silkwing Lash Atelier · Los Angeles, CA

Our front desk used to spend the first ten minutes of every single appointment just handing out clipboards and chasing down signatures, which was eating into our actual service time. Being able to collect allergy information, medication history, and sensitivity notes all in one digital form has genuinely reduced our risk. No more squinting at someone's handwriting to figure out if they're allergic to something. Having every client's history searchable in seconds instead of digging through a filing cabinet has changed how we operate day to day. It sounds small, but it adds up over hundreds of appointments a month. I appreciated that we weren't locked into a rigid template. We rearranged sections, added our own consent language reviewed by our attorney, and adjusted the wording to match our brand voice. I was worried the mobile version would feel like an afterthought, but it's actually just as functional as the desktop version. Our older clients have had no trouble navigating it either, which honestly surprised me. We emailed support at 9pm on a weeknight about a form that wasn't saving properly, and someone actually replied before we opened the next morning. The good stuff: - Mobile-friendly forms clients can complete before they even arrive - Custom consent forms built specifically for our service menu - Photo/video consent built directly into the client file - Multi-location syncing that keeps every technician's files up to date - Branded templates that match Silkwing Lash Atelier's look and feel For the price, I genuinely think this is one of the better investments we've made in Silkwing Lash Atelier this year, right up there with our appointment scheduling software.
Quinn K.Cinder Salon Co · Seattle, WA

I signed up for the free trial expecting to be disappointed, if I'm being honest. I've been burned by software promises before, so my expectations were low. The e-signature feature works flawlessly. Clients sign on their own device, and it's timestamped and stored automatically, so we're never scrambling to prove a waiver was signed. We looked at two competitors before settling on GlowForms, and the value here — especially for a team of 8 — was simply better. 20 months in, we haven't looked back. It's become as essential to our daily operations as our booking calendar.
Diego H.Tidepool Spa Retreat · Boston, MA

I signed up for the free trial expecting to be disappointed, if I'm being honest. I've been burned by software promises before, so my expectations were low. The pricing tiers make sense for a business our size. We're on the mid-tier plan and haven't felt like we're missing features that should be standard. The onboarding specialist actually walked us through setting up our first ten forms on a screen-share call, which made the whole transition feel much less overwhelming. I'll admit their support response time was a little slower than I expected during our first week, but once we got past onboarding, every question I've had since has been answered quickly and thoroughly. We're a small operation, and I was worried a platform like this would be overkill, but it's scaled with us nicely as Tidepool Spa Retreat has grown.
Amanda G.Vantage Beauty Bar · Boise, ID

I want to preface this by saying I'm not usually someone who leaves reviews, but our experience with GlowForms over the past 14 months has genuinely changed how we run Vantage Beauty Bar. Being able to fully brand the forms with our logo, colors, and a welcome message has made the client experience feel more polished. A few clients at Vantage Beauty Bar have actually commented on how professional it looks. I'll admit their support response time was a little slower than I expected during our first week, but once we got past onboarding, every question I've had since has been answered quickly and thoroughly.

James K.Grandview Beauty Academy Salon · Dallas, TX

My front desk manager was the one who pushed me to finally try a digital forms platform. I'm not exactly a tech person myself, so I dragged my feet for a while before agreeing. The pricing tiers make sense for a business our size. We're on the mid-tier plan and haven't felt like we're missing features that should be standard. Setting up the more advanced conditional logic questions took some trial and error on my part, and a short video tutorial for that specific feature would have helped.
Nicole Q.Terracotta Permanent Cosmetics · Atlanta, GA

I've owned my terracotta permanent cosmetics in Atlanta for 10 years now, and until we found GlowForms, our client intake process was honestly a mess — clipboards, lost paperwork, and clients rushing through forms while sitting in the waiting area. Setting up the more advanced conditional logic questions took some trial and error on my part, and a short video tutorial for that specific feature would have helped.
Tiffany L.Copperline Tattoo Collective · Seattle, WA

I want to preface this by saying I'm not usually someone who leaves reviews, but our experience with GlowForms over the past 14 months has genuinely changed how we run Copperline Tattoo Collective. We handed an iPad to our newest hire on her first day, and she was collecting client signatures within the hour without any real training. The mobile app could use a slightly more intuitive navigation menu — it took me longer than I'd like to find where archived forms were stored the first time.
Nicole H.Copper Hair Studio · Tucson, AZ

I want to preface this by saying I'm not usually someone who leaves reviews, but our experience with GlowForms over the past 14 months has genuinely changed how we run Copper Hair Studio. We migrated almost 10 years of paper records into the system during a slow week in January, and while tedious, it was worth it. Everything is finally in one searchable place. The customization options go deeper than I expected. We added conditional questions that only show up depending on the service booked, which cut down on irrelevant questions for our simpler services. Automated reminders before appointments have cut our no-show rate noticeably. Clients get a text the day before with a link to finish any outstanding forms, and it's made a real difference. I don't write reviews often, but our experience has been positive enough that I wanted other small business owners in hair salon to know it's worth trying.

If you're on the fence about switching from paper to digital forms, this is the platform I'd point you toward. It's been worth every bit of the adjustment period.
Amanda L.Lacquer Nail Atelier · Seattle, WA

After a client complained that her allergy information wasn't on file (it was buried in a filing cabinet, not lost — just impossible to find quickly), I knew we needed a real system for Lacquer Nail Atelier. We migrated almost 4 years of paper records into the system during a slow week in January, and while tedious, it was worth it. Everything is finally in one searchable place. I was worried the mobile version would feel like an afterthought, but it's actually just as functional as the desktop version. Our older clients have had no trouble navigating it either, which honestly surprised me. We looked at two competitors before settling on GlowForms, and the value here — especially for a team of 3 — was simply better. Would I recommend it to a fellow owner? Without hesitation. It's one of the few pieces of software in my business that actually does what it promised.
AnonymousVelour Lash Collective · Chicago, IL

My front desk manager was the one who pushed me to finally try a digital forms platform. I'm not exactly a tech person myself, so I dragged my feet for a while before agreeing. I appreciated that we weren't locked into a rigid template. We rearranged sections, added our own consent language reviewed by our attorney, and adjusted the wording to match our brand voice. What sold me was how thorough the pre-built templates were for our industry. I didn't have to write a single waiver from scratch — I just customized the existing ones with our logo and a few questions specific to Velour Lash Collective. We migrated almost 5 years of paper records into the system during a slow week in January, and while tedious, it was worth it. Everything is finally in one searchable place. Pricing went up slightly after our first year, which wasn't a dealbreaker but did catch me off guard since I wasn't expecting it.
Jessica E.Dew Lash Lounge · Sacramento, CA

Our front desk used to spend the first ten minutes of every single appointment just handing out clipboards and chasing down signatures, which was eating into our actual service time. We added a specific patch-test consent step for new clients, and it's cut down on the follow-up phone calls we used to have to make the day before an appointment. The time savings alone justify the cost. I'd estimate we're saving close to two hours a week just from not manually filing and re-filing paper forms. Being able to fully brand the forms with our logo, colors, and a welcome message has made the client experience feel more polished. A few clients at Dew Lash Lounge have actually commented on how professional it looks. We handed an iPad to our newest hire on her first day, and she was collecting client signatures within the hour without any real training. We emailed support at 9pm on a weeknight about a form that wasn't saving properly, and someone actually replied before we opened the next morning. Highlights so far: - Photo/video consent built directly into the client file - Branded templates that match Dew Lash Lounge's look and feel - E-signatures that are legally sound and time-stamped automatically - Multi-location syncing that keeps every technician's files up to date What I'd change: - A small price increase after the first year that wasn't clearly flagged in advance - Archived forms take a couple extra clicks to locate
Tiffany A.Meridian Brow Threading Bar · Providence, RI

When I opened Meridian Brow Threading Bar last year, digital intake forms weren't even on my radar until a colleague mentioned GlowForms at an industry trade show. The mobile experience is genuinely good, which I can't say for most software aimed at small businesses. My staff pull up forms on an iPad at the front desk without any lag or weird formatting issues. Automated reminders before appointments have cut our no-show rate noticeably. Clients get a text the day before with a link to finish any outstanding forms, and it's made a real difference. Would I recommend it to a fellow owner? Without hesitation. It's one of the few pieces of software in my business that actually does what it promised.

Hannah S.Featherlash Lash Atelier · Charlotte, NC

We started using GlowForms about 3 months ago at our featherlash lash atelier after one too many misplaced consent forms nearly turned into a real liability headache for us. It's not the cheapest option on the market, but compared to the hours we were losing to paperwork and the risk of missing liability information, it pays for itself quickly. All in all, I'd absolutely recommend GlowForms to any beauty or wellness business still relying on paper. It's made our front desk more efficient and our records far more reliable.
Hannah B.Terracotta Brow Studio · Columbus, OH

We started using GlowForms about 19 months ago at our terracotta brow studio after one too many misplaced consent forms nearly turned into a real liability headache for us. The customization options go deeper than I expected. We added conditional questions that only show up depending on the service booked, which cut down on irrelevant questions for our simpler services.

Robert P.Clean Thread Threading Studio · San Antonio, TX

As the owner of a small threading here in San Antonio, I was skeptical about switching from paper to digital forms. A lot of my regulars aren't exactly tech-savvy, so I worried this would just create more confusion. Every form we send out now looks like it came from Clean Thread Threading Studio, not from a generic third-party tool, which matters more than I expected for a small business trying to look established. We migrated almost 7 years of paper records into the system during a slow week in January, and while tedious, it was worth it. Everything is finally in one searchable place. Being able to fully brand the forms with our logo, colors, and a welcome message has made the client experience feel more polished. A few clients at Clean Thread Threading Studio have actually commented on how professional it looks.

What we love: - Searchable client history instead of a filing cabinet full of paper - Mobile-friendly forms clients can complete before they even arrive - The ability to update a form for every client at once when our policies changed - Multi-location syncing that keeps every technician's files up to date Where it could improve: - A small price increase after the first year that wasn't clearly flagged in advance - A short learning curve for staff less comfortable with tablets - A few template categories we had to build ourselves Bottom line: All in all, I'd absolutely recommend GlowForms to any beauty or wellness business still relying on paper.

Courtney M.Bare Root Waxing Studio · Raleigh, NC

Before GlowForms, we were using a mix of printed waivers and a generic online form builder that clearly wasn't designed with businesses like ours in mind. Clients can complete everything from their phone in the parking lot before their appointment, which has been a huge time-saver, especially for first-time visitors who tend to arrive right at their appointment time. Every form we send out now looks like it came from Bare Root Waxing Studio, not from a generic third-party tool, which matters more than I expected for a small business trying to look established.

We started using GlowForms about 10 months ago at our sterling beauty bar after one too many misplaced consent forms nearly turned into a real liability headache for us. We emailed support at 9pm on a weeknight about a form that wasn't saving properly, and someone actually replied before we opened the next morning. The onboarding specialist actually walked us through setting up our first ten forms on a screen-share call, which made the whole transition feel much less overwhelming. I don't write reviews often, but our experience has been positive enough that I wanted other small business owners in cosmetology to know it's worth trying.
Kimberly D.Featherline Brow Bar · Nashville, TN

Our front desk used to spend the first ten minutes of every single appointment just handing out clipboards and chasing down signatures, which was eating into our actual service time. I'll admit their support response time was a little slower than I expected during our first week, but once we got past onboarding, every question I've had since has been answered quickly and thoroughly. We're a small operation, and I was worried a platform like this would be overkill, but it's scaled with us nicely as Featherline Brow Bar has grown.
Renee G.Larkspur Hair Lounge · Chicago, IL

My business partner found GlowForms after searching for something to replace our clunky spreadsheet-and-Google-Forms setup at Larkspur Hair Lounge, and I'm genuinely glad she did. The intake and consent forms are the real standout for us. We built out custom health history questionnaires specific to our services, and clients can fill them out on their phones before they even walk through the door. We migrated almost 8 years of paper records into the system during a slow week in January, and while tedious, it was worth it. Everything is finally in one searchable place. The customization options go deeper than I expected. We added conditional questions that only show up depending on the service booked, which cut down on irrelevant questions for our simpler services. We handed an iPad to our newest hire on her first day, and she was collecting client signatures within the hour without any real training. I'll admit their support response time was a little slower than I expected during our first week, but once we got past onboarding, every question I've had since has been answered quickly and thoroughly. What we love: - Mobile-friendly forms clients can complete before they even arrive - Branded templates that match Larkspur Hair Lounge's look and feel - Multi-location syncing that keeps every technician's files up to date For the price, I genuinely think this is one of the better investments we've made in Larkspur Hair Lounge this year, right up there with our appointment scheduling software. Bottom line: 7 months in, we haven't looked back. It's become as essential to our daily operations as our booking calendar.
Derek B.Dune Brow Studio · Atlanta, GA

I signed up for the free trial expecting to be disappointed, if I'm being honest. I've been burned by software promises before, so my expectations were low. The health history section lets us flag contraindications automatically, which our technicians have come to rely on before every session. Having every client's history searchable in seconds instead of digging through a filing cabinet has changed how we operate day to day. It sounds small, but it adds up over hundreds of appointments a month. I appreciated that we weren't locked into a rigid template. We rearranged sections, added our own consent language reviewed by our attorney, and adjusted the wording to match our brand voice. I was worried the mobile version would feel like an afterthought, but it's actually just as functional as the desktop version. Our older clients have had no trouble navigating it either, which honestly surprised me. I'll admit their support response time was a little slower than I expected during our first week, but once we got past onboarding, every question I've had since has been answered quickly and thoroughly. Things that stood out: - Patch-test and allergy tracking that flags issues before the appointment starts - Searchable client history instead of a filing cabinet full of paper - A support team that actually picks up the phone - Branded templates that match Dune Brow Studio's look and feel - Mobile-friendly forms clients can complete before they even arrive A few bumps along the way: - No weekend phone support, only email - A short learning curve for staff less comfortable with tablets - Archived forms take a couple extra clicks to locate Bottom line: If you're on the fence about switching from paper to digital forms, this is the platform I'd point you toward. It's been worth every bit of the adjustment period.
Alicia W.Aurora Skin Studio · San Francisco, CA

My business partner found GlowForms after searching for something to replace our clunky spreadsheet-and-Google-Forms setup at Aurora Skin Studio, and I'm genuinely glad she did. The onboarding specialist actually walked us through setting up our first ten forms on a screen-share call, which made the whole transition feel much less overwhelming. I appreciated that we weren't locked into a rigid template. We rearranged sections, added our own consent language reviewed by our attorney, and adjusted the wording to match our brand voice. The e-signature feature works flawlessly. Clients sign on their own device, and it's timestamped and stored automatically, so we're never scrambling to prove a waiver was signed. I don't write reviews often, but our experience has been positive enough that I wanted other small business owners in esthetics to know it's worth trying.
Olivia W.Silhouette Waxing Bar · Portland, OR

When I opened Silhouette Waxing Bar last year, digital intake forms weren't even on my radar until a colleague mentioned GlowForms at an industry trade show. Every form we send out now looks like it came from Silhouette Waxing Bar, not from a generic third-party tool, which matters more than I expected for a small business trying to look established. For the price, I genuinely think this is one of the better investments we've made in Silhouette Waxing Bar this year, right up there with our appointment scheduling software. Being able to fully brand the forms with our logo, colors, and a welcome message has made the client experience feel more polished. A few clients at Silhouette Waxing Bar have actually commented on how professional it looks. 13 months in, we haven't looked back. It's become as essential to our daily operations as our booking calendar.
Rachel G.Silhouette Hair Removal Co · Nashville, TN

I signed up for the free trial expecting to be disappointed, if I'm being honest. I've been burned by software promises before, so my expectations were low. We handed an iPad to our newest hire on her first day, and she was collecting client signatures within the hour without any real training. We emailed support at 9pm on a weeknight about a form that wasn't saving properly, and someone actually replied before we opened the next morning. We use the photo consent forms for before-and-after pictures constantly, and having that built directly into the client's file instead of a separate paper form has saved us from at least one awkward situation. We're a small operation, and I was worried a platform like this would be overkill, but it's scaled with us nicely as Silhouette Hair Removal Co has grown.
Michelle N.Arch & Aster Brow Studio · Atlanta, GA

Before GlowForms, we were using a mix of printed waivers and a generic online form builder that clearly wasn't designed with businesses like ours in mind. The pricing tiers make sense for a business our size. We're on the mid-tier plan and haven't felt like we're missing features that should be standard. For the price, I genuinely think this is one of the better investments we've made in Arch & Aster Brow Studio this year, right up there with our appointment scheduling software. If you're on the fence about switching from paper to digital forms, this is the platform I'd point you toward. It's been worth every bit of the adjustment period.

We added conditional questions that only show up depending on the service booked, which cut down on irrelevant questions for our simpler services. We handed an iPad to our newest hire on her first day, and she was collecting client signatures within the hour without any real training. When we had an issue syncing forms across our two locations, their support team hopped on a call with me directly instead of just sending a canned email response. That kind of service is rare these days. The good stuff: - Branded templates that match Brow Alchemy Brow Bar's look and feel - Patch-test and allergy tracking that flags issues before the appointment starts - Mobile-friendly forms clients can complete before they even arrive It's not the cheapest option on the market, but compared to the hours we were losing to paperwork and the risk of missing liability information, it pays for itself quickly.
Michael J.Hazelwood Brow Bar · Los Angeles, CA

I want to preface this by saying I'm not usually someone who leaves reviews, but our experience with GlowForms over the past 19 months has genuinely changed how we run Hazelwood Brow Bar. We added a specific patch-test consent step for new clients, and it's cut down on the follow-up phone calls we used to have to make the day before an appointment. If you're on the fence about switching from paper to digital forms, this is the platform I'd point you toward. It's been worth every bit of the adjustment period.
James V.Marigold Style Collective · Houston, TX

I want to preface this by saying I'm not usually someone who leaves reviews, but our experience with GlowForms over the past 6 months has genuinely changed how we run Marigold Style Collective. We handed an iPad to our newest hire on her first day, and she was collecting client signatures within the hour without any real training. I do wish there were a couple more template categories specific to our niche, though the customization tools made it easy enough to build what we needed from scratch.
Tiffany Q.Steel Rose Tattoo & Piercing · Denver, CO

I run Steel Rose Tattoo & Piercing out of Denver, and paperwork was always the part of the job nobody wanted to deal with — until we brought in GlowForms. The time savings alone justify the cost. I'd estimate we're saving close to two hours a week just from not manually filing and re-filing paper forms. Being able to fully brand the forms with our logo, colors, and a welcome message has made the client experience feel more polished. A few clients at Steel Rose Tattoo & Piercing have actually commented on how professional it looks. Would I recommend it to a fellow owner? Without hesitation. It's one of the few pieces of software in my business that actually does what it promised.
Camille L.Cascadia Cosmetology Studio · Las Vegas, NV

My business partner found GlowForms after searching for something to replace our clunky spreadsheet-and-Google-Forms setup at Cascadia Cosmetology Studio, and I'm genuinely glad she did. Every new client at Cascadia Cosmetology Studio fills out their intake form remotely before their first visit now, which means we're not losing five to ten minutes of appointment time to paperwork anymore. Would I recommend it to a fellow owner? Without hesitation. It's one of the few pieces of software in my business that actually does what it promised.
Tyler K.Copperline Ink Studio · Austin, TX

We've been in business for 5 years, and this is the first piece of software that every single one of our 11 staff members has actually liked using. The health history section lets us flag contraindications automatically, which our technicians have come to rely on before every session. Would I recommend it to a fellow owner? Without hesitation. It's one of the few pieces of software in my business that actually does what it promised.
Elizabeth A.Silk Line Threading & Brows · Denver, CO

As the owner of a small threading here in Denver, I was skeptical about switching from paper to digital forms. A lot of my regulars aren't exactly tech-savvy, so I worried this would just create more confusion. The mobile experience is genuinely good, which I can't say for most software aimed at small businesses. My staff pull up forms on an iPad at the front desk without any lag or weird formatting issues. 4 months in, we haven't looked back. It's become as essential to our daily operations as our booking calendar.
Erin L.Palm & Pine Day Spa · Tucson, AZ

Before GlowForms, we were using a mix of printed waivers and a generic online form builder that clearly wasn't designed with businesses like ours in mind. Automated reminders before appointments have cut our no-show rate noticeably. Clients get a text the day before with a link to finish any outstanding forms, and it's made a real difference. Customer support has been consistently responsive. I've reached out a handful of times with formatting questions, and I usually hear back within a few hours, sometimes faster. Occasionally the sync between our booking software and GlowForms lags by a few minutes, which isn't a dealbreaker but has caused a moment of confusion once or twice at the front desk.
Amanda Q.Amber Nail Lounge · Dallas, TX

I've owned my amber nail lounge in Dallas for 1 years now, and until we found GlowForms, our client intake process was honestly a mess — clipboards, lost paperwork, and clients rushing through forms while sitting in the waiting area. The pricing tiers make sense for a business our size. We're on the mid-tier plan and haven't felt like we're missing features that should be standard. We're a small operation, and I was worried a platform like this would be overkill, but it's scaled with us nicely as Amber Nail Lounge has grown.
Kayla T.Ember Salon Co · Charlotte, NC

I've tried at least three other client intake platforms before landing on GlowForms for Ember Salon Co, and honestly, I wish I'd found this one first. We handed an iPad to our newest hire on her first day, and she was collecting client signatures within the hour without any real training. Every new client at Ember Salon Co fills out their intake form remotely before their first visit now, which means we're not losing five to ten minutes of appointment time to paperwork anymore. Would I recommend it to a fellow owner? Without hesitation. It's one of the few pieces of software in my business that actually does what it promised.
Courtney M.Willowbrook Bodywork · San Antonio, TX

My business partner found GlowForms after searching for something to replace our clunky spreadsheet-and-Google-Forms setup at Willowbrook Bodywork, and I'm genuinely glad she did. The health history section lets us flag contraindications automatically, which our technicians have come to rely on before every session. We migrated almost 3 years of paper records into the system during a slow week in January, and while tedious, it was worth it. Everything is finally in one searchable place. What sold me was how thorough the pre-built templates were for our industry. I didn't have to write a single waiver from scratch — I just customized the existing ones with our logo and a few questions specific to Willowbrook Bodywork. There was a small learning curve for a couple of our older staff members, though after about a week of use, they were navigating it just fine.

Being able to collect allergy information, medication history, and sensitivity notes all in one digital form has genuinely reduced our risk. No more squinting at someone's handwriting to figure out if they're allergic to something. The onboarding specialist actually walked us through setting up our first ten forms on a screen-share call, which made the whole transition feel much less overwhelming. All in all, I'd absolutely recommend GlowForms to any beauty or wellness business still relying on paper. It's made our front desk more efficient and our records far more reliable.

AnonymousWillowmere Wellness Day Spa · Salt Lake City, UT

We've been in business for 1 years, and this is the first piece of software that every single one of our 12 staff members has actually liked using. What sold me was how thorough the pre-built templates were for our industry. I didn't have to write a single waiver from scratch — I just customized the existing ones with our logo and a few questions specific to Willowmere Wellness Day Spa. Our cancellation rate dropped noticeably once clients started getting automatic reminders with their forms attached — turns out half our no-shows were people who just forgot. Being able to fully brand the forms with our logo, colors, and a welcome message has made the client experience feel more polished. A few clients at Willowmere Wellness Day Spa have actually commented on how professional it looks. The mobile experience is genuinely good, which I can't say for most software aimed at small businesses. My staff pull up forms on an iPad at the front desk without any lag or weird formatting issues.

Vanessa P.Marigold Beauty Bar · New York, NY

After a client complained that her allergy information wasn't on file (it was buried in a filing cabinet, not lost — just impossible to find quickly), I knew we needed a real system for Marigold Beauty Bar. The e-signature feature works flawlessly. Clients sign on their own device, and it's timestamped and stored automatically, so we're never scrambling to prove a waiver was signed.

I didn't have to write a single waiver from scratch — I just customized the existing ones with our logo and a few questions specific to Onyx Lash Bar. The time savings alone justify the cost. I'd estimate we're saving close to two hours a week just from not manually filing and re-filing paper forms. I appreciated that we weren't locked into a rigid template. We rearranged sections, added our own consent language reviewed by our attorney, and adjusted the wording to match our brand voice. Clients can complete everything from their phone in the parking lot before their appointment, which has been a huge time-saver, especially for first-time visitors who tend to arrive right at their appointment time. When we had an issue syncing forms across our two locations, their support team hopped on a call with me directly instead of just sending a canned email response. That kind of service is rare these days. The good stuff: - A support team that actually picks up the phone - The ability to update a form for every client at once when our policies changed - Automated appointment reminders that link directly to outstanding forms - Branded templates that match Onyx Lash Bar's look and feel We looked at two competitors before settling on GlowForms, and the value here — especially for a team of 2 — was simply better. Bottom line: All in all, I'd absolutely recommend GlowForms to any beauty or wellness business still relying on paper. It's made our front desk more efficient and our records far more reliable.
Yolanda P.Marble & Co Nail Studio · Denver, CO

I want to preface this by saying I'm not usually someone who leaves reviews, but our experience with GlowForms over the past 10 months has genuinely changed how we run Marble & Co Nail Studio. The health history section lets us flag contraindications automatically, which our technicians have come to rely on before every session. Having every client's history searchable in seconds instead of digging through a filing cabinet has changed how we operate day to day. It sounds small, but it adds up over hundreds of appointments a month. The customization options go deeper than I expected. We added conditional questions that only show up depending on the service booked, which cut down on irrelevant questions for our simpler services. We handed an iPad to our newest hire on her first day, and she was collecting client signatures within the hour without any real training. Customer support has been consistently responsive. I've reached out a handful of times with formatting questions, and I usually hear back within a few hours, sometimes faster. What we love: - Automated appointment reminders that link directly to outstanding forms - A support team that actually picks up the phone - Patch-test and allergy tracking that flags issues before the appointment starts - Multi-location syncing that keeps every technician's files up to date - E-signatures that are legally sound and time-stamped automatically For the price, I genuinely think this is one of the better investments we've made in Marble & Co Nail Studio this year, right up there with our appointment scheduling software. Bottom line: If you're on the fence about switching from paper to digital forms, this is the platform I'd point you toward. It's been worth every bit of the adjustment period.
Quinn S.Aurelia Beauty Academy Salon · Washington, DC

We started using GlowForms about 8 months ago at our aurelia beauty academy salon after one too many misplaced consent forms nearly turned into a real liability headache for us. For the price, I genuinely think this is one of the better investments we've made in Aurelia Beauty Academy Salon this year, right up there with our appointment scheduling software. Pricing went up slightly after our first year, which wasn't a dealbreaker but did catch me off guard since I wasn't expecting it. I don't write reviews often, but our experience has been positive enough that I wanted other small business owners in cosmetology to know it's worth trying.
Ashley L.Flutter Lash Bar · Albuquerque, NM

I've tried at least three other client intake platforms before landing on GlowForms for Flutter Lash Bar, and honestly, I wish I'd found this one first. The pricing tiers make sense for a business our size. We're on the mid-tier plan and haven't felt like we're missing features that should be standard. The onboarding specialist actually walked us through setting up our first ten forms on a screen-share call, which made the whole transition feel much less overwhelming. Occasionally the sync between our booking software and GlowForms lags by a few minutes, which isn't a dealbreaker but has caused a moment of confusion once or twice at the front desk.
James H.Lantern Spa Collective · Miami, FL

We started using GlowForms about 18 months ago at our lantern spa collective after one too many misplaced consent forms nearly turned into a real liability headache for us. Having every client's history searchable in seconds instead of digging through a filing cabinet has changed how we operate day to day. It sounds small, but it adds up over hundreds of appointments a month. I do wish there were a couple more template categories specific to our niche, though the customization tools made it easy enough to build what we needed from scratch.
Patricia H.Willowmere Spa Collective · Nashville, TN

Before GlowForms, we were using a mix of printed waivers and a generic online form builder that clearly wasn't designed with businesses like ours in mind. Our cancellation rate dropped noticeably once clients started getting automatic reminders with their forms attached — turns out half our no-shows were people who just forgot. We're a small operation, and I was worried a platform like this would be overkill, but it's scaled with us nicely as Willowmere Spa Collective has grown.
Zoe B.Marigold Cosmetology Studio · Richmond, VA

I want to preface this by saying I'm not usually someone who leaves reviews, but our experience with GlowForms over the past 5 months has genuinely changed how we run Marigold Cosmetology Studio. For the price, I genuinely think this is one of the better investments we've made in Marigold Cosmetology Studio this year, right up there with our appointment scheduling software. I was worried the mobile version would feel like an afterthought, but it's actually just as functional as the desktop version. Our older clients have had no trouble navigating it either, which honestly surprised me. Having every client's history searchable in seconds instead of digging through a filing cabinet has changed how we operate day to day. It sounds small, but it adds up over hundreds of appointments a month. Would I recommend it to a fellow owner? Without hesitation. It's one of the few pieces of software in my business that actually does what it promised.
AnonymousSilkwing Lash Collective · Kansas City, MO

When I opened Silkwing Lash Collective last year, digital intake forms weren't even on my radar until a colleague mentioned GlowForms at an industry trade show. The onboarding specialist actually walked us through setting up our first ten forms on a screen-share call, which made the whole transition feel much less overwhelming. Would I recommend it to a fellow owner? Without hesitation. It's one of the few pieces of software in my business that actually does what it promised.
