The best of the best

My experience with Yocale is amazing! I first met them at the NYC esthetics show in the Javits center (shout out to [sensitive content hidden]) they really opened our eyes to how important it is to use a company like yocale for our service based business. They educated us on how it will help us and we are so grateful that we took this step! The staff is truly such a help they walked us through every step of the way and continue to help us to this day! (shoutout to [sensitive content hidden]) Couldn't recommend them enough! Looking forward to continuing to grow!

This company goes the distance in customer service. Any issues we ever had were dealt with quickly.

Additional features as well as better service.

Yocale: A great app for scheduling appointments with businesses that integrates with Google Business

Overall, I have enjoyed using Yocale. It is a very well-designed app, and it integrates seamlessly with Google Business. This makes it a powerful tool for scheduling appointments. The only downside is that it can be a little confusing to use at first, but once you get the hang of it, it is a great tool.

Easy, fast, convenient scheduling

This software has made it easier, faster, and more convenient scheduling for our patients and staff!

Frequently Asked Questions

What is salon and medi-spa software and why does the right platform matter?

Salon software helps manage everything from online bookings to payments, staff scheduling, reporting, and branding. The right system streamlines operations and directly impacts client retention, staff efficiency, and revenue.

Yocale clients report:
• 64% more bookings
• 41% improvement in client retention
• 40+ hours/month saved on admin

Why is Yocale a better alternative to GlossGenius?

GlossGenius is great for solo providers but lacks the flexibility to support growing businesses or teams. Yocale works for solo pros and scaling teams with deeper tools, more customization, and advanced scheduling.

Yocale offers what GlossGenius doesn’t:

• Combine multiple services in one booking
• Team scheduling and multi-location support
• Deposit transfers on rescheduled appointments
• Embedded booking on your website (no redirects)
• Product sales at checkout
• Advanced business reporting

Is GlossGenius only for solo professionals?

Yes. GlossGenius is built primarily for independent providers. It doesn’t support staff scheduling or multiple locations, which makes it less suitable for growing teams or franchises.

Yocale supports:
• Multi-provider and multi-location businesses
• Team coordination and access control
• Scalable workflows for hybrid setups

How does Yocale help me avoid double bookings and scheduling issues?

Yocale prevents conflicts by allowing multiple services to be booked under one appointment. It also supports service durations, buffer times, and team availability—features missing in GlossGenius.

✅ You stay in control of your time and resources.

How does the deposit and cancellation process compare?

Yocale lets you automatically transfer deposits from canceled appointments to rescheduled ones—no refunds or recharges needed. GlossGenius doesn’t offer deposit transfers, creating friction for both clients and staff.

How does the client booking experience differ between the two?

With Yocale, your booking widget lives right on your website—branded and seamless. GlossGenius redirects clients to an external link, disrupting the client experience and reducing conversion rates.

Can I customize Yocale to match my brand and workflow?

Absolutely. Yocale offers full control over your booking pages, client communications, and workflows. GlossGenius provides limited branding and more rigid templates.

With Yocale, your software feels like your brand.

What kind of business reporting does Yocale provide?

Yocale delivers detailed, customizable reports on everything from staff performance and no-shows to service revenue and product sales. GlossGenius offers basic reports with limited customization.

Use your data to grow smarter, not just faster.

Why are growing salons and medi-spas choosing Yocale over GlossGenius?

Because Yocale supports you at every stage—whether you’re solo or scaling up. It's built for real-world beauty and wellness businesses that need flexibility, efficiency, and results.
Why businesses switch to Yocale:

• Better team and location management
• Embedded, branded booking experience
