The honest answer on price
For teams, the price is identical, and Glow simply does more per pound. For solo techs, SalonBooking is genuinely cheaper, and if all you want is a clean diary with deposits, it's a fair product at a fair price.
Here's what the extra £10 buys on Glow: a platform that speaks lash and brow natively (patch tests, infills, consent, aftercare), loyalty and vouchers and reviews included, a referral scheme that can zero your bill entirely, deposits landing directly in your own Stripe account, and a roadmap driven by working techs. Several of our customers pay nothing most months because their referrals cover it.
We'd also gently say this about £9 pricing anywhere in this market: texts, support and infrastructure cost real money per customer. Prices that thin tend to rise, or the product tends to thin with them. £19 is what honest and sustainable costs, and it's £19 forever for everyone who joins now.
