A GlossGenius alternative built around your website - not their app
GlossGenius is popular with US independents who want payments and booking in one beauty-focused app. Hacado is for studios that want the public face to be their own site: multi-page brand, custom domain, gift cards, and a book that still connects the processors you choose.
Public brand
A full booking website: services, gallery, FAQ, gift cards, your domain.
Public brand
A polished beauty app experience - clients often remember the product as much as your URL.
Website depth
Multi-page builder you grow into - not only a booking skin.
Website depth
Strong booking and payments; the marketing site is thinner than a studio site.
Who it is for
Independents who already fill the book from Instagram and Google.
Who it is for
Beauty pros who want a beauty-native mobile-first booking app.
When Hacado wins
You want the site to match the work and own the URL clients bookmark.
When GlossGenius still wins
You prefer their mobile-first beauty workflow and do not need a deeper site.
