GlossGenius is a New York-based vertical SaaS and fintech platform that gives independent beauty and wellness professionals - hair stylists, nail techs, estheticians, spas and medspas - one app to run the whole business. It combines online booking, a built-in card-processing POS, client CRM, marketing automation, payroll, inventory and AI agents, replacing the patchwork of spreadsheets, paper books and generic tools that solo operators and small salons relied on. Founded in 2016 by Danielle Cohen-Shohet, it crossed roughly $100M in revenue, serves tens of thousands of businesses, and reached unicorn status with a reported $1.12B valuation after its January 2026 Series D.
