Services

Built for tanning. Not adapted from something else.

Most salon software was designed for hairdressers or beauty therapists, then retrofitted for tanning. Glo was designed from the ground up for how tanning salons actually work.

🛏️

Bed-Level Tracking

Every bed is its own tracked asset with usage hours, tube life, maintenance logs and per-bed revenue. Most platforms only let you create "rooms" — they don't understand equipment that wears out.

📋

Skin Assessments Built In

Fitzpatrick scale forms, signed consent and exposure history are part of the client record — not a bolted-on extra or a separate paper form.

⏱️

Minute-Based Courses

Sell prepaid minute packages and automatically deduct session time at checkout. Other systems use "visit" credits that don't account for different session lengths.

🔧

Maintenance Scheduling

Tube hours tracked automatically. Visual badges go from green to amber to red as beds approach their threshold — so you replace tubes on time, not too early or too late.

🌍

Enterprise-Grade Infrastructure

Glo runs on world-class cloud infrastructure with data centres across the UK and Europe. Real-time sync, near-instant performance and automatic failover. And if your broadband ever drops, Glo's local mode keeps you taking bookings and payments without interruption.

💰

Software that looks after itself — and you

Everything your salon needs, nothing it doesn't

Powerful tools in an interface your team can learn in minutes.

Most salon software was built for hairdressers and beauty therapists — then loosely adapted for tanning. That means workarounds for bed tracking, no understanding of tube maintenance cycles, and no concept of prepaid minute courses. Glo was designed from the ground up for how tanning salons actually operate, so every feature below exists because a real salon needed it — not because it was borrowed from a different industry.
