The problem with Treatwell

Why Sydney salon owners
are leaving Treatwell.

1
Commission on every booking

Treatwell charges a percentage of every booking made through their platform — meaning the more clients you attract, the more you pay them.

2
UK-based platform, not built for Australia

Treatwell is a European booking platform. Their support, pricing model, and client base is not optimised for the Sydney salon market.

3
You compete with every other salon on the platform

On Treatwell, your salon sits next to competitors. Clients shop by price. You are always one cheaper salon away from losing a booking.

4
Your clients belong to the platform, not you

Clients who book through Treatwell are Treatwell customers first. The platform owns the relationship and the data.

How GlowRef is different

GlowRef is built differently —
fundamentally different model.

✓
You earn — the platform never takes

GlowRef pays your salon A$35 per redeemed client. GlowRef earns nothing from your existing bookings. There is no commission model that works against you.

✓
Your clients are your clients

GlowRef does not own your client relationship. The voucher is a gift from your salon to your client. Your brand stays central.

✓
No platform competition

GlowRef is not a marketplace. Your salon does not compete with other salons. You distribute vouchers to your own clients on your own terms.

✓
Zero cost to join

No subscription, no setup fee, no commission on existing revenue. You join, you earn, you pay nothing to participate.

Common questions

What Sydney salon owners
ask before switching.

No. GlowRef does not charge commission on bookings. GlowRef pays your salon A$35 per redeemed client — the money flows to you, not away from you. There is no subscription fee and no platform commission on your existing revenue.
Treatwell is a booking marketplace where clients discover and compare salons, and salons pay commission per booking. GlowRef is a referral programme — your salon gifts branded voucher cards to your existing clients, who then book their first facial at a GlowRef partner clinic. GlowRef earns nothing from your salon. You earn A$35 per redeemed client.
No. There is no contract, no minimum commitment, and no subscription fee. The programme is invitation-based and starts with a complimentary owner trial so you can experience the quality before recommending it to your clients.
Your clients receive a complimentary introduction to a GlowRef partner clinic — a first facial session at an introductory referred rate, with a full consultation included. The voucher is positioned as a gift from your salon, not as a discount or deal.
