In short

  • Your booking review tells you whether you pay now or at the salon.
  • A salon can allow pay-at-salon bookings from its own booking link.
  • When Gloa needs to save or charge a card, the payment step appears before the booking is confirmed.

Paying at the salon means Gloa takes no card and no deposit while you book. The confirmation tells you to pay the salon directly. This option depends on the salon and how you reached its booking page.
