Wait for Admin Approval​

After creating your salon, it needs to be reviewed and approved by the Glambook team before you can go live.

  • Your checklist will show "Pending Admin Approval" with the message "Glambook admins are reviewing your facility"
  • You'll be notified once your salon is approved
  • While waiting, you can get ahead by adding your services and staff (Steps 4 & 5)

Approval typically happens quickly. If your salon is rejected, you'll see a notification with the reason — update your details and resubmit.
