Cancelling a subscription stops future billing but you typically retain access until the end of the current paid billing cycle when cancelled via app stores.
For web cancellations, billing stops at the next renewal; confirm your account billing date in Settings.
Account deletion and data
Deleting your account is irreversible and will remove data except records GlossGenius must retain for legal reasons.
Make local backups of client lists, appointments and financial records before deleting your account.

Hardware returns must meet the vendor conditions (see refund policy below).

Users often cancel in the app but forget to cancel the subscription through the App Store or Google Play who actually bill them.
Always confirm the billing source before cancelling to avoid continued charges.
Expecting prorated refunds
Many expect partial refunds after cancelling mid-cycle; GlossGenius states subscription fees are non-refundable and not prorated.
If you need a refund, contact the store (Apple/Google) but understand the company’s terms emphasise no refunds.
Deleting account without backup
