There is a widespread number of hairsalons and beauty therapists, scattered across all localities in the country. Using a hairstylist or beauty therapist for the first time is always trail and error or word of mouth for those with networks.
Business Idea
To provide on demand platforms for various in demand services. The click Salon app will provide geo locations of salons, hair stylists and therapists profiles and ratings offering incall and outcall service to customers who subscribe to the Click Salon one stop shop platform for hair and beauty.
The platform is also an online store hair and beauty products. On which we sell products and supply to member salons and beauticians on the platform. Our hair and beauty products online store will be open to the general public for them to buy our range of products. Similar to a clicks stores but online.
