London launch wedge

Start narrow, win trust, then expand

Best first market: BIAB nails and brows in Shoreditch, Soho and Chelsea. These are frequent, visual, time-sensitive services where clients already compare portfolios and beauticians suffer from no-shows.

Client promise “I need a great beautician today, without messaging five accounts.”
Pro promise “Send me serious clients with a deposit, not time-wasters.”
Business model 12% on confirmed bookings, then beautician subscription once demand is proven.
