It's that time of year again, where things just seem to amp up rapidly and there is no time to organise anything ! It's all about crazy workloads, racing season, birthdays, Christmas parties, CHRISTMAS (omg its around the corner) New Years, and well it really is all just happening! Nobody wants to go through the party season with limp hair, chipped nails, and a manly spray tan, but how are we meant to get an appointment anywhere when every where is booked out ?!….
I present to you the one and only app you need on your phone right now for all things beauty, 'GLAMAZON' - your go to beauty booking app, and trust me its a goodie!
Download, sign up and get booking right away, especially last minute , so for all you girls on the GO this is the one for you ! ..
I sat down with Glamazon creator Lauren Silvers to find out a little about the app and why she decided to leave the PR world to take a risk and start her own business. I love a girl with a dream and guts to just get out there and do it.
( She is also a dead set Glamazon herself, and I am lucky enough to call her my friend.. how lucky am I ?! )
Below she tells us all about the app and how it began…
1. What is Glamazon?
Glamazon is an app that allows women to access beauty appointments anytime, anywhere. It is the only way girls can instantly discover and book vacant appointments in real-time.
2. How and why did you come up with the idea to create a beauty app?
I always found the process of ringing around multiple salons to find a suitable appointment really frustrating, especially whilst working full time. I also struggled to make contact with high-quality salons and apparently lots of other girls agree!
3. How hard was it to leave your job to start a new venture / idea?
It took 8 months for me to actually leave my job as the thought of it was so daunting and scary. I felt too young and naïve but the passion to explore this new opportunity eventually took over. You just have to follow your instincts sometimes!
4. Where can people download the app and how do they use it?
Glamazon is available on the App Store Australia-wide which can be accessed via any Apple iPhone or iPad. The app itself is really sexy and user friendly - once you’ve popped in your credit card details to the secure platform, the app allows you to simply browse via treatment and location. It works in a very similar way to Uber.
5. What makes someone a 'Glamazon' - how did you come up with this amazing name?
I believe the word Glamazon perfectly embodies the way a woman feels after they have a beauty treatment. Being a Glamazon is all about feeling confident and beautiful.
6. What are 3 beauty essentials you couldn't live without?
Touché Eclat by YSL, Klorane Dry Shampoo, Paw Paw ointment
7. Who inspires you?Female entrepreneurs and women who follow their dreams and passions inspire me the most. On a more personal level, I’m inspired by my amazing grandfather, who I have regular meetings with and still teaches me so much about business.
8. Starting a business from scratch can be very daunting I can imagine, do you have any advice for anyone wanting to create an app or jump ship and start their own business idea?
Trust your instincts! It always seems impossible until you do it. Just start by writing a basic business plan and see if the passion flows from there. If you are really passionate about something and wake up thinking about it every morning it’s difficult to ignore.
9. Will people get discounts on salons and treatments on Glamazon?
Glamazon gives salons the perfect platform to expose and manage appointments themselves, making it really easy for them to control their pricing. In the 4 months since launch, we have seen over 50% of our salons reduce their prices in order to fill in last minute appointments, which would otherwise go to waste.
10. Where do you see your business in 10 years time?
I see Glamazon as the biggest beauty, fitness, wellness and lifestyle marketplace in Australia and other global markets.
