Imagine a world where pampering yourself is as easy as ordering a latte. You don’t have to scroll through endless social media posts or make countless phone calls to find the perfect hairstylist. Beauty Butler, an on-demand beauty and wellness platform, is here to change the game. This app brings convenience to customers’ fingertips, allowing them to access self-care needs easily, regardless of their busy schedules.
In the modern world, getting goods and services on demand is not just a necessity, it is expected. As individuals juggle demanding careers, families, and other commitments, convenience is necessary to stay on top of tasks. Despite the proliferation of platforms for on-demand goods and services, the beauty industry in Nigeria is still very analog. To get a hairstylist or masseuse, customers often schedule time out of their busy days to visit a salon or spa. The more digital alternative involves scouring social media platforms to find a suitable vendor who offers at-home services and reach out via DM or WhatsApp. This time-consuming process also involves trial and error to figure out which beauty professional can deliver the results you want.
On the other side, beauty professionals have limited means to reach clients and manage appointments effectively. Tech-savvy professionals rely on social media which requires them to constantly create content and field multiple inquiries from different clients. This social media management process is extremely tasking, time-consuming, and difficult to manage.
Recognizing this problem in the industry, Chinny Eze founded Beauty Butler, a platform designed to simplify the beauty experience. Beauty Butler intends to help modern women balance work and self-care.
“I remember thinking ‘Why is getting the beauty services we deserve such a struggle? Why can’t it be on our time, on our terms?” says Chinny, “I wanted an effortless solution, where prioritizing self-care didn’t mean sacrificing everything else. That’s when the idea for Beauty Butler was born. I wanted to create an app for women like us who juggle careers, side hustles, and self-care with ease but still want to look flawless. I wanted something that matched our hustle and energy—a way to book a beauty service as easily as ordering a latte.”
