A note from our team

We're cooking up something good.

Behind the scenes, our team is putting the final touches on a platform built to help beauty professionals across South Africa get discovered, get booked, and get paid properly.

We're taking the time to get this right, refining every detail so that when you open GLAM-Connect for the first time, it just works. The bookings, the payments, the experience: all worthy of the businesses you've spent years building.

01 November 2026 is when we open the doors. Thank you for being part of this with us. We're building it for you, and we can't wait to show you.

The GLAM-Connect team

Sound Familiar?

Still running your books through WhatsApp?

You're talented. But managing bookings through messages, missed calls, and DMs is holding your business back.

Missed messages, lost clients

Enquiries slip through the cracks while you're mid-braid. Every message you only see at 21:00 is a booking somebody else took.

Double bookings and confusion

A paper diary, WhatsApp and DMs don't talk to each other, so two clients end up booked into the same chair.

Slow, unpredictable growth

Word of mouth only goes so far. Without visibility, new clients can't find you, no matter how good your work is.

The Solution

GLAM-Connect helps you get discovered and booked.

Not just another admin tool. A marketplace that puts you in front of clients searching in your area, fills the gaps in your week, and handles the money properly: secure payments, clear payouts, and a record of every booking.

Free forever

No subscription? You're still in.

A slow month shouldn't cost you your place in front of clients. On GLAM-Connect you don't need a monthly budget to be found. The Free plan costs nothing, forever. No card, no debit order, no clock counting down. List your services, show your work, and take real bookings from day one.

No card, no debit order

Signing up asks for nothing off your bank account. Nothing goes off at month-end, because there's nothing to go off.

You only pay when you get paid

There's no monthly bill on Free. The platform's share comes out of bookings you've actually completed, so a quiet month costs you nothing.

Found by real clients, day one

Once you're verified, your profile shows up when people search for your services in your area, whichever plan you're on.

Start where you are. Upgrade only when the bookings make it worth it.

Why GLAM-Connect

Built for growth, not just bookings

Everything you need to attract new clients, keep them coming back, and look professional doing it.

Bring in new clients

Clients search by service, area, price and rating, and they find you. No more waiting on word of mouth.

Fill the quiet days

Turn gaps into income. Clients book your open times directly, and you can push your visibility up when you need bookings.

Build regulars

Client notes, promotions, loyalty rewards and rebooking nudges keep people coming back without you chasing them.

Money handled properly

Clients pay securely through PayFast when they book. No chasing deposits, no awkward money conversations. You request your payout and it comes to your bank account.

Ready at launch

Everything that's live on day one

Not a promise for later. This is what GLAM-Connect does the moment we open the doors.

For clients

Find someone brilliant, book them properly

  • Search your area: by service, price, rating and distance, whether they come to you or you go to them.
  • Real availability: see the open slots and take the one you want.
  • Pay securely: card or EFT through PayFast, right when you book.
  • Follow your appointment: on the way, arrived, in progress, done.
  • Share your trip: send someone you trust a live link. No account needed on their side.
  • Chat in the app: one thread with your professional, no numbers swapped.
  • Reviews that mean something: only a completed booking can leave one.
  • Standing appointments: set your regular slot once, at a discount every visit.
  • Group bookings: bridal parties and birthdays, where nobody pays until everyone has RSVP'd.
  • Events: post your wedding or matric dance and let verified professionals bid for the work.
  • Gift cards and loyalty: buy and send gift cards, and earn points at participating professionals.
  • Fully booked? Join the standby queue and get first shot if the slot frees up.
For professionals & salons

Run the whole business from one place

  • A profile that sells: portfolio, before-and-after galleries, prices and real reviews.
  • Your menu, your rules: services, add-ons and packages, priced the way you price.
  • Your diary, protected: working hours, buffers between clients, days off, and double-booking prevention on every path.
  • Instant Book: let trusted bookings confirm themselves when your calendar is clear.
  • Paid up front: bookings are paid when they're made, and payouts land as fast as 24 hours on Pro.
  • Tips are 100% yours: the platform takes nothing from a tip.
  • Fill the quiet days: push your visibility up in local search when you need bookings.
  • Keep your regulars: client notes, promotions, loyalty rewards and rebooking campaigns.
  • Know your numbers: revenue, busiest times and client trends at a glance.
  • Run your salon: staff accounts, booking assignments and per-staff earnings.
  • Look the part: verified badge, optional insurance badge, intake forms and a QR code for your booking page.
  • Stock and expenses: track products and business costs alongside the bookings.
On the roadmap

What's coming after launch

Already in the works. We switch things on when they're genuinely ready, so no dates, just direction.

Mobile apps

The full experience as a dedicated app. Until then, GLAM-Connect works beautifully in your phone's browser.

Calendar sync

Keep your GLAM diary in step with the calendar you already live in.

Business accounts

Companies booking beauty and grooming for their teams, managed on one account.

Refer a friend

Bring someone onto the platform and both of you get something back for it.

Everything on this list is in development. None of it is needed to start taking bookings on day one.

Simple Setup

How it works

Three steps to start receiving bookings. That's it.

1

Create your profile

Add your services, prices, portfolio photos and working hours. It takes minutes, not an afternoon.

2

Get verified

Send through your ID, proof of address and banking details. Once our team approves you, you're live, and clients can see you're the real deal.

3

Start receiving bookings

Clients find you, book a real slot in your diary and pay securely. You focus on the work.

Common Questions

Already thinking ahead?

"I can't afford a monthly subscription."

Then don't pay one. The Free plan is free forever. No card, no debit order, no expiry. You get discovered, take bookings and get paid; the platform only earns a share of the bookings you actually complete.

"I already have enough clients."

That's great. GLAM-Connect helps you grow beyond your current base by attracting higher-value bookings, filling cancellations instantly, and building a waitlist.

"I use WhatsApp and it works fine."

WhatsApp is great for chatting. GLAM organises your diary, collects the money up front, reminds your clients, and puts you in front of new ones. Those are things a chat app was never built to do.

"I'm not very tech-savvy."

If you can post to Instagram, you can run GLAM. Setup takes minutes, it works on the phone in your hand, and we walk you through every step.

Whether you're starting out or scaling a team, there's a path to grow.

Choose the plan that matches where you are today. Upgrade the month you outgrow it, and drop back down if the season turns quiet.
