What is the “smart” management of studios and their technology? First of all, in the appropriate use of every square meter of the studio, the absence of an operational routine, the superficial involvement of the manager in operational activities, full IT support and the absence of organizational hassles. Here are the main principles of GoBeauty Studios:

1. The full involvement of the manager is required only in the processes leading to the launch of the studios, i.e. during the search for premises, repairs, drawing up documentation, and installing furniture. On average, it takes 2-4 months, depending on the room’s square footage. Later, after all the premises are leased, the manager’s responsibilities include only studio work support (quick response to tenants’ questions or problems related to furniture and technical equipment).

2. The specialist receives a personalized, fully equipped space (furniture, ventilation system, drainage, heating, security) which meets all requirements and standards and has access to the workplace 24/7.

3. A high level of security. The AJAX security system presence, in which each professional has access to his account for signing the contract period.

4. Lack of staff, except for the hired or outsourced accountant. Cooperation with a cleaning company is also mandatory.

5. The existence of a website and GoBeauty mobile application IT solution. It combines all the necessary possibilities for finding a beautician near home or work, booking a convenient time, paying for services and communicating with the specialist. Accordingly, beauty professional has the opportunity to plan schedule, add services in the mobile application and get new customers thanks to the marketing support of the management company.
