Fresha

Fresha is a marketplace and business software platform for the beauty, wellness and self-care industry. Its all-in-one platform for salons, spas and barbershops combines appointment scheduling, point-of-sale, client management, marketing automation and payments, while a consumer marketplace handles online bookings and connects directly with Instagram, Facebook and Google. Fresha says the platform is used by more than 130,000 businesses and 450,000 professionals, and that it has processed upwards of one billion appointments.

The company operates in more than 120 countries and maintains 15 offices across three continents, with its headquarters in London and a presence spanning North America, EMEA and APAC. Its workforce is global and distributed. The stated mission is to address revenue lost across the industry to missed appointments, no-shows and inefficient operations, allowing businesses to concentrate on their core services.

Technical work at Fresha covers marketplace infrastructure, appointment scheduling software, point-of-sale systems, payments processing, marketing automation, customer relationship management and online booking, as well as integrations with social platforms including Instagram, Facebook and Google. Integrated payments are delivered through the same platform. Fresha positions itself as reshaping how consumers discover and experience beauty and wellness services.
