I think we should give these guys a chance. Maybe their communication needs a little work but to the people saying it's time shares in a different coat, we just don't know that for sure. Although I'm not saying your concerns are unfounded either.

Their model is unique and we don't know exactly how it's going to pan out. Personally, I think it might be promising depending on how it's done.

Hi Sergio! Exactly what you are describing is what we want to solve: we want you to be confident that you will get a standard quality service when you book with Glitzi. Now, we have learned that good professionals (trained and using good quality products) invest in their work & tools, therefore, they expect a higher pay than a cheap non-quality service (and that makes sense!). So our prices are not cheap but are not crazy expensive (also consider that these services are at-home, the professionals have to travel to your house). Our haircuts for men are $18 dollars. However, we think that as Glitzi grows (we have more bookings), we will be able to reduce prices as professionals will earn the same or more but will have more appointments per day.

Ohhh Urbancompany.com we know about you guys! Great work! Is it true that your main services are beauty and wellness? I will love to talk to you to share notes.

Soon. We want to perfection our product before we take all Mexico and then Latam!!!

CDMX and QRO only (for now) :)

We are Ana and Luis, the founders of Glitzi (https://glitzi.com.mx/). We provide certified beauty and spa services, same day and delivered at home, in Latin America.

In Latam, lack of regulations and licencing means that people struggle to access quality beauty and wellness services. Beauty salons and spas also offer very poor working conditions to professionals, who live mostly off tips or low commissions. As a Latin woman I always thought this was normal, but when I lived abroad I realized that it has more to do with lack of licensing standards. Latin men and women spend significantly more on these types of services than any other region. We deserve better!

Our platform connects customers with vetted, trained independent beauty and spa professionals. We allocate each appointment to the best suited professional in our network according to availability, distance and skills. We also train our professionals based on standardized protocols that we have developed, so we are becoming the quality standard in the industry. Most startups in this space in Latam are SaaS solutions for salons or spas. We believe in empowering who really matters in this space: the customers and the professionals. And it's really both: happy professionals are as important as happy customers.

Some of our best customers are working mothers and business owners who have little time to take care of themselves or go to the spa or salon. 95% of our network of third-party professionals are women who can decide when and how many hours they work at Glitzi, therefore they can continue with their professional careers when they become mothers. Not only that, but they can earn a lot more (as much as 3x more) than in salons or spas.
