Beauty Startup BeGlammed Brings the Stylist Straight to Your Home

As more and more companies tap into the on-demand economy, one startup thinks it’s got what it takes to be the Uber of the beauty industry. BeGlammed was founded in June of 2014 as a way to connect stylists with clients through a convenient platform. 'The idea came from the concept of getting a good easy platform for clients to book hair and makeup,' said beGlammed founder Maile Pacheco. 'I’ve been in the beauty industry for a while and I felt like there was a gap.' The app lets users order stylists through three different pricing levels, which are based on the stylist’s experience. A hair appointment can cost anywhere from $40 to $195, and a makeup appointment can cost anywhere from $60 to $250. Since starting in Las Vegas, the company has expanded to 16 cities in the U.S., and plans to continue that growth nationally and internationally, adding at least three more cities by the end of the year.
