Revolution Beauty launches new platform to help self-employed beauty professionals

Revolution Beauty has today launched a new beauty booking platform to transform the way freelance beauty professionals manage their clients and market their talents.

With 1,000 beauty professionals currently on board, My Revolution is an on-demand beauty marketplace to connect the freelance beauty industry to clients through one central app.

In a similar way to salon booking services, it allows freelance beauty professionals, including accredited make-up artists, hairstylists and beauty therapists to be discovered by potential clients, while also centrally managing bookings on the platform..

My Revolution was co-founded by make-up artist turned entrepreneur Nicola Gunby and entrepreneur Jason Iliffe, who were previously co-founders of AMB Beauty, an on-demand beauty marketplace which was acquired by Revolution Beauty to create the new platform.

The app is now available on iOS and Android for professionals to download and sign up, which will allow them to get exclusive access to new product launches and the chance to feature on Revolution’s social channels with resulting content they create.

Nicola Wing, Group Strategy Director, Revolution Beauty, said: "Those who freelance in the beauty industry can spend hours replying to customers on different platforms, handling diary changes and dealing with cancellations.

"My Revolution will make this process so much easier, freeing up their time so they can focus less on logistics and more on what they do best. Our platform will also make it even easier for freelancers to be discovered by prospective clients, helping both emerging and established professionals generate a more reliable stream of income."

Nicola Gunby, Co-Founder of AMB Beauty and My Revolution added: "As a previous makeup artist, I found out first-hand how hard it can be to find work and grow your client base when you’re just starting out or if you move to a new area.

"My Revolution is the perfect answer to this, providing independent beauty professionals all over the UK with an opportunity to market themselves and their talents on the same platform that a customer can browse, book and pay."
