Empowering independent professionals
in the hair, beauty and cosmetic industry
How it works
GastGo app allows you as the independent professional to set up your profile, write a short bio, list your services, duration, prices, business location and upload your profile picture as well as images of your previous work.
GastGo uses cutting-edge technology and mobile push notification to automatically market your business presence to local, national and international clients. This includes your existing clients, new clients and potential clients who have just moved into your area and require your service.
As a GastGo professional, you are in control of your own prices, working hours, days and location. If you decide to relocate, you can change your business location and your clients will be able to see your new address when re-booking a service.
Clients have 24-hour access to your profile and are able to book appointments. GastGo sends you clients using the mobile app and notifies you whenever an appointment is booked.
GastGo Clients
GastGo has signed up thousands of clients and the numbers continue to increase. Clients want the convenience to book a professional anytime. They are willing to pay more money knowing they have a dedicated professional and time slot where they will receive a good service without having to wait in a salon or a barbershop.
Independent professionals
Independent professionals are self-employed and either hire a working space/booth in a traditional salon, studio or a barbershop or working from home full time or part time. We do not recommend you sign up as a GastGo professional if you do not have your own working space or if you are hired.
GastGo splits independents professionals in the hair, beauty and cosmetic industry in to four different categories which are; Groomers, Artists, Stylists and Therapists.
