BelezaPT — Beauty & Wellness Discovery & Instant Booking Platform for Portugal

The Problem

Finding and booking a beauty appointment in Portugal is stuck in the WhatsApp/phone call era. Consumers scroll Instagram to discover salons, then message via DM or WhatsApp, wait for a reply, negotiate a time slot, and often get ghosted or forgotten. For salons, no-shows cost 15-20% of revenue, and managing bookings via WhatsApp messages is chaotic as they scale past 3-4 staff members.

Meanwhile, in the UK (Treatwell, Booksy), Germany (Treatwell), and even Spain (Treatwell launched), consumers can instantly discover salons by service type, read verified reviews, see real-time availability, and book in 30 seconds. Portugal is notably absent from most major platforms' active markets.
