How you can book: After you select your service, a list of stylists pops up that's generally sorted by your current location. Services offered: Blowouts, facials, hair, makeup application, massages, nails, waxing. Also, though the majority of services offered through BeautyBooked are in-salon, there's a limited number of at-home options, too. Fans of Allure will like that salons that the magazine have reviewed bear their seal of approval. Special extras: Beauty Booked is one of the booking apps out there that offers an unlimited blowout package, and they'll roll out similar ones for manicures and spray tans in the future. Sample pricing: A blowout at Tribeca's Bdry is $40 a manicure at Dashing Diva in Park Slope is $18 a 30-minute massage at Midtown East's YeloSpa is $72. Other useful tabs on a salon's page give the user a general overview of the place, a map, and access to other BeautyBooked clients's reviews of it.

With this method, you can see how much the service costs before clicking into a salon's page. From here, you can pick a salon and go to the 'book' tab to see what times are available for each type of appointment (same-day only) or you could select 'Any Day Any Time' at the top of the screen, select a preferred date and time, and see what's available in and around that neighborhood. How you can book: First, choose your neighborhood, and then choose your service. Services offered: Bikini waxing, blowouts, brow maintenance, facials, hair cuts and color, makeup application, massages, nails, tanning.

You can also book workout classes at CityRow, Flex Studios, The Movement, and Peloton. Special extras: The Hannah Bronfman-backed app can save your beauty preferences (so your manicurist will know you prefer a round nail shape before you even get there, or you'd rather work with a female masseuse at the spa) and set reminders to book a service by a set time interval-useful for, say, haircuts. For manicures, the East Village's Blush Nail Lounge has an $11 appointment, or you could splurge on a $30 service at Soho Sanctuary. Sample pricing: Blowouts start at $34 at places like the Meatpacking District's Keratinbar or Soho's Haute Air and go up to $76 at Frederic Fekkai Fifth Avenue. You can also filter to find an appointment by a desired time, like after work (you can book for the same day or the next) or by a particular price point. How you can book: You can have your list of salons for a particular service sorted by proximity to your current location, the soonest one available, or budget. What you can book: Blowouts, Brazilian waxes, brow maintenance, facials, haircuts, makeup application, massages, nails. Want to get an eyebrow wax near the office on your lunch break, or have a masseuse on the way by the time you get home tonight? Then you need to see this. In the same way you've ditched that pile of takeout menus for Seamless and prefer to open Uber or Lyft instead of hailing a cab, it's time you do the same with your manicures, blowouts, and even spa services like facials.īelow, we've outlined eleven companies operating in New York City who want to help you alleviate your beauty woes, divided by whether they book you a salon appointment or come to your desired location, and then organized alphabetically. Going to your neighborhood nail salon and your trusted hair stylist for the past several years is a fine beauty routine and all, but not quite in tune with the times we live in-that is, the future.
