As a mobile beauty platform, we are a little different from an in-person salon where a beauty therapist can be easily requested and allocated in a single location.
All requests for a specific Beauty Consultant will incur a fixed request fee of 15 SGD. When a fixed request is processed, your Beauty Consultant may not receive an optimized travel route and may be required to travel from one end of the island to the other.
