Could you start by telling us a bit about yourself and your journey in the barbering industry?
Well, my name is Daniel, and I've been a barber for about seven years now. I started off working in a local barbershop here in London and gained some valuable experience. As time went on, I began to dream of having my own place, creating a unique space for my clients.
How did you come across Glambook, and how did it play a role in helping you start your own business?
I stumbled upon Glambook when I was searching for ways to expand my client base. I was looking for a platform that could connect me with new clients and help me manage my appointments more efficiently. Glambook seemed like the perfect fit. It's a beauty booking app that connects service providers with potential clients, making it easier for people to find and book beauty services.
Here are some of numbers that highlight the benefits of Glambook:
- Reviews Boost: 90% of Daniel's clients found him through Glambook, with positive reviews contributing to a 40% growth in his client base
- Increased Client Base: Daniel experienced a 30% increase in new clients within the first month of joining Glambook.

Can you walk us through how Glambook supported you in transitioning to become an independent barber?
Absolutely. Glambook made it incredibly easy for me to create a professional profile showcasing my skills, services, and availability. Clients could find me easily through the app, and the booking system allowed them to schedule appointments at their convenience. This not only brought in new clients but also helped me manage my schedule more efficiently.
Did you face any challenges during this transition, and how did Glambook assist you in overcoming them?
Well, starting a business is always challenging, and getting the word out about my new venture was no exception. However, Glambook has a feature that allows clients to leave reviews and ratings. Positive feedback from satisfied customers helped boost my visibility on the platform and attract even more clients. It was like word of mouth on a digital scale.

It's been an amazing journey. Having my own space allows me to create a unique atmosphere that reflects my style and personality. I've built a loyal client base, and many of them found me through Glambook. Looking ahead, I plan to continue growing my business, perhaps even expanding to additional locations. Glambook will undoubtedly remain a crucial part of that growth.
