There are a few things in life that just can't be postponed. A pedicure is one of them.
But what happens when your go-to salon has no appointments available? The team behind the new site prettyquick.com has your solution.
This site really does make it easier than ever to get pretty quickly: The user just has to select the services he or she needs on a smartphone, the most convenient time frame, and plug in an address to filter results by proximity – a list of available times at Chicago salons appears immediately.
Chicagoan Coco Meers founded Pretty Quick to give busy women easy access to the best services in the beauty industry. It's a one-stop destination for women who need a service but just don't have time to make all the calls needed to find an appropriate time and location.
As if all that weren't enough, the service automatically charges the card you register with Pretty Quick – no need to take your wallet out of your bag and ruin the mani that matches your pedi.
And we thought Uber was genius.
