Booking a last-minute beauty appointment is a challenge. But __Hannah Bronfman, Annie Evans,andPeter Hananel__are changing the game with their new app, Beautified.

Another of the app's screens, which shows pictures, times, and price options for an appointment at the John Barrett Salon.

Through partnerships with top spas and salons, Beautified allows clients to make “on the go” appointments with the swipe of a finger. The app first began in the Big Apple—home to its three founders. The gals realized, from personal experience, just how difficult it was to book things for the same day. Between Googling to find a nearby salon, Yelping to check out a salon’s qualifications, and calling to see if there were even any openings, it was a timely process that, in a world of technological advances and instant gratification, really just didn’t make sense. And so, with true entrepreneurial spirit, they solved the beauty-booking bother.

Here’s how it works: When you log onto the app, a grid screen pops up with all of your options: massage, facial, blowout, haircut, manicure, pedicure, brow wax, bikini wax, or special. After you select your indulgence of choice, the app uses your location and quickly finds the highest-rated spas and salons close to you with availabilities in the near future. Once you select your appointment, a quick trace of the Beautified lip icon provides as your confirmation (talk about adorable).

The app benefits both the client and salons, which often lose business due to last-minute cancellations they are unable to easily fill. In New York City, Beautified partners include __Caudalie Spa, DreamDry, Frédéric Fekkai Soho, Paul Labrecque, Stark Wax, Ten over Ten, Tracie Martyn,____Warren Tricomi,and more.__In L.A., some of the offerings include __Anastasia Beverly Hills, Kate Somerville, Queen Bee, La Prairie at the Beverly Hills Hotel,andOleHenriksen.__These are all Vanity Fair Beauty–approved spots, and we could not be more impressed. The team has plans for expansion to Boston, D.C., and Miami, and just firmed up some pretty sweet spots in San Francisco, such as International Orange, Veer & Wander, Habit, and many more—so city girls can be pampered head-to-toe coast-to-coast. Whether for a hair-mergency or an impulsive massage, Beautified books it.
