Top Coder Question 4

This app is not all that different from Uber or Lyft. It is an app that will get you in contact with another human but instead of a car this human will bring style to your house. This is an app that caught my interest long ago and I know many others in class will also find it interesting. It is called GLAMSQUAD. It is an app that will connect you with a makeup/stylist that will come to your home and give you a complete glamor makeover. It is just like Uber where you download the app and then make an appointment for someone to stop by at certain time. Instead of picking a location to be dropped off at, you get to pick a style package. Maybe the Bronzed Beauty or the Dreamer? The problem it is trying to solve is an interesting one. At first the company designed this for wedding emergencies. When a hair stylist didn’t show or maybe the bride thought she can do her own hair (yikes), but then it evolved and now it has expanded to help the everyday woman. This will make it so a mom doesn’t have to find the time or a babysitter to get her hair done; and any busy women can easily have her hair done in the comfort of her home, office, or hotel. This is great because if you are on vacation finding a trusting hairstylist can be hard but with this app a woman can see rating and reviews and know she is getting good service. Currently this app is only available in some big cities (phoenix was just recently added to the list!), but it is believed this app will expand to even further and become the norm.
