GastGo is an app for independent professionals and busy clients designed bring together professionals in the hair and beauty industry (hairstylists, barbers, beauty therapists, massage therapists, make-up artists, henna artists, nail technicians etc). GastGo is designed to provide independent professionals a unique platform for managing their businesses and busy lifestyles efficiently. GastGo app allows independent professionals to set up a profile, and promote their services and location to both new and existing clients. GastGo provides the independent professionals full control of setting their own prices, working days and hours. Place of business for the professional can be either in a shop/salon or home based. The professionals have the ability of changing their location and not have to go through the trouble of informing their clients. GastGo provides clients with flexibility and convenience to search for professionals anywhere in the UK and USA including live location. Clients are able to view the professionals’ service offering, pricing, read their previous reviews, feedback, check their diary for availability and book an appointment at any time without the hassle of making phone calls during business hours. GastGo enables the professional to focus on what they do best and avoid the hustle of dealing with answering phone calls, marketing, advertisement, payment process and managing their diaries and bookings. Payments for all services booked are processed on the day of the service booked and rendered via GastGo. All funds are transferred directly to the professional’s bank account once a week. GastGo prompts the client to provide feedback of their experience with the professional once they have received a service, and in turn, the professional will be prompted to provide client feedback. We continue to improve GastGo app on regular basis, iron out any bugs and add new features. Please visit our website for more information on GastGo or contact us via email on our website if you have any questions or suggestions. Please contact us if you have any questions or need help to either sign-up as a client or an independent professional.
