Fresha, the beauty and wellness marketplace platform, has announced a new investment and partnership with Yuv, an innovative company specializing in AI-powered hair colour technology. While the investment amount remains undisclosed, this collaboration marks a significant step for Fresha as it aims to enhance its offerings for salons and beauty professionals globally.
This announcement follows Fresha’s recent achievement of securing a $31 million venture debt facility from JP Morgan just two months prior. To date, the company has raised over $185 million in venture capital, including a substantial $150 million Series C round in 2021 led by General Atlantic.
The partnership with Yuv positions Fresha to solidify its status as a leading platform in the beauty industry. With a network of over 120,000 beauty businesses worldwide—primarily focused on the UK, US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and Europe—Fresha is poised to leverage this collaboration to bring unparalleled innovation and efficiency to hair colouring services, which are crucial revenue drivers for salons.
Fresha aims to revolutionize the hair colouring process through Yuv’s advanced technology. This integration promises to enhance precision, streamline inventory management, and provide personalized and consistent services to clients. Key features of Yuv’s technology include:
Personalized Colour Formulas: Salons can save individualized hair colour formulas in customer profiles, ensuring tailored experiences for every client.
Improved Inventory Management: The technology automates product usage tracking and restocking processes, offering real-time insights into inventory levels.
Quality Service Delivery: By simplifying the complexities of hair colouring, the partnership enables salons to provide high-quality, customized services, boosting client loyalty and repeat business.
In addition to improving service quality, Yuv’s technology contributes to environmental sustainability, reinforcing Fresha’s commitment to responsible business practices.
William Zeqiri, Founder and CEO of Fresha, expressed enthusiasm about the partnership, stating, “Investing in Yuv aligns with our mission to provide the most advanced tools to beauty professionals. Hair colouring is a cornerstone of the salon business, and by addressing the complexities of this service, we’re adding significant value to our platform.”
As this collaboration unfolds, it is expected to enhance the operational efficiency of salons, setting a new standard for hair colouring services in the beauty industry.
