TORONTO — BeautyDial today launched a free AI-powered platform aimed at helping independent beauty providers in Canada attract new clients without paying commissions, while enabling budget-conscious consumers to compare prices and find affordable services. The platform uses AI voice technology to call local providers on behalf of clients, collect pricing and availability, and deliver multiple competitive quotes within minutes.
Unlike traditional marketplaces that take 15-25% of every booking, BeautyDial charges providers no listing fees, subscriptions, or commissions, allowing them to keep 100% of their earnings. Clients pay a modest $5.99 service fee only when they confirm a booking, which covers the convenience of streamlined price comparison and booking.
“We’re not here to take money from hardworking beauty professionals,” said Josh Agho, founder of BeautyDial. “These are small business owners, independent stylists, and entrepreneurs who’ve been squeezed by rising costs and platform fees. We built BeautyDial so they can focus on their craft while we bring them clients—at no cost to them.”
The platform addresses challenges faced by thousands of independent beauty providers across Canada, including hairstylists, lash technicians, nail artists, makeup artists, and wellness practitioners. Social media algorithms, costly traditional advertising, and high commission fees have made finding new clients increasingly difficult and expensive. BeautyDial flips this model by delivering pre-qualified leads from real clients ready to book, without charging providers.
“I was paying hundreds in fees every month just to be listed on other platforms,” said Destiny M., a lash technician in Mississauga. “With BeautyDial, I get calls about real clients in my area, I quote my price, and I keep every dollar. It’s changed everything for my business.”
For consumers, BeautyDial eliminates the hours of research typically required to find an affordable beauty provider. Clients describe what they want, set their budget, and receive multiple quotes from verified local providers within minutes. They can compare prices, review portfolios and ratings, and choose the option that fits their budget without awkward price negotiations.
“I used to feel embarrassed asking stylists for their prices upfront,” said Amara K., a BeautyDial user in Toronto. “Now I see all my options laid out with clear pricing. I found an amazing braider who fit my budget perfectly. I saved money and got exactly what I wanted.”
BeautyDial’s business model reflects a community-first mission. The platform charges providers nothing and applies a small service fee to clients, roughly the cost of a coffee, for the convenience of transparent pricing and quick booking. “We believe everyone deserves access to quality beauty services, regardless of budget,” said Agho. “And we believe providers deserve to keep what they earn.”
The platform launches with coverage across major Canadian cities including Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal, Calgary, Edmonton, Ottawa, Winnipeg, Halifax, and surrounding communities. Services include hair styling and braiding, lash extensions, nail services, makeup artistry, skincare and facials, and massage therapy.
