TechGraph: Can you explain how the on-demand booking process works for Yes Madam’s home salon services? How does the company ensure customer safety and hygiene during the pandemic?

Mayank Arya: Yes Madam is an on-demand home salon service provider that offers convenient and professional beauty services to customers in the comfort of their homes. The booking process is simple and user-friendly.

Customers can download the Yes Madam app or visit their website to book a salon service. They can select the desired service, date, time, and location for the appointment. Once the booking is confirmed, Yes Madam’s platform assigns a trained and verified beauty professional to the customer’s appointment based on availability and proximity.

The assigned beauty professional arrives at the customer’s location equipped with the necessary tools and products and provides the requested beauty service, such as facials, manicures, pedicures, spas, etc., following industry best practices. After the service is completed, customers can pay through various options provided by Yes Madam. They can also provide feedback and rate the beauty professional’s service.

During the pandemic, Yes Madam took several measures to ensure customer safety and hygiene. The brand implemented strict safety protocols and guidelines for beauty professionals, including mandatory mask-wearing, frequent hand sanitization, and regular health checks.

Convenience and Flexibility: Yes Madam offers on-demand salon services, allowing customers to book appointments at their preferred time and location. This flexibility makes it convenient for customers to receive professional beauty services at home. Not just that, we also provide customers with the convenience to book the last service professional. This is to have a better service experience and establish a rapport with the service expert.

Trained and Verified Professionals: Yes Madam ensures that all its beauty professionals are trained, skilled, and verified. They go through a rigorous selection process, including background checks, to maintain quality service standards.

Transparent Pricing: Yes Madam follows transparent pricing policies, with no hidden costs. Customers can view services & product pricing upfront and make informed decisions.

Allows customers to use their products: One of the key differentiation factors is the ease for the customer to use his/her product if they already have one at home. You may simply uncheck the product cost and only request the specific service by calling Yes Madam.

User-Friendly Technology: Yes Madam provides a user-friendly app and website, making it easy for customers to book appointments, select services, and make payments. The intuitive interface enhances the overall customer experience.

Empowerment: One of the key factors that make Yes Madam different from other providers in the segment is women’s empowerment.

TechGraph: How do you ensure customer satisfaction and maintain quality standards for your services?

Mayank Arya: Yes Madam places a strong emphasis on customer satisfaction and maintaining quality standards for its services through various measures. Firstly, all beauty professionals undergo rigorous training and verification processes to ensure they are skilled and qualified.

Customer feedback and ratings are actively encouraged and carefully reviewed to address any concerns promptly. Continuous training and development programs keep beauty professionals updated with the latest trends and techniques. Transparent pricing and detailed service information allow customers to make informed decisions. In the event of any issues, a dedicated customer support team ensures prompt issue resolution.

Yes Madam also prioritizes hygiene and safety by following strict protocols and maintaining a clean and safe environment. That’s why we ensure that the products applied to a customer’s skin come in mono-dosage which ensures one product on one customer. Along with that, every service that a service professional performs or a customer takes comes with a fresh disposable kit curated specifically according to the services like Spa, Salon & Intimate services.
