43rd THE TOUCH OF PARIS – CONVENTION AND FAIR OF COSMETICS

While the premier regional convention showcases the latest in global hair care, esthetics, and health, SalonGrid debuted to solve a growing, invisible problem: the operational chaos that occurs when a service-based business actually starts growing. Historically, no booking platform was built for the reality of the beauty industry, where a single service can have dozens of variations and completely different prices. As a result, professionals lose hours to unpaid consultations, and direct messages flood with questions from clients trying to navigate confusing menus.

To solve this, SalonGrid provides a structured, automated menu that shows a professional’s full range of work and automatically sets the right price for every variation. This allows clients to book seamlessly without the endless back-and-forth. By providing everything needed for a frictionless client booking experience, automated retention, and backend oversight, SalonGrid equips business owners with the tools to manage their calendar, time, and finances effectively.

David Praise Chukwuma Kalu, Founder and CEO of SalonGrid, explained: “A career in beauty and grooming is uniquely powerful. It is flexible, deeply entrepreneurial, and completely AI-resistant—it is one of the last industries built entirely on human connection and human hands. But while most professionals are taught the craft, they are rarely taught the business. Every talented professional deserves to know how to build an empire around their skill, not just survive inside one. We built SalonGrid to be the system that makes all of that work for you, instead of through you.”
