Pawel Netreba passionately speaking about what Bfab is all about.

It is an online marketplace for beauty and wellness, where users can book for hair, massage, spa, nail, waxing and makeup services with various salons listed on the platform. In addition, the portal also allows users to compare prices, and comment and rate the services.

The instant booking CRM system gives the ability for users to view available slots at the salons in real time, book the service and receive confirmation instantly, claims the startup.

“The online beauty industry in Malaysia has been practically absent. Apart from Groupon, which has been pushing for beauty promotions/deals through its online channel, no beauty provider (with some exceptions) provides online appointments. At the moment, there’re several marketplace players similar to ours evolving in the country, but all lack in funding, relevant background and the technology,” Netreba told e27 in an interview.

In just within two months of its soft launch, the startup said that it has already signed up around 350 salons in Klang Valley, including A Cut Above, Amante, Mandara Spa, The Soloist Salon, Kimarie and Makeover Hair Salon.


“By bringing customers and salons together onto one marketplace, we help salons to push their online presence/exposure, bringing them new customers and hence increased revenues and profitability. This can make the difference,” said Gaydar.

With Bfab, you can now book your service anytime, anywhere and 24/7! Even if you book at 2am, the real-time booking system will make sure you’ll find the free time slot and will be able to book the appointment instantly.

For convenience, users will receive confirmation and reminder emails / sms, historic and upcoming booking overview, and the ability to add salons as favorites, add a credit card by using their secure system.

They have also revealed that these services will be available at your own home, office or event by using their concierge service option.
