Uber has just announced the the launch of a new app at Paris Fashion Week, designed to link hair salons to customers on demand.
Called bgX, the app will enable you to book a high quality blowdry or style by a top stylist at a moment’s notice, whether you are at home, at work, or at a hotel.

bgX only partners with premium salons for the service, to ensure a high threshold for competence, service quality and professionalism.
Balmain Paris Hair Couture is one of the first brands to come on board, and will act as a a strategic and educational partner with the service as well.

"It brings catwalk style right into the consumer’s home. bgX provides the consumer and the salon with a unique opportunity to have a luxury on demand service.”
