Inspired by the success of such apps as Gettaxi and Uber, two Moscow entrepreneurs have just launched GetNowBeauty, a mobile app that allows you to call to your home or office a hairdresser, facial aesthetic, hair removal or nail manicure specialist. To develop the service, former bank legal adviser and singer Anna Korona — whose real name is Anna Yapryntseva — and her husband Zakhar Shatrov have raised no less than $2 million from an individual investor, reported CNews.ru earlier this month.
This undisclosed investor is a real estate businessman with no previous investment in the high tech sector, Korona and Shatrov told CNews.
