Fresha provides subscription-free booking software, point-of-sale, payments and marketing tools for beauty and wellness businesses, alongside a consumer marketplace where clients find and book appointments. The company reports more than 130,000 businesses on the platform processing around 35 million appointments a month, and says it is profitable. Founded in London in 2015 by William Zeqiri and Nicholas Miller, Fresha became a unicorn in May 2026 after an $80 million growth investment from KKR's Next Generation Technology Growth fund, which valued the company above $1 billion. The new capital is earmarked for international expansion and AI-driven features for merchants.
