Fresha

Fresha is expanding in Poland! 🇵🇱 The number of active partner businesses using Fresha in Poland has grown by 296% year on year. To build on that momentum, we’ve opened a larger Warsaw office and appointed Maciej Walczewski as General Manager for Eastern Europe. Maciej brings nearly 13 years of experience scaling technology and marketplace businesses across Central and Eastern Europe. He’ll lead our Polish strategy, grow our local team and help more beauty and wellness businesses benefit from Fresha’s connected platform. We’re so excited to deepen our relationships with Polish businesses and support the next stage of growth across the country’s beauty and wellness industry.

Our highest employee engagement score yet: 8.5/10 🎉 Twice a year, everyone at Fresha gets the chance to share honest feedback about what it's really like to work here. We ask the questions that actually matter. Do you trust the people around you? Do you see how your work fits the bigger picture? Do you feel supported by your manager? Can you speak openly? We ask because Fresha is only as strong as the people behind it. A great product needs a great team, and a culture where people feel supported, valued and heard. This time, 92% of us took part, with an overall score of 8.5/10, the best we've seen (swipe below for the full breakdown👇🏼) Scores like these don't happen by accident. They come from listening, acting on what we hear, and building a workplace we're all proud of. To every person who shared honestly, thank you. This is what we build on 💜

As we look back on HairCon 2026, we're reflecting on what our first year as HairCon's Premier Partner has meant for Fresha. Events like HairCon are about far more than brand visibility. They're an opportunity to strengthen relationships, better understand the needs of our industry, and create meaningful commercial impact through genuine, face-to-face conversations. Our UK&I General Manager, Tom Humphreys, summed up the significance of our first year perfectly: "This was year one of our five-year Premier Partnership with HairCon, and we couldn’t have asked for a stronger opening chapter. 30+ Fresha team members on the ground, having real conversations with the people who run some of the UK’s best salons and barbershops and the results to show for it: a strong pipeline of new partnerships built entirely through face-to-face relationship work. This is exactly the bet we made when we committed to HairCon. Proximity to the industry. Genuine trust. Commercial outcomes that follow from both. Year two is already on the radar." We can't wait to make next year even bigger and better 🚀

Cash flow doesn't always line up with opportunity. For many of our partners, it's the single biggest barrier to growth. That's exactly why we built Fresha Capital 🚀 Since launching, we've now issued over $12 million in funding to beauty and wellness businesses across seven global markets, helping salon owners, barbers, and wellness professionals navigate the moments that can make or break a business. Mark Maciver, founder of SliderCuts and barber to LeBron James and Stormzy, is one example. When a refurbishment spiralled, Fresha Capital provided same-day funding based entirely on his sales through Fresha. His story was featured in The Times this week. Here's how it works: ✅ Pre-approved offers based on your sales performance through Fresha Payments ✅ Loan amounts from approximately $600 to $110,000 ✅ Funds accessible the same day ✅ Repayment automatically adjusts as a percentage of daily sales. You pay more when business is good, and less when it's not. If you're a Fresha partner using Fresha Payments, check your account to see if you have a pre-approved offer waiting.

And that's a wrap HairCon 2026 🫱🏻🫲🏼💜 What an incredible weekend at the UK's biggest event for the hair and barbering industry. From inspiring conversations to exciting collaborations, it was one to remember. We can't wait to show you what we've been up to!
