Uala is a Milan-based booking platform for haircuts, manicures, pedicures and massages at salons across Italy. The company, founded in 2015, offers online booking and management tools to help salons optimize operations. Uala raised €15 million from Immobiliare.it to acquire a majority stake in French booking platform Balinea and to fund expansion in France. Uala previously invested €1.5 million in Balinea in 2018. Combined, Uala and Balinea now work with more than 9,000 active salons; Uala has over 6,000 salons and Balinea around 3,000 in France, with Balinea having recorded more than one million bookings to date. The firms will join their tech teams to improve user experience and aim to become the leading online hair and beauty booking service across France, Italy, Spain, Portugal and Greece.
