Maybe she’s born with it. Maybe it’s THIS APP :
If you did not know by now, I'm a major app girl. Every major function of my work and personal life is made easier due to one app or another. And so when two weeks ago I was approached by PRIV to try out and review their new beauty on-demand app ( and get my grooming done at home so I can do more work at the same time?!), to say I was enthusiastic was an understatement.
I know there are a whole bunch of beauty service apps out there now - but I can safely say this is by far the most comprehensive. Here are the services provided by Priv in a nutshell:
Fitness - Personal Training, Yoga & Kickboxing
Massage - All Kinds of Massage including Prenatal Massage
Makeup - Brow Shaping, Makeup Application, Countouring, Airbrushing & Makeup Lessons
Hair Services - Haircuts, Blowouts, Updos, Braids and Dry Styling, Children Haircuts
Spray Tans - Airbrush Tan from the comfort of your home.
Men's Grooming - Haircuts, Haircut with Upper Body Grooming, Mustache and/or Beard Trim & Style, MENicures
The best thing about Priv is that for most of the services, you can book a group service - so if you ever want to schedule a girl's night in with some beauty treatments scheduled in, Priv is your go-to app. Sounds exciting yes? I also heard that there are plans to have at-home lash extension services.
So for my review, I decided to go with a spa manipedi. My nail specialist is the lovely Teresa Nguyen who showed up with loads of these Deborah Lipmann polishes (she swears by them) and all the tools needed for a nail service in her wheelie.
My spa manipedi service was $90 flat because all tip and gratuities are included which is another great feature of Priv. All their services range from $50 to $350 all in, and when I consider the time that I save not having to go out, drive, get parking, drive back etc. I think the price point is very reasonable.
And PS : Here's why you should think twice before going for that $20 nail service at the nail salon.
The Priv app is really simple to use. All you have to do is:
Enter your deets aka Your Name, Address and Credit Card Information.
Pick the service(s) you want.
Schedule A Service. ( Note : Don't get confused when you see your provider being available only for one time slot. Click on his or her profile and you can see other time slots available.)
You will get an email confirmation from Priv.
On the day of service, there is no need to tip or pay via cash. Everything is done by your service provider via Priv.
Take a photo and/or give feedback about your service provider by the app. Service providers with higher ratings naturally will get booked more/often.
Repeat as needed.

What are you waiting for?
Get a $20 credit when you download and use Priv for your next beauty service.

Looks like an All-In-One app! I like it, even my husband can benefit from it – MENicures? that’s cute! Thanks for sharing this info, Heidi 🙂
Oh, this one’s better than the one I last downloaded. So, Priv got services available in LA, London, Hamptons, NYC and Austin… I wish they can be reached here in Vegas…
Wow, that’s a lot of services from an app. Gonna download this real quick and tell my friends in LA so we check Priv out and indulge in their treatments and services. The cost and tips aren’t so bad, it’s really affordable 🙂
A 20% credit when I download the Priv app? Wow, that’s awesome! thanks for sharing this info!
It’s not 20% , but $20 off : )

Fitness , Massage, Makeup (with lessons), Hair Services, Spray Tans, even Men’s Grooming – oh this is really a one-stop shop/service app! Thanks for sharing this info to us!
I haven’t heard about this before, this is so cool! I hope Priv services are offered in my area too, I could really benefit from the massages and exercises given the amount of work I’ve been doing for this past couple of weeks. A relaxing massage and all sorts of pampering is exactly what I need.
Oh I downloaded Prv app and have also I tried that deborah lipmann nail polishes, really outstanding service and nail beautifully efficient!
$20 discount, is this for real? Oh thanks for sharing this, I better download this now.
I like this app and the services being offered. Good thing it’s available in my location. Looking forward to using Priv 🙂
I went to the link for Priv app and it impressed me. A beauty and welness app, catering to our lifestyle essentials, including men’s mani-pedi hygiene.. Wow, I like it a lot. I’m gonna tell my boyfriend about this so we can set our appointments. Thanks for the share!
Priv is indeed a cool app. I’ve finally downloaded it and have booked an appointment for this weekend here in OC. Yay!
Will check this out as soon as I get off from work. It’s time for me to have some relaxing time and my nails could use some acrylic designs too. Thanks for sharing this, ladies!
It’s nice to know that Priv also gives importance to its service providers by acknowledging them with ratings. It was a nice touch!
Hmm, this looks nice and easy to use. I’m gonna try it out myself. Thanks
This is nice, not only does it provide great personal service, the service providers are also given importance through ratings. Thanks for sharing this to us.
Oh they offer pre-natal massages? that’s great! I’m on my 20th week and I need to relax and de-stress, what with all the weight I’m gaining. I think Priv would be a valuable tool for me, so I can ask for massage services at my house. THanks for this wonderful news!
I just want to ask, do thy offer beauty tips too, when they do make-ups and cosmetics? This sounds like a promising service, and easily accessed through an app. I’m impressed!
Too bad this isn’t available in my area 🙁 I wish they’d open their services all throughout the country. I could use this one a lot 🙂
Thanks for sharing your review, Heidi. I would also love a mani-pedi when I finally download this app. Their service sounds quite promising.
I have to say, Priv people really provide outstanding customer service. Thanks for introducing this app to us, Heidi 🙂
Priv services and Priv app are both highly recommended. I’ve used the app and have had wonderful, relaxing massage experience with one of their expert masseurs. Would book an appointment again real soon!
I downloaded this and still exploring the many possibilities of home-service pampering. Hopefully this week, I’d be able to setup an appointment amid my busy sked.
This aint available yet in my place, but I hope it does open here soon. Thanks for this recommendation.
This is great! I also had hair & make-up + mani-pedi just last week with 2 very competent and friendly beauty specialists. Thanks for suggesting this app 🙂
I love this app, very efficient and practical. And the service staff are always on time and diligent. Priv is great!
Wow, mayb this is just the app I’ve been waiting for! Thank you for recommending this. I sure hope it’s available on my location. Gotta have that appointment really soon!
I could use a little pampering every once in a while. Thanks for sharing this, I just learned there’s Priv here in my place in Austin. Gotta try their services real soon!
Oh thanks for that tip, or more like a notice, about getting $20 nail service. It’s quite expensive indeed. Might as well check out Priv
I’m grateful for this info. I will check Priv out and hopefully will be able to get their services one of these days.
Just curious – what are blowouts? something to do with the hair, I presume? Anyway, this Priv service will most definitely be sought-after service and I’m gonna download this app to get my appointment soon.
Reading your post’s title, I thought you were referring to another cosmetic product, I even sang to it (LOL). I very much like to take a look at this priv app you mentioned and hopefully get to use it soon.
Here’s hoping that their services would expand outside US, probably here in Asia soon!
Really? I’ll get a $20 credit when I download this app? I better try this then. Thanks much!
Oh, I haven’t heard about this app before, it sounds really cool. Will check this one later, thanks!
I thought I’m a major app girl too. Why haven’t heard about this? I would surely love to download this app. Now, let me check if Priv is available in my area….
I love Priv, too. Been using this app for months now and been enjoying the perks of weekly appointment with the best facial services and professionals here in NYC
This is great, my husband would definitely want to have some relaxing time like having massages with me. I’ll download this and let’s see how Priv will fare with us 🙂
The people/support staff from Priv are really approachable and professional, I enjoyed my home massage a week ago. Thanks!
I love this app service. Priv really trained its employees because the ones who went to my house for massage and menicures were all amazing and professional!
I’m a major app girl too, I want to make sure I know which ones are the latest and hippest trends in the market. I’ve seen and downloaded Priv before and I’ve made friends with the wonderful staff who occasionally help me with my manicures, massages and cosmetic needs. Thanks for this app!
I wish they’re available at my place.. Hopefully soon!
I love it whenever you share with us readers the apps that’s going around lately. I love seeing new apps and be in with the IT crowd. Thanks for telling us about this.
How come my wife haven’t told me about this? We usually go to spa together to have our massages and foot spa. This one, Priv, will benefit the both of us now that we are both busy at work and have not much time to go out. It’s best to use this service at our home together at our convenient time. I better tell her about this. Thank you.
Happy to help! I hope you and your wife share some quality time together this holiday season!
This is an exciting app, I have downloaded it and have used their services and the people behind Priv had been really great!
I think this is a great service and app, helps a lot of busy woman like us. THanks Priv
When my friends and I were invited to a bridal shower party, we opted to book a group service from Priv and it was such a great experience. Thanks so much for suggesting this app and service, Heidi, it was really relaxing and exciting bonding moment for us!
I’m so thankful for the generation today because we get to experience convenience, comfort and practicality by using apps that help ease our lives. During my time, gadgets and apps like this don’t exist, I had to go around town and find the best place where I could relax and forget the hustle and bustle of the city. But now, with just a click on the mouse or tap of a keyboard, I can find the best people and apps and services at the convenience of my own home. Just like this Priv app. Lucky for me, their services are available in my city. Truly liberating!
You’re so right! In this day and age it is so much easier to find exactly what you are looking for and the best place to find it. Kids these days won’t know how good they have it 😉
This is so convenient! The luxury of spa treatments right at the heart of my home! I am so going to use this app really soon!
I think I found the perfect gift for my girl. This app should help me solve my problems. Ha! A day of spa and beautifying, definitely what mah girl wants. Thanks fo this!
I hope this app and service is available in Asia. I would be so pleased to be one of their customers. Plus, it is quite affordable and practical, so here’s hoping they expand their services all over the world!
I’ve just set an appointment for next week using the Priv app. I was delighted when I saw in their page that they’re available here. Yay!
I wonder if we have Priv here in Boston. I better check it out. Thanks
This is practicality, convenience and affordability rolled into one! Thanks for sharing about Priv. Hope to get it downloaded soon
Maybe this is what I need after a month long stress at work. Yay!
