Do customers pay any commission fees on OneServe?

No. Customers pay 0% commission on OneServe. You only pay the transparent service rate plus applicable taxes (e.g. ₹499 + tax). We only charge a platform commission to professionals on completed jobs.

How are OneServe professionals verified?

We thoroughly verify identity (Government ID / KYC) and service-related credentials, licenses, training certificates, and experience. We do not perform police verification, but every partner is identity and skill verified before going live.

What is the same-gender presence safety rule?

To ensure safety and respect for all parties, professionals will only enter a home if an adult of the same gender as the service recipient is present. For example, if a female beauty service is booked, the female recipient must be present before the professional enters.

How does the Start OTP and SOS feature work?

A service job will only start once the professional has arrived at your doorstep and you provide the secure 4-digit Start OTP. In addition, an emergency SOS button is accessible in-app 24/7 for both customers and professionals.

Can customers view professional portfolios, ratings, and reviews?

Yes. Every professional has a public profile displaying their lookbooks, past work photos, verified credentials, average star ratings, and real customer reviews from completed bookings.

Can professionals create custom service bundles?

Yes. Professionals can package multiple services together into discounted custom bundles (e.g. Bridal Glam Package, Facial + Hair Spa combo) to increase customer savings and boost pro earnings.

Can customers verify and inspect salon products before service begins?

Yes. Customers can ask to inspect all products and kits before the service starts. Professionals are required to present sealed, original products matching the exact brand stated in the booking (e.g. L'Oréal, O3+, Lotus).

How is a service officially completed and verified?

When the service finishes, the professional uploads Before & After media proof. Then, the customer confirms completion on their app. The job is marked as done only upon customer confirmation, which deactivates the emergency SOS and opens the rating and review screen.

How to Verify a Beautician's Credentials Before Letting Them Into Your Home

Inviting a personal service professional into your home requires complete trust. Here is the definitive 6-point verification checklist to safeguard your skin, personal safety, and peace of mind.

OneServe Safety & Standards Desk

Authored by Doorstep Verification Officers · Noida Sector 62

The 30-Second Doorstep Safety Rule

Quick Reference

Before opening your door and starting a session, always ensure these 3 conditions are satisfied:

1. Face Matches App

Verify government photo ID against the app profile.

2. Sealed Kits Intact

Never allow unsealed or generic decanted jars.

3. Start OTP Shared

Only provide the PIN inside your doorway.

STEP 01Mandatory

Verify Government Photo ID at the Door

Before unlatching your main entrance, cross-verify the specialist's government photo ID (Aadhaar or Driving Licence) against their profile photo on the app. Legitimate platforms like OneServe mandate government KYC verification for every single professional before they are allowed to accept bookings.

Pro Tip: Never open your door if the person standing outside does not match the photo on your booking screen.

Red Flag Alert: Beware of unregistered third-party helpers accompanying the booked professional.

STEP 02Trust Verification

Check the Verified Platform Security Badge

A verified badge should not just be a decorative icon. On OneServe, every specialist must pass an active credential review that checks training certificates and identity background before the badge is awarded.

Pro Tip: Tap on the professional's profile to view their certified skill specializations.

STEP 03Hygiene Protocol

Inspect Sealed Manufacturer Packaging Before Use

This is the most critical hygiene protocol. Every facial tube, wax canister, and skin serum must arrive in sealed, single-use monodose packaging directly from the original brand (e.g. O3+, Lotus Herbals, Rica). The professional must break the seal in your presence.

Pro Tip: Check the expiry date and batch code printed on the foil blister pack.

Red Flag Alert: If the professional produces open jars or unlabeled bottles with handwritten marks, immediately cancel the booking.

STEP 04Digital Shield

Enforce the Secret Start OTP Protocol

Never share your Start OTP via text or phone prior to the professional's physical arrival. The Start OTP proves physical presence, provides a verifiable digital timestamp, and confirms your mutual consent to initiate the treatment.

Pro Tip: Only share the 4-digit PIN after the professional is inside and has displayed their sealed tool kit.

STEP 05Safety Policy

Adhere to Same-Gender Adult Presence Guidelines

For the safety and psychological comfort of both the client and the visiting specialist, ensure a same-gender adult is present in the residence during private home treatments. OneServe strictly standardizes this rule across its service partner code.

Pro Tip: Notify family members or flatmates in advance of your scheduled slot.

Red Flag Alert: Do not book private treatments if the household presence criteria cannot be respected.

STEP 06Emergency Ready

Confirm Emergency SOS Availability in App

Ensure your phone is charged and within reach during your appointment. Before the session begins, verify that the platform's 24/7 Emergency SOS button is active in your current booking tab.

Pro Tip: OneServe routes SOS triggers with live GPS coordinates directly to local safety support teams.

How OneServe Protects You by Default

You shouldn't have to do forensic investigations on your own. On OneServe, every specialist is KYC-vetted before their profile appears in Noida search results. We require 100% sealed product kits, mandatory two-way Start OTP, and contractually enforce same-gender adult presence rules on every single appointment.
