A marketplace built for trust
We are building OneServe with a few non-negotiables. These are the principles that will guide every decision.
Our 5 Core Promises
The 5 non-negotiable guarantees that protect your safety, skin hygiene, and wallet on every doorstep booking.
0% Customer Convenience Fees
You pay the exact price shown on the specialist’s rate card. No checkout convenience fees, hidden platform charges, or peak surge fees.
100% Sealed Monodose Product Kits
All facials, waxing, and treatments arrive in single-use sealed factory blister packaging and are opened right in front of you. Never generic bulk jars.
Two-Way Secret Start OTP Verification
No session begins until you share your secret 4-digit Start OTP inside your doorway, proving physical presence, timestamp, and mutual consent.
Same-Gender Safety Allocation Rule
Guaranteed female specialists for home salon and personal care, paired with our household presence rule for mutual comfort and security.
100% Government Photo KYC Checks
Every specialist undergoes government ID authentication, criminal background checks, and skill certificate vetting before accepting jobs.
Built on 6 Pillars of Excellence
Govt ID & Credential Verified
Every professional passes Government ID verification (KYC) and service credential checks before going live.
OneServe Safe promise
100% satisfaction promise. Free re-service or refund if you are not delighted.
0% Customer Commission
Transparent upfront pricing: you pay only the listed service fee + tax (e.g. ₹499 + GST). Zero hidden platform fees.
24×7 priority support
Real humans — reachable on chat, email or phone, around the clock.
Fair to professionals
Fair low ~13% platform fees with onboarding bonus jobs, scheduled settlements and transparent ratings.
Quality, not quantity
Every Pro is reviewed before going live and re-trained if quality dips.
