Kohlgren Industries has announced the nationwide launch of Kleo, a services marketplace showcasing local home improvement, beauty and wellness providers across more than 10 categories – with over 50 services currently listed, including hair styling, nails, lashes, makeup, aesthetics, massage, stretch therapy, personal training, yoga, acupuncture, chiropractic care, handyman work, home repair and cleaning. More categories, services and experiences are rolling out continuously. Kleo is available now on the Apple App Store and Google Play.
Kleo is built around a simple idea: small businesses and independent providers should keep their independence. Unlike traditional booking platforms that lock providers into fixed pricing, rigid commission structures or absorb their business identity, Kleo lets providers set their own rates, define their own service areas and own their client relationships. Clients, in turn, get a single trustworthy place to find vetted, rated local talent across categories – without the noise of social media or the friction of word-of-mouth referrals.
“For years, the best stylists, therapists and trainers have been doing brilliant work without a platform that actually respects them. Clients, meanwhile, have had to hop between half a dozen apps to find services across categories – and some services still don’t have a home anywhere,” said Jayden Kohlgren, Founder of Kohlgren Industries and Creator of Kleo. “Kleo flips that model. We offer providers optional identity and licence verification, keep the experience simple for clients and let providers run their businesses their way. The app is the introduction – the relationship belongs to them.”
Built for trust on both sides
Every provider can complete identity verification, photo verification and – for licensed disciplines – service licence verification against their state board records. Clients see at a glance which providers are ID-verified or licensed, view ratings from other Kleo users and compare service areas, pricing and credentials before they ever send a message.
More than a directory for providers
Beyond client discovery, Kleo gives providers a job board where local clients post specific requests, a connections system that lets each provider control outreach, in-app messaging, a guided onboarding tour and dashboards designed for solo operators rather than agencies.
Availability
Kleo is free to download for both clients and providers on iOS and Android. Providers can complete onboarding and verification entirely within the app.
