Built around how providers actually work.
LOTACHI is an early-stage marketplace helping London training providers reach Chi Chis — LOTACHI community members looking for model opportunities — for practical training, assessments, demonstrations and portfolio work. It's being shaped through conversations with tutors, academies, clinics and training providers about how model recruitment and practical-session logistics work today.
Fill difficult, specialist and last-minute requirements
LOTACHI is being built to help you fill difficult, specialist and last-minute model requirements — without relying only on social posts, mailing lists and manual outreach.
Reach a wider pool, without replacing your booking system
Reach a wider pool of potentially suitable models — without replacing your existing booking or practice-management system. LOTACHI is designed to sit alongside it, not instead of it.
Be specific about who you're looking for
During the pilot, tell us the hair types, skin types or other characteristics a session is seeking or equipped to work with, so we can help match people more likely to be a fit — rather than that being guessed from appearance.
Be clear about photos, video and aftercare
Set out what any photos or video are for and whether consent will be needed separately from the treatment itself. Once booking functionality exists, you'll attach your own written aftercare and contact details directly to each booking.
Reach people outside your existing database
LOTACHI is being built to help you extend beyond your current customer list and social following to a wider pool of interested people.
Recruit last-minute replacements
When a model drops out, LOTACHI aims to help you reach suitable people quickly instead of starting your search from scratch — this is one of the workflows we're testing during the pilot.
A pool of returning models — planned
Keeping track of people who've been a good fit before, so you can invite them back for future sessions, is part of the direction we're exploring as LOTACHI develops.
Reduce repetitive admin
LOTACHI aims to reduce the time you spend re-posting the same requirement across multiple group chats and social channels.
Future matching and workflow tools
As LOTACHI develops, we're exploring tools to help manage interest, bookings and replacements more systematically.
Founding Provider Pilot — no subscription, fee only after verified attendance.
No subscription and no set-up cost. During the pilot you tell us what you need, we recruit and match Chi Chis for you, and a successful-fill fee applies only once a LOTACHI-recruited Chi Chi has attended and you've confirmed it. The fee is set out in a short pilot agreement with you before we start, and may differ for standard and urgent or hard-to-fill requirements.
Chi Chis pay you directly for any priced opportunity — LOTACHI doesn't handle treatment payments during the pilot. Pilot places are limited, and pricing for the wider platform will be set separately, based on what we learn.
Join the Founding Provider PilotBuilt with real conversations, not guesswork
Built with input from tutors, academies, clinics, salons and real model users. We don't name individuals or organisations we speak with without their permission, but LOTACHI's direction is shaped directly by them.
