This chapter explores the ways intimacy is encountered and navigated within the South Asian beauty industry in Los Angeles, a burgeoning market that has garnered mainstream appeal in recent years as it branches out from diasporic communities in the United States. While intimacy can produce affective bonds of loyalty between clients and estheticians and ultimately for the business, it argues that the achievement of intimacy within an ethnicized service sector rests precariously on the negotiation and fulfilment of classed, gendered, and racialized expectations of its workers. By exhibiting how intimacy constitutes the various relationships comprising this niche field, this chapter examines how a capitalist-driven industry in the era of multicultural consumption commodifies intimacy and authenticity within a global marketplace.

The chapter will extend upon the extant literature by considering the permissibility of crowdfunding practices within the South Asian region. There is a genuine dearth of research considering these matters, with little research considering the history and permissibility of crowdfunding methodologies within the noted nations. As such the contribution of the chapter is twofold, firstly it represents amongst the first coherent assessments of the use of crowdsourcing based fundraising methodologies within the South Asian region. Secondly it responds to the dearth of research considering the legal permissibility of such practices within the noted nations, while also contrasting the regulatory models of India, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka with the regulatory models evidenced within selected OECD countries and pertinently the recently reformed model of regulation within the United States, specifically chapter 12 of the Jobs Act (2013).
