Profile and portfolio
Each person has a profile with their craft, years of work, skills, a grid of their best looks and short reviews from clients. They can follow others and send messages.

Salonloop: Beauty Professionals Network App
Salonloop is a network app designed and built by our team, where hair stylists, nail artists, makeup artists and skin therapists show their work, find jobs, take short courses and talk to each other. Salons post jobs and review applicants on the web.

The brief
What the beauty trade needs
Beauty professionals build their name through their work, but their work is spread across many places. Photos sit in a phone gallery, a social media page and a few chats with clients. A new salon looking to hire has no easy way to see it all.
Finding a job is just as scattered. Posts in group chats, word of mouth and notice boards. Learning new skills means searching for videos with no way to show that the course was finished.

1
One place for a portfolio
A professional should be able to show their best work, their skills and what clients say about them, in one profile.
-
2
A real jobs board
Jobs should show the pay, the hours and the distance, and let a person apply with their profile in one tap.
-
3
Short courses that count
Lessons should be quick to watch on a phone, and a finished course should appear on the profile.

A friendly community
People want to share tips, ask questions and see work from others in their craft, without noise from other topics.
What we designed
Inside Salonloop
These are the main parts of Salonloop.
Community feed
The feed shows work, tips and questions from people the user follows and from groups they have joined, such as bridal makeup or colour. Posts can have photos or short videos.
Jobs board
Jobs can be filtered by craft, pay, hours and distance. Each job card shows the salon, the pay and how long ago it was posted. Applying uses the person's profile, so there is no long form.
Hiring console for salons
A salon posts a job and sees applicants in four stages: new, shortlist, trial day and offer. Each card shows the person's portfolio size and review score.
Short courses
Courses are made of short video lessons with progress shown at the top. A person can watch on a phone between clients. A final quiz gives a certificate.
Groups and safety
Groups focus on one craft or one city. Admins can remove posts, and members can report anything unsuitable. Job posts are checked before they go live.

How it works
Key journeys, step by step
Here is how the main tasks work in Salonloop, from the first profile to a new job.
Build a profile
A colourist signs up, adds her skills and uploads her best looks. Clients can leave short reviews after a visit.
Find a job
She filters jobs by hair, full time and 15 km. She saves two and applies to one with her profile.
Hire someone
A salon owner reads the applicants, moves three to the shortlist, books trial days and sends one an offer.
Keep learning
Between clients she watches a lesson from a balayage course, finishes the quiz and sees the certificate on her profile.

FAQ
Questions about building a product like Salonloop
What is a network for beauty professionals?
It is an app for people who work in beauty: stylists, nail artists, makeup artists and skin therapists. They show their work in a portfolio, follow each other, find jobs, learn new skills and ask for advice.
Which features should a professional network app launch with?
Start with profiles that show photos of real work, a jobs board and applying in a few taps. The feed, courses and messages can follow once people are posting and applying.
Can you build a beauty community app like this for my business?
Yes. We can build the mobile app, the web side for salons and the admin tools, and add your own courses, groups or brand rules.
How do salons use it?
A salon posts a job, reads the applicants' portfolios and reviews, moves people through stages such as shortlist and trial day, and sends an offer in the same place.
Can the courses give a certificate?
Yes. In this design each course ends with a short quiz. A person who passes it gets a certificate that appears on their profile.
