How it works

Getting started

  2. 2Salons, schools, and brands build a branded BEAUTISTA career page and share the link or a QR code to drive one-click applications.
  3. 3Owners vet candidates by portfolio, message directly through the platform, and build a year-round funnel so hiring doesn't happen out of desperation.
  4. 4Members level up between roles through on-demand classes from partner brands and earn community badges that show up on their portfolio.
