This is the future ! ### 5/5 — Awesome!! *2020-08-26, version 2.9* Love this app!! I love being able to talk to hairdressers around the world!! Getting advice and giving advice!! I listened to my first podcast days ago.😮 20 years down !! Just recently moved to different state. I’m having to start all over with clientele in these hard times. I will definitely keep using!!! ### 5/5 — It’s like Twitter for hairdressers! *2020-08-26, version 2.9* I love how I can communicate and network wit so many beautiful and talented people !!!! The admins are very persistent that there’s nothing going wrong with the app and everybody on there is being treated with kindness and respect ! You’re going to live how this app changes your life ! ### 5/5 — They are there for you every step of the way! *2020-08-26, version 2.9* I have been on this app since it started. Everyone had great advice when I moved from a big salon to a single person studio. I still go on and I feel like a 30 year pro like I am. ### 5/5 — Best Social App for Barbers & Stylists *2020-07-10, version 2.6* This is without a doubt the best social app for barbers and stylists / salon owners , shop owners. It’s industry exclusive which is sick. I was sick of Facebook and reddit a long time ago. This is kind of like a fusion of Facebook groups, but specific to the industry. And Reddit’s Q&A, but specific to the industry. Also always has great push message updates on jobs, industry questions and news. ### 5/5 — Such a great App! *2020-06-12, version 2.5.6* This app has it all in one place! Stylist’s bios, their work, the products they know and use, the services they specialize in, etc. As a salon owner it makes it easy to get to know your applicants before you even interview them! It’s super easy to post when positions become available in the salon, and a great way to stay connected with others in our beauty industry. If your stylist, salon owner, MUA, or front desk personnel, this app is a must have! ### 5/5 — Opportunity comes knocking..... *2020-05-14, version 2.5.0* This app was suggested to me and I went to check it out.

I love that there is a place to network, ask questions, or just chat about anything industry related. It also brings together barbers estheticians, cosmetologists, makeup artists all in one app! It’s definitely a great app to have as a hairstylist! So glad I downloaded it! ### 5/5 — Great tool to navigate *2020-05-14, version 2.5.0* This is an awesome, very positive platform to connect you to other people in the hair community from all over!

I recommend it to anyone in the beauty industry. Love it! ### 5/5 — Ultimate Community Board for Beauty Pros *2020-05-11, version 2.5.0* I really enjoy using this app because it provides you with real-time information about the beauty industry and things that we can benefit from and things that we should look out for. This is good for all beauty pros! ### 5/5 — Great for stylists *2020-05-11, version 2.5.0* I love using this app. As someone who has switched careers and now about to fully enter this field, it has been great!

When I first downloaded the app it worked fine, I guess multiple updates have caused it to go haywire. I’m going to delete the app and try to download it again! ### 2/5 — Needs improvement *2020-03-12, version 2.4* Was so excited to learn about this app, but after literally trying 5 times to post a job I’m over it. It times out or just goes to a different screen without saving your progress. I have one draft saved and can’t progress through it. I have to start over every time and can’t get through to the end to actually post it. ### 2/5 — Needs Location Based Search *2019-09-12, version 1.1.1* The idea is there, but it’s not very user friendly and it’s extremely frustrating that you can’t search based on location. I’m in Orlando and finding stylists and salons in Austin TX doesn’t do me much good. The app would be way easier to use if you could search by location! ### 5/5 — Sick App to bring our industry together ! *2022-05-13, version 3.62* I came across the “ Handsome app” this past Barbercon La. Definitely glad I did! You can post your work or questions hair related or business info. Change with creatives like myself and win FREE products. Yeah it’s legit, they have really informative video’s from Andis to babyliss I instructors to Motivational speakers about how to grow. So happy I came this app! 🤙🏼🤙🏼 ### 5/5 — Great career tool *2022-05-12, version 3.61* I’ve had a lot of questions around how to grow my biz and everyone here is so helpful and willing to share. I really appreciate the community aspect of it. Where all differ types of ideas and feedback actually get me the answer I want. Sweet tool for the beauty and barber industries. Thanks!!! ### 5/5 — Best app for hair stylists! *2022-05-12, version 3.61* I love this app! It’s so helpful when it comes to educational content and being able to share creativity with other artists. I love seeing the work of other barbers and hair stylists. There is so much information on this app regarding events and educational content about different styles. Also a lot of information about how to successfully grow and promote your business, which I find very helpful. I love having a platform where I can connect with other barbers and be able to share ideas. This app is a must if you are in the beauty or grooming industry! ### 5/5 — Very Helpful App! *2022-05-12, version 3.61* This is a very helpful app if you are new to the industry and want to learn new techniques or are struggling to perfect the techniques you use. There’s not only advice and education on hair techniques, but also marketing, which is so helpful when starting a business. I also love the inspirational and positive podcasts to keep you motivated even if you’re down or ready to give up. I feel like the creators have covered every important aspect of being a barber, from business advice to new techniques. I love that it’s easy to connect to established industry pros. They give great advice! There’s also a section on the app to keep track of beauty and barber events. I plan on attending one of the conferences in the new future. My favorite part of the app is seeing the posts by users of some of the work they have done. Everyone is so talented and it is so inspirational to see their artistry. ### 5/5 — SO HELPFUL *2022-05-11, version 3.61* I’ve had this app for about a month. I use it regularly to see what new things I can learn and also some things I can share. There’s master classes available for you to listen to on your own time. This app is for the beauty industry and it’s so much better than any social media app can provide in my opinion. The sense of community is great. Everyone is super supportive and friendly. ### 5/5 — LOVE LOVE LOVE *2022-05-09, version 3.61* the best app i’ve ever used! i love this app because it has a wide range of features. everything is also very easy to maneuver. at your fingertips, you are able to choose between mentoring/finding a mentor, diagrams/techniques, and find your local friends & stylists. i love the connection on this app!! thanks -fellow hairstylist **Developer response:** Thank you so much!

Thank you!!!!❤️ ### 5/5 — Barber *2021-11-18, version 3.47* I’m Cameron Thomas a new barber. I was introduced to this app at a barber convention and it has a wealth of knowledge from various backgrounds from barbers to stylists. This app has short audio advice to keep you sharp in your craft and will keep you on the right path if you are new to the industry like me. I highly recommend for students as well as seasoned professionals. **Developer response:** Thanks for the review Cameron!

The ability to post questions and ask other beauty professionals for advice has made all the difference. Cannot recommend this app enough for beauty professionals, whether you’ve been in the industry for 15 years or one month! ### 5/5 — Great Tool for Distributors *2020-09-20, version 3.1* Just joined. Great tool for distributors to use in the industry as well. Lots of education for that reps should take advantage of being a part of & posting their education.
