Have you heard about it yet? A new, innovative hairdresser platform has recently gone online. Hairinspo is the first community & search platform for hairdressers. Its goal is to unite the entire hairdressing industry on one platform.
Imagine a platform that combines Google Search, Google Maps, Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest and LinkedIn, tailored to one industry. As a salon or stylist, you can create a profile and present yourself. You can share your work like on Instagram, search for workshops or offer and publish your own workshops. They have an integrated job platform where you can search for jobs or new employees. A marketplace where old furniture, tools, products or properties can be sold, and if you need help with your salon business, you can also find the right service providers and partners for all your needs. The platform is completely free except for job postings.

Create your salon or stylist profile

As a salon, you can create a salon profile and store all relevant information such as opening hours, contact details, online booking tool, salon description and salon images. You can connect with your employees or brands carried in the salon and will then also appear in the respective stylist or brand profiles. Employees can create a stylist profile and connect with the salon. All their published work is automatically integrated into the salon profile. The reach of your profile increases the more you connect with other profiles or interact with them.

Share your work where customers are looking for it

A special highlight is the hairstyle image search. Customers can search for their desired hairstyle using search filters and find all the work of salons & stylists in their area who have already implemented exactly that style. The nice thing about it? It's not like Instagram, where you have to post your image at a certain time to get visibility, constantly interact or comment. Your work will always be found and with a click on your profile, they can book an appointment with you directly. You can also use your profile as a hairstyle book right away.
And there's another cool feature. What followers are on Instagram, are Inspos on their platform – the charming way of saying that the quality of your work has convinced and inspired. So if you like the work of other stylists or salons, you can give them an Inspo. This expands your network and inspires others with your work.

The latest job platform in the hairdressing industry

Everyone knows them. Job platforms or Facebook groups where salons search for employees and post their job listings. So why another job platform and what sets it apart from all the others?
Simple – most platforms or groups are only focused on jobs. That's why mostly only employers are active on them. Hairinspo has managed with their platform to create a site where stylists and job seekers move and connect every day, and directly connect the job offers with the salon profiles and all other features.
