You know how it blows not having your desired haircut, right? You show all thos reference photos to the hairdresser, but he/she almost always does it wrong. Thankfully, I have a skilled hair stylist that takes care of my haircuts - she knows how to cut and style it in a way that would perfectly complement my face. But just days ago, I learned that the salon she was working at was closing down. I was so worried about having my bad hair days back that I contacted my trusted hairstylist right away. She doesn't have any space to work in plus her home was multiple rides away from the city where her customers and patrons, which makes doing home service harder for her.

So I suggested using this app called Salons In The Loop, it connects salon professionals and salon owners into creating a partnership where professionals can rent unused spaces at a salon. In this way, professionals can have their own space for customers to come into - a space where it is much more visible to the public eye. On the other hand, salon owners can profit from their unused spaces by posting it on the website and leasing it professionals who are in need of workspace. The best part of it all is it's FREE! Signing up on the website, putting up your space for rent, and renting the area are free of charge! Only a 10% connection fee shall be charged once the professional gets booked by a client through the website. Not only can professionals rent spaces, but salon owners can also seek help and hire professionals with a certain specialty to work and assist them in the salon. Salon owners can go to the website and browse through professional profiles that would suit their salon's needs. When a salon owner is ready to book a professional, that will be the only time a sign up is needed. Through the website, a salon owner can reach professionals with a special skill - such as kid stylist, braiders, weavers, color specialists, shampoo tech, etc. - and set a schedule of when the professional can come in the salon, and book the request.

Salons In The Loop does not only cater to salon owners and professionals, but engages with salon clients as well. I, as a frequent salon goers, find it more convenient to just sign up on the website, select the "Name My Own Price" feature, complete the form provided along with the desired date, time, and the service to be done, search a professional enlisted in the website, book a request, and I'm good to go! I can choose whether to do my service in a salon or have the professional come over to my house. For the time being, since my hair stylist doesn't have any workplace yet, I prefer her coming to my own home and doing everything there. Plus, I get to name my own price! It's easy, convenient, and affordable all at the same time!

It really blows my mind how an app can literally make my life easier. Salons In The Loop helps me save time, energy, and money with its advanced features that does not only aim to benefit me as a client, but also caters to the needs of professionals in the beauty industry. Now, me and my hair stylist never have to worry - thanks to Salons In The Loop, no more bad hair days for me and more opportunities for her!
