Our Story
What is Best-Stylist.com?
Best-Stylist.com is a members based website and mobile app for the hair and beauty industry. It’s a place to showcase the talent and creativity of individual barbers and hairstylists and put them in the driver’s seat of their career. We utilize an advanced framework that allows beauty professionals and companies to easily update and maintain a profile, where they can upload videos and photos of their actual work. The site will also provide updates on industry news and new products.
I’m Not A Beauty Professional, Is This Site For Me?
Yes, it definitely is. For starters, Best-Stylist.com
is totally free to the public. You
will be able to view professional profiles and see photos, videos, customer
reviews and more. This will give you more information to make the best choice
for all your beauty needs.
Best-Stylist Needs Your Support!
We strive to create a uniquely
interactive experience by providing more real-time communication through the
use of podcasts, webinars, video tutorials and more. We have invested our own
time and money into the creation of this new company and need your help to take Best-Stylist.com to the next level.

beauty professionals, by giving them the freedom to manager their own career,
while taking control of their personal marketing and promotions. We provide the

Scholarship Program – Each year we will provide a scholarship(s) to a select
student(s) enrolled in one of our affiliate schools.
Career Advancement Program – Once a year, customers, professionals and companies can suggest an
individual in the industry to be eligible for our Career Advancement Award. We
will select one individual to receive this monetary benefit to assist with the
furtherance of their career.
