Basic listings are free but premium placements are available at cost. To be listed just email us your salon site link and 4-6 high quality photos. We’ll take care of the rest! If you’d prefer to send us more information here’s what we need:

Photos – Four to six HQ photos. All with a height of at least 580 pixels and a quality of at least 72 dpi
Description – Send us a short description or bio (whatever you use on your site is perfect). We also need your physical location, phone number, website and salon hours
Specialties – Let us know what you’re known for. What keeps you clients coming back?
Video – If you have a YouTube/Vimeo video you’d like to include in your listing, send that along too
