I saw a need in the beauty industry, and had the perfect solution.

I also love connecting people so it’s no surprise I created something that does just that.

In 2016, I co-founded a blowdry and beauty bar in Lake Charles, Louisiana. As we were establishing our brand, I remember wishing we had a larger network of clients to connect with. That’s when the idea of BeautyFindr came to me — a mobile app that would connect beauty service professionals who had openings on their books, with users in need of their services.

I realized that BeautyFindr could not only help beauty service professionals build their clientele, but could also be beneficial for app users looking for beauty services in their area, especially for those who had an urgent need. I experienced this myself before my maternity pictures, when two hours before the shoot, the salon cancelled my blowout and makeup services (due to the stylist being sick). I was super upset and stressed — it was a Saturday and I had very little time to find another stylist. Long story short, I found a stylist to do my hair, but was unable to find a makeup artist in time. If BeautyFindr had existed, with selecting the SOS feature, things would have turned out very differently.

Maybe you have been invited to an event last minute and need your hair and makeup done, or need a quote for your wedding party, or you’ve moved and need a new hairstylist, or you are traveling and want beauty services, or you want a spray tan, lash extensions, or facial just because. BeautyFindr is your perfect solution!

After 7 years of working in the beauty industry, while being a busy wife and mom of two young girls, I understand the needs of both the beauty professionals and the consumers. Our goal is to help the beauty professionals expand their client network and grow their business, while making it easy and less time consuming for users to find beauty professionals to provide services they need when they need them.
