The feed is the page inside a Polish Perfect account that collects every job, deal, and referral offer posted by nail salons, supply stores, and schools, and sorts them by what's newest or what's closest to your salon. This is what an owner sees there, how to read it as a report on your own market, and how to put your own posts into it.
What an owner sees in the feed
Three kinds of post, from three kinds of business, in one list. Each row is the title, who posted it, how far away they are, how many people have looked, and how old it is.
- Jobs from other salons. Open one and the pay structure the owner picked is on it: 60/40, 70/30, booth rental, or hourly plus tips with a range, along with full or part time and the services the chair does.
- Deals from supply stores: wholesale pricing, a percent off, buy one get one, clearance, or a new brand in stock, tagged with the brand when it's one of the big ones.
- Referral offers from schools and other salons: a school paying for a student referral or looking for a salon partnership, a salon offering twenty-five to a hundred dollars for a tech referral.
Every post sits on a claimed, published listing, so the business behind it is one you can look up, call, and visit. That's what the free account buys you: a feed with no anonymous posts in it.

Newest, nearest, and the lean toward owners
Newest is pure time order. Nearest is a blend: how recent the post is and how far away it is, weighted a little toward distance. A post keeps about half its freshness after a week, and a business twenty-five miles away scores about half what one next door does. Anything posted in the last day gets a lift on top of that, and a Featured post gets one more.
The feed also knows you're an owner. In Nearest, referral offers and deals move up for you and other salons' job posts move down, because that's what owners open. Switch to Newest and the lean goes away.
Two small rules keep a page readable: the same business doesn't appear twice within ten rows, and deals are held to about a third of the list, so a busy supply store can't fill your screen.
Set your radius once
The default is Any distance, so the first scroll shows the freshest posts everywhere. Pick 5, 10, 25, 50, or 100 miles and the feed keeps it. Distance is measured from the center of your city, so 5 miles in a big metro is tighter than it sounds; 10 or 25 is the usual owner setting.
Reading your market from it
The jobs other salons post are the most honest pay survey you'll get. Three posts in your radius offering 70/30 tell you what a tech expects before you write yours. Tap Jobs, set 10 miles, sort Newest, and read for five minutes.
Deals from supply stores run for seven days, so the Deals chip is effectively this week's specials within driving distance. Owners who check it on Monday order before the rep calls.
Referral offers from schools are a hiring channel most owners never see. A school posting a salon partnership wants somewhere to send graduates; answer it and you're first in line when the next class finishes.
The keyword search in the top bar runs across all of it. A brand name, a service, a salon you've heard of: type it and the feed narrows to posts that mention it.
Posting into it
Once your salon is claimed, you post from the same screen you read on. Three kinds, each built from chips rather than a long form, with a title and description you write or let the draft tool write for you:
- 01A job: the role, full or part time, the pay structure, tips, and the services the chair does. Live for thirty days.
- 02A deal: a percent off a service, a new-client special, a package, or a seasonal promo. Live for seven days, which is the right length for a special anyway.
- 03A referral offer: refer a client or refer a tech, with a reward of twenty-five, fifty, a hundred dollars, or your own number. Live for sixty days.
Posts can't be edited once they're live. Read the preview; if something's wrong, delete the post and post again. A fresh post goes back to the top as the newest, which is also what to do when a job or a special is still running after the post expires.

Where your post goes
A post doesn't only land in the feed. It goes on the public jobs, deals, or referrals page for your city, which Google indexes and which anyone can read without an account, and on your own listing, where clients already are. The feed is the third place, and it's the one where the rest of the trade in your city sees it.
Techs in the feed lean the other way from you: for them, jobs move up and deals move down. Your job post gets that lift automatically, and every application comes back with three to five photos of the tech's work and a note. The hiring page covers what happens from there.
Featured posts
A post with a Featured badge is one its owner put a Boost budget behind, from five dollars, and every claimed salon starts with free credit toward it. Featured posts sit higher in the Nearest sort and take the Sponsored spots on the public city pages, including cities the owner chooses. It's optional, and someone else's Featured post never pushes your organic post out of the feed.
When it's worth it: a chair you need filled this month, a special with a date, a new service you want the city to know about by Friday.
