Every open chair near you, before it's filled

Open chairs, with the pay right on them

Tap Jobs and you see every salon job post within your distance. Each one shows the title, the salon, the city, how many techs have looked, and how long it's been up. Posts less than two days old get a New badge.

Open a post and you see what the owner picked: full or part time, how it pays (60/40, 70/30, booth rental, or hourly plus tips with a pay range), and the services for that chair.

Job posts come down after 30 days, so you're not reading old ones. If a salon is still hiring, the owner posts again and it goes back to the top as new.

Easy Apply: photos, not a resume

1. 01Tap Easy Apply on the post.
2. 02Pick 3 to 5 photos of your own work. Phone photos are fine. A clean set matters more than good lighting.
3. 03Write a note, 10 to 1,000 characters. Say what you do, when you can start, and how to reach you.
4. 04Send it. The owner gets it in their inbox with a notification. If you've made a profile, a link to it goes along too.

You get one application per post. So send your five best photos, not your five newest.

How the feed sorts for you

Newest puts the latest post on top, and that's it. Nearest looks at how new a post is and how close the salon is, with a little extra weight on close. Posts from the last day get moved up.

We also know you're a tech. In Nearest, jobs move up for you and deals move down a little, so an open chair shows ahead of a gel sale. Switch to Newest and everything is in plain time order.

The feed starts on Any distance, so your first scroll is the newest posts from everywhere. Set it to 5, 10, 25, 50, or 100 miles and the feed remembers it. We measure from the center of your city, so pick how far you'd really drive.

Deals worth opening

• Supply stores. Wholesale pricing, percent off, buy one get one, clearance, and new brands in stock. Posts are tagged with the brand when it's OPI, CND, Young Nails, Gelish, Kiara Sky, DND, SNS, or Valentino. Deals stay up for seven days, so tapping Deals shows you this week's specials near you.
• Nail schools. Free workshops, open houses, tuition discounts, and enrollment specials. The free workshops are classes you might hear about too late any other way.
• Salons. A percent off a service or a new-client special. Handy when you're the client. It also shows you what the salon down the street charges.

Deals only take up about a third of the feed, so they never bury the jobs.

Referral rewards: two ways to use them

Say a salon posts Refer a Tech with a $50 reward. That salon is paying for an introduction. If you know a good tech, that's $50. If you're the tech, it's a salon that's hiring and hasn't written the job post yet. Tap Learn More on the post to get to the salon.

Schools post student referrals, instructor referrals, and salon partnerships. Supply stores offer store credit or a percent off a first order when you send them a salon or a tech. Referral offers stay up for 60 days. They change the slowest, so they're easy to come back to.

Save, share, search, and the weekly alert

Every post has a Save button so you can come back to it, and a Share button that copies the link. You can also search the whole feed. Type a service, a brand, or a salon's name in the search bar at the top.

Rather get jobs by email? The weekly job alert goes out every Thursday with the newest posts in your city, up to three. All it takes is your email. You don't need an account. They're the same posts the feed shows. The feed is where you see all of them, any day, and apply.
