We can’t be the only ones who have needed a last-minute appointment or are looking for a new therapist or hairdresser and take to Facebook in search of recommendations…
But, after 25 different comments recommending people, we quickly become a bit lost.
Are they just recommending their friends? Are they in the area I put in my post? Hang on, this one doesn’t even do the treatment I’m after! It quickly becomes just a bit too much work…
The Shortlyst is the answer. Think of it as the 2021 version of the yellow pages, and if you’re not sure what the Yellow Pages are, please go and google quietly and not make us feel we’re super old…
The online directory is for all services in the beauty industry, split into three categories, Hair Face and Body. Side note – We wasn’t quite sure where waxing should feature, so you’ll find that one in every category…
The directory lists out established high-street salons, at-home salons and mobile workers which are all searchable by area, reviews and treatments. Making it *super* easy to look for exactly what you’re after without being bombarded by helpful but unhelpful comments on social media.
We’ve laid out five great reasons why The Shortlyst should be the first place you check when you’re looking to book a new treatment:
- Search by area
Quickly look through the categories to find services close to home – or anywhere else. A useful way to look for somebody to sort your hair out while you’re getting ready at a friend who doesn’t live near you.
- Check out reviews
Reviews by previous customers are a trusted way to really check whether the treatment and therapist you’re looking for is going to deliver. I mean, a bad eyebrow wax or a bad head of bleach is going to haunt you a lot longer than the time it would have taken to read through a couple of reviews!
- Get in touch, simply.
Don’t waste time looking through a website, and Instagram and a Facebook page to try and find contact information. You can book directly through our website, easy as pie!
- Check out a business’s past work
On some of the listings on The Shortlyst, you’ll be able to check out their gallery and some very clever salons even have a video showing you their treatment space. Just to give you some extra peace of mind when booking…
- Just ‘brows’ baby
Sometimes all we know if we need something. We need a pick me up, a change-up, a fresh something something. But maybe you don’t know exactly what you’re after? That’s alright, browse the services around your area and maybe try something you heard your friend rave about but never got round to looking into it… if you’re asking us, we totally think you deserve it.
