"Stylion" - search for specialists in the field of beauty

The idea of ​​our startup " Styllion " comes from the positive experience of creating a project to find private specialists in the field of driving education " Spokoino.ru ". Meet: "Stillion" - a meeting place for those who want to become more beautiful and those who can help with this. The launch took place on March 8th.

about the project

The basis of the site structure are thematic sections: Hairdressing, Makeup, Wedding style, Manicure and Cosmetology, which, in turn, may contain an even narrower division. Each section is a mini-site on a given topic, containing information about the service, a list of masters who provide it and a selection of feature articles.

Filters

The filter system is quite simple, since there are no such clear selection parameters in this area, as, for example, for auto-instructors . But, of course, with the increase in the number of ads, we will develop and improve the search. Now we have already registered more than 60 masters, and in April we plan to pass the bar of 100 people.






Search for the master in photography

There are situations when a girl has not decided on the image or does not know, for example, what nail design to do next week. In this case, it will help the selection of the master in the photo.
Now it is presented in the form of a simple widget in which you can view photos of the works of masters of a certain section of the site. If you liked some of the photos, you can quickly go to the profile of the wizard.


Reviews

After a visit to the master, you can leave him a review and help other users in choosing. It is quite simple to do this, you only need to select the service through which you want to log in, and enter the message text.
Comments can also be posted to photos of works and articles.


Easy registration for masters

You can register and start filling out a profile by simply entering your email address, no complicated forms that discourage any desire to continue working with the site.

In the first step, in addition to filling out contact information, the master can upload his photo, we will independently determine an area with a face on it and beautifully cut it out.

Each master has a bunch of photos of works that you just want to upload to the site and associate with the services provided.
The result was an elegant solution: you can load all the photos simply by selecting them all in the “Browse” window, and binding to the service is done by simply clicking.

When the profile is complete, you can send it to the publication. After being checked by the moderator, it will appear on the site, and if there are any problems, we will contact the master by phone and jointly try to resolve all issues.

About monetization

On the one hand, “Stillion” is a project on which we would like to test the idea of ​​transferring the model “Peacefully. Ru” to other thematic areas. And on the other - a platform where we could check the effectiveness of different monetization models:

• Payment for posting on the site
  The standard scheme, when the master pays a monthly fee for placing your ad.
• Pay per customer
  An option in which the master pays only for the clients listed by the site.
• Attracting advertisers
  Now we are actively working on thematic content that could attract a larger audience than the one that is looking for private specialists.

At the moment, accommodation for masters is free. After achieving certain results in attendance, we will conduct an analysis of the effectiveness of our project for masters and decide on the introduction of paid accommodation, naturally, taking care that this process takes place for masters as predictably as possible.

Conclusion

In conclusion, I would like to say that we are open to any suggestions and feedback on the work of the site. Thank you for your attention and do not forget to show the “Stillion” to familiar girls. =)
