4. Expert position and Authority placement

Expert position

Where an accepted expert stands in the marketplace

Each approved expert gets a public profile position that shows their role, proof, and Authority level before consumers send an inquiry. The placement order is visible so salons and stylists understand where they stand.

1
City Authority
Top city placement. This position stands above every other listing in that market and cannot be outranked while active.
2
Expert Specialist
Authority placement below the City Authority and above standard listings, supported by an Expert badge, reviewed portfolio, services, certifications when available, and education/article eligibility.
3
Featured Specialist
Enhanced visibility for reviewed providers who want stronger placement but are not holding the City Authority position.
4
Founding Specialist
Launch recognition and early marketplace visibility after review, with profile placement shaped by city demand and proof submitted.

5. Certifications

Certification uploads appear here when provided by the specialist, including smoothing, keratin, color, or continuing education documents.

6. Services

Keratin treatments, Brazilian blowouts, express smoothing, Cezanne-style formaldehyde free smoothing, BondBar-style smoothing, natural and organic smoothing options, and hair smoothing consultations.

7. Pricing

Pricing ranges are displayed only when submitted by the stylist and can be confirmed during consultation.

8. Experience

Experience is shown as a submitted profile field after verification review.
