Company Summary

Hairvine aims to disrupt the hair industry after research revealed systemic struggles - 90% of stylists don't renew licenses after 1 year & clients can't find stylists meeting their needs. Our platform builds a community, matching clients & stylists via ML & AI. We empower stylists with new clients & resources to hone skills. Clients can discover stylists by skills, pricing & availability. By enabling these connections, we transform the industry.
