Spotd: The daily destination for opportunities in the hair industry

Spotd app the new match making app for the hair industry

Spotd is coming soon

What if every career opportunity in hair lived in one place—and found you? That’s Spotd. It’s a dedicated, hair‑industry marketplace that connects hairstylists, barbers, colourists, salon owners, educators, events, and brands in one intelligent platform. Just like a dating app, Spotd matches you to industry opportunities, alerts you when there’s a fit, and makes sure you’re Spotd at the right moment.

What is Spotd?

Spotd is an all‑in‑one platform where the hair industry discovers, posts, and fills opportunities beyond traditional “jobs.” It’s built for how modern careers really work.

What you’ll find:

  • • Employment: permanent, freelance, locum, apprenticeships, international travel roles
  • • Brand partnerships: ambassadors, product testing, influencer collabs, retail supply
  • • Education & development: courses, workshops, coaching, shadowing, seminars
  • • Creative & media work: editorial, TV/film, session work, stage shows, podcasts
  • • Events & spaces: competitions, awards, industry events, space rentals
  • Business opportunities: salon sales, franchises, partnerships, investments
  • • Community & networking: associations, collabs, peer groups, volunteer work
  • Special opportunities

Why we built it

Today everything is scattered—such as jobs on LinkedIn, courses on individual sites, events on socials, collabs in WhatsApp’s. That fragmentation wastes time and causes people to miss out. Businesses overspend to reach the wrong audience, and pros spend hours searching without results. Spotd fixes this by unifying discovery and making the right connections happen fast.

Who Spotd helps

  • Hairstylists, barbers, colourists: Find roles and gigs that fit your skills, location, and goals—full‑time, freelance, mobile, or creative.
  • Salon owners and managers: Reach qualified talent, hire faster, and track responses in one place.
  • Educators and academies: Fill courses with the right learners.
  • Brands: Source creators, educators, and pros for UGC, events, and campaigns.
  • Event organisers: Promote shows, competitions, and industry meetups.
  • Hair‑adjacent creatives (MUAs, photographers, session teams): Join or build project crews.

How the matching works (the “dating app” part)

  • Build your profile: Showcase your portfolio, specialties, location, availability, and an optional 60‑second intro video.
  • Set preferences: Define the types of opportunities you want (e.g., bridal, men’s grooming, education, day‑rates, travel).
  • Get matched and alerted: Spotd recommends opportunities (and talent for businesses) that fit your criteria—then sends real‑time alerts so you can respond instantly.
  • Connect quickly: Message in‑platform to qualify fit, schedule, and move to hire or book.
  • Learn and improve: See what’s getting views and applications, then refine your profile or posts.

Profiles, posting, and visibility

  • Post on your profile: In the app, you can publish updates directly on your profile—availability, wins, work‑in‑progress, open days—helping you get Spotd more.
  • Get Spotlighted: The more your profile is viewed, the higher your chances of being one of our weekly “Spotlighters,” featured on the Spotlight Stage in the app.
