Decent Work and Economic Growth
Tools designed for business growth and protection, so independent professionals can earn, operate, and scale on their own terms.
Growing small businesses, one booking at a time.
Decent work means fair pay, stable demand, and room to grow. For independent beauty businesses, those outcomes depend on visibility and tools that are often built for someone else. We design our products and programs around the needs of small operators.
What we're doing
Three ways we contribute to Decent Work and Economic Growth.
Through ACRYLICS
ACRYLICS combines search, booking, marketplace, and client management so small businesses can run and grow from one platform.
