What we offer

People here are actively looking, with intent and with decisions to make.

They are searching for treatments, products, training and professionals across hair, beauty and aesthetics. They are not passively scrolling a social media feed.

The Hair & Beauty Directory has become the trusted home of the hair, beauty and aesthetics industry. Our members rank on page one of Google, often above far bigger competitors, because of the authority this platform carries.

We built something the industry genuinely needed. A verified, organised, searchable space where professionals get found, brands get discovered and consumers make better informed choices.

If your brand serves this industry, whether you are a product supplier, training provider, software company, insurer, equipment manufacturer or anything in between, your audience is here every single day.

A permanent trade show

The 24/7 trade show for hair, beauty and aesthetics.

Think of us as a permanent trade show that never closes. People walk through the doors every day, searching for treatments, products, training and professionals. Your brand has a stand at every one of those visits.

Unlike a one day event, your presence here is permanent. Unlike social media, these are people who are actively searching rather than passively scrolling. Unlike paid ads, your placement stays visible long after a campaign would have ended.

Helen Ward Founder
Who you are working with

You are not working with a faceless tech company. You are working directly with me.

I have owned a city centre salon for 30 years. I have won over 40 industry awards. My salon ranks number one on Google for almost every service within 15 miles, and I increased my own turnover by 30% in a single month using the visibility methods I built into this platform.

I built The Hair & Beauty Directory because I understood what the industry needed and nobody else was building it.

I know this industry inside out. The professionals, the consumers, what they search for, what they need and what they respond to.

Every brand partnership matters to me personally, because my reputation is built on the quality of what I put my name to.

I will not work with brands I do not believe serve this industry well. If we work together it is because I genuinely believe your brand belongs here.

The questions brands ask

Frequently asked questions

What audience will my brand reach?

A mix of consumers actively searching for treatments and beauty services, and industry professionals including salon owners, independent therapists, training academies, aesthetics professionals and students. Every visitor is connected to the hair, beauty or aesthetics industry.

What countries does the platform reach?

We currently reach professionals and consumers across 14 countries. Our primary audience is UK based but we have significant reach in the US, Australia, Ireland and across Europe.

How is this different from social media advertising?

Social media reaches people who are passively scrolling. Our traffic comes from search, people actively looking for products, services and professionals. These are buyers with intent, not browsers.

What is the difference between a brand profile and an advertising package?

A brand profile gives you a permanent verified presence on the platform, searchable and ranking on Google. Advertising packages give you featured placement, homepage visibility, email sponsorship and more, significantly amplifying your reach across the platform.

Is there a minimum contract?

Monthly packages have no long term commitment. Annual packages are paid upfront and save the equivalent of 2 months.

Are bespoke packages available?

Yes. For larger brands or specific requirements get in touch and we will put together a tailored proposal.
