Free business listings for beauty professionals
If you want student clients, the free listing that matters most is one students actually use to book. On Nearest, new professionals list free — no sign-up fee, no monthly membership fee — and verified students in your city can find you, request a time and pay in the app.

Listing, booking platform or advertisement?
- A listing makes you findable — a profile people browse or search.
- A booking platform runs the appointment: calendar, deposits, reminders, payments.
- An advertisement buys extra placement for as long as you pay.
Nearest combines the first two for student clients: students discover you, then book and pay through the platform. Nothing to advertise, and it works alongside the booking tool you already use for everyone else.
What to check before you call any listing “free”
- Per-booking costs. On Nearest, a flat $5 booking fee is added to the student's total by default, so you receive your full price.
- Card processing. On Nearest, card-processing fees are deducted from each payout — there's no separate processing bill.
- Paid upgrades. Deposits, reminders and request alerts are part of every Nearest profile, not add-ons.
- Your time. Every profile needs current hours, photos and prices. A Nearest profile is one place to keep them for student clients.
Get set up in an afternoon

- Share your Nearest link (usenearest.com/pro-yourname) in your bio, your texts and your flyer's QR code, so everyone who sees your work lands where they can book. See getting found by more clients.

Not sure your city is open? The city checker shows whether enrollment is open in your category, closed because spots are taken, or not open yet — and lets you leave your details. More detail in where to list your beauty business for free and Nearest for professionals.
