Your Zenaba profile is your digital storefront: it needs to entice, reassure, and convert potential clients in just a few seconds. In this article, we'll walk you through step-by-step how to create a professional profile that attracts more clients and helps you secure more booking requests.
Why a well-maintained profile is essential
Most clients choose their hairstylist based on the information visible on their profile. A well-filled profile inspires confidence and showcases your professionalism.
A good profile allows you to:
- Highlight your specialties
- Showcase your expertise
- Build trust even before the first appointment
On Zenaba, hairstylists who receive the most inquiries have a complete profile with multiple photos.
Essential elements to fill out
-
Your personal description
Be clear, concise, and personable. Specify how long you've been styling hair, what you love about Afro hairstyling, and what your clients say about you. -
Your services
List all the hairstyles you create (knotless braids, twists, crochet braids...). Clearly indicate prices and estimated duration. -
Your service area
Define how many miles you are willing to travel. -
Your availability
Add your preferred working days and hours. -
Your photos
This is the decisive element. Choose 2 to 4 well-framed photos with good lighting. If possible, show a variety of hairstyles.
Tip: also add a photo of yourself. This humanizes your profile and reassures clients.
