Mane Hook-Up, the popular platform connecting textured hair clients with professional stylists, has been relaunched with a fresh new look. Founder Jade Buffong’s vision for the platform has always been to make finding the right stylist for textured hair easier and more reliable. With the introduction of Mane Hook-Up 2.0, clients can now confidently book their hair appointments knowing they are in good hands.
Improved Platform for Trusted Connections
Mane Hook-Up 2.0 offers clients a redesigned platform with an improved booking experience. The newly developed site is built to bridge the gap between customers and trusted hair stylists. It provides valuable tools that allow stylists to create detailed profiles, showcasing their qualifications, specialties, experience, and location. This transparent approach gives clients a chance to review and decide on the right stylist before booking an appointment.
“Trust is what it really boils down to when people are booking a hair appointment,” says Jade Buffong. “We want clients to feel confident that they are making a well-informed decision.”
Building Trust Through Stylist Profiles and Reviews
One key feature of the upgraded platform is the ability for clients to view stylist profiles before booking. These profiles include information such as the stylist’s expertise, customer reviews, and previous work. This gives clients peace of mind, knowing they are choosing a stylist who meets their specific needs. Buffong explains that these profiles help clients answer the crucial question, “Can I trust you to look after my hair?”
The platform also includes reviews, an essential aspect that allows customers to learn from the experiences of others. This level of transparency is exactly what many clients in the textured hair community have been looking for.
Jade Buffong’s Journey to Empower the Textured Hair Community
Jade Buffong launched Mane Hook-Up after transitioning from relaxed to natural hair in 2018. She identified a pressing issue in the textured hair community: a lack of reliable resources to connect with skilled stylists who understand their unique needs. Buffong’s goal was simple yet powerful—create a space where textured hair could be embraced and cared for without being overlooked.
Her platform has steadily gained traction in both New York City and London, and she plans to expand Mane Hook-Up to more cities across the U.S. Buffong believes this expansion is crucial to ensuring textured hair communities everywhere are supported and well-served.
Mane Hook-Up’s Launch Competition Celebrates Stylists
In honor of the Mane Hook-Up 2.0 relaunch, a special competition has been introduced for stylists who serve textured hair clients. Stylists who book clients within the first month will be entered into a prize draw. One winner from New York and one from London will receive a luxurious spa day to celebrate their hard work and dedication.
This launch event highlights Buffong’s commitment not only to clients but also to the stylists who work tirelessly to care for textured hair. “We want to show appreciation for the professionals who truly make a difference in our community,” she says.
Looking Ahead: Expansion and Education
While Mane Hook-Up is currently serving stylists and clients in London and New York City, the platform has plans to grow. For those outside these areas, the Mane Hook-Up YouTube channel offers valuable interviews with hair experts, helping non-local clients stay educated and informed about their textured hair care needs.
Mane Hook-Up 2.0 launched on October 21, and it’s clear that Buffong’s commitment to her community continues to drive the platform forward, with even greater things to come.
