About The Beauty Pro Awards™, sponsored by Schedulicity
While hiring and managing elite beauty professionals in New York City, GoPretty.com founder Tracy Saunders noticed there was no shortage of talent. While there were plenty of celebrity stylists, Ms. Saunders was always impressed by the undiscovered rising stars within the industry. They had great promise, they worked hard, but they needed more opportunities to shine. Despite their efforts, the high cost of business expenses, such as web development, PR & marketing, photos shoots and travel expenses, presented a real challenge to achieving their career goals.
For that reason, GoPretty.com launched the Beauty Pro Awards™ Designed to help aspiring beauty pros gain exposure, the contest aligns with Go Pretty’s original vision - to help real women gain access to beauty professionals and give these experts the exposure they need and deserve.
