Yes! If a vendor shared their referral link with you, use that link to register. The referring vendor earns ₦2,000 promo credit when you complete registration (V2V affiliate programme). Product brands referred by vendors earn the vendor a 10% recurring commission on ad spend (V2B programme).

After activating your account, go to Dashboard → Edit Profile. Fill in your business name, category, description, location, working hours, and social media handles. Upload your logo and a cover banner photo. Then go to Services to add your service menu with prices.

A complete profile gets significantly more views and bookings.

Go to Dashboard → Portfolio. Click Add Post and upload your photos or videos. Add a caption, tag the service type, and set a price if it's a product. Your posts appear on your public profile and on the main myBeautyGallery discovery feed where potential clients can find you.

Go to Dashboard → Boost Post. Select the post you want to promote, choose a boost duration (3, 7, 14, or 30 days), and pay via Paystack. Boosted posts get priority placement at the top of the discovery feed with a "Sponsored" badge, giving them significantly more impressions and clicks.

Yes! Enterprise plan vendors can configure a custom domain (e.g., yourbeautyname.com) to point to their myBeautyGallery vendor profile. Contact us at hello@mybeautygallery.com to set this up.

Go to Dashboard → Affiliate Programme. Copy your unique V2V referral link and share it with other beauty professionals. When they register and activate their account using your link, you earn ₦2,000 promo credit that you can use towards boosting your posts.

No — you can browse the discovery feed, view vendor profiles, and see portfolios without creating an account. However, you'll need to register as a visitor to make a booking, save favourite vendors, or leave a review.

Use the search bar on the homepage to filter by service type, city, or state. You can also use the "Near Me" location filter which uses your city-level location (we do not access your precise GPS location) to show vendors in your area.

After your service is marked as completed by the vendor, you'll receive a prompt to leave a review. You can also visit the vendor's profile and click Testimonials → Write a Review. Reviews are visible immediately after submission unless the vendor has enabled moderation.

Visit the vendor's public profile and click 📅 Book a Service. Select your service, choose a date and time from their available slots, fill in your details, and pay the required deposit via Paystack to confirm. You'll receive an email and SMS confirmation immediately.

Rescheduling is subject to the vendor's cancellation policy. Each vendor sets their own policy (e.g., free reschedule if requested 48+ hours before the appointment). You can find the cancellation policy on the booking confirmation page and in your booking confirmation email. Contact the vendor directly via WhatsApp for reschedule requests.

If a vendor fails to honour a confirmed booking, contact us at support@mybeautygallery.com within 24 hours. We will investigate and, where applicable, process a refund of your deposit. Vendors with repeated no-shows may be suspended from the platform.

Payments are processed securely through Paystack (for Nigerian transactions in ₦) and Stripe (for international card payments). Accepted methods include debit/credit cards, bank transfers, and USSD payments.

Yes. We never store your full card details on our servers. All payment data is handled directly by Paystack or Stripe, which are PCI-DSS compliant payment processors. We only receive transaction reference numbers and amounts.

Our platform operates on a split-payment model. When a client pays a deposit, the platform retains a small commission (currently 1%) and the remainder is settled to the vendor's bank account. Settlement timelines follow Paystack's standard schedule (typically 1–3 business days).

The myBeautyGallery Beauty Academy is a built-in e-learning platform where beauty professionals can create and sell video courses. Students can learn makeup artistry, hair styling, nail art, skincare techniques, and more directly on the platform.

Browse courses on the Academy section of the platform or via a vendor's public profile. Click Enrol Now, complete payment, and gain immediate access to all course videos. You can watch at your own pace and download certificates upon completion.

Yes! Any vendor can create and sell courses via Dashboard → Academy → Create Course. Upload your video lessons, set a price, create a quiz, and publish. The platform handles payments and certificate generation automatically.

myBeautyGallery is a mobile-first Progressive Web App (PWA). You can add it to your home screen from your browser for a native app-like experience on both Android and iOS — no app store download required. A dedicated app is on our roadmap.

Go to Dashboard → Settings → Danger Zone and follow the account deletion process. You must type "DELETE" and enter your password to confirm. This action is irreversible — all your data including bookings, portfolio, reviews, and client history will be permanently removed. Alternatively, email hello@mybeautygallery.com for manual deletion.

Click Forgot Password on the login page, enter your registered email address, and we'll send a password reset link. The link is valid for 1 hour. If you don't receive the email, check your spam folder or contact support@mybeautygallery.com.
