Community Guidelines

SalonBuddy is a professional community. These guidelines keep it a place where beauty professionals can share their work, connect, and grow with confidence. Using SalonBuddy means agreeing to follow them.

Be professional and respectful

• Treat other members the way you'd want to be treated in a salon or classroom.
• No harassment, hate speech, threats, or discrimination of any kind.
• Keep critique constructive. Disagree with ideas, not with people.

Share authentic work

• Post work you actually did, and be honest about your role in it.
• Don't claim someone else's work as your own.
• Get consent before posting recognizable photos of clients or models.

Keep it appropriate

• Portfolio content should be professional beauty work.
• No nudity, sexually explicit content, or graphic material.
• No content that promotes unsafe or unlicensed practice.

No spam or scams

• Don't post repetitive, misleading, or purely promotional content.
• Job and opportunity listings must be real and accurate.
• Never ask members for payment to apply, or solicit off-platform to defraud.

Reporting

If you see something that breaks these guidelines, report it. See Safety & Reporting for how. We review reports and may warn, remove content, or suspend accounts that violate these standards.
