Welcome to Miali! You've just joined thousands of beauty professionals taking back control of their time. This is more than just a booking app — it's your partner in growth.
To help you hit the ground running, we've compiled the ultimate guide to maximizing your Miali experience. Follow these steps to end the scheduling chaos and grow your income.
1. Go Live: The BIO Link Strategy
Your Miali booking link is your most powerful tool. It works 24/7, even while you're sleeping or in the middle of a complex hair session.
- Instagram & TikTok: Add your booking link to your bio immediately. Statistics show that businesses with a clear "Book Now" link get 50% more appointments.
- WhatsApp: Set your Miali link in your WhatsApp Business profile or as your status. It saves you from the "Are you free at 2pm?" back-and-forth.
2. The 2-Minute "Magic" Test
Before you send the link to your regulars, try it yourself:
- Open your own booking page.
- Book yourself for a test service.
- Watch as the automated confirmation and reminder magic happens.
- Check your dashboard to see how your schedule stays perfectly organized.
3. Maximize Your Visibility
Professionalism breeds trust. Profiles with photos get 3x more bookings than those without. Here’s your checklist to stand out:
Upload Your Logo or Headshot
First impressions matter. Navigate to Dashboard → Account and upload a professional logo or a high-quality headshot. Clients want to see the face behind the talent.
Showcase Your Portfolio
Don't just tell them you're good; show them. Go to Dashboard → Marketing → Portfolio Gallery and upload 3-5 of your best transformations.
Complete Your Services & Pricing
Transparent pricing keeps clients from hesitating. Make sure every service has a clear name, duration, and price. Complete profiles rank higher in local searches.
4. Leverage Social Proof
Nothing drives a new client to book faster than a 5-star review.
- Ask your happy regulars to leave a review via their Miali confirmation.
- These reviews appear on your booking page, creating instant credibility for anyone visiting for the first time.
5. Pro Tip: Lighting is Everything
When capturing your work for your Miali portfolio:
- Use Natural Light: If you're a mobile stylist, find a window. If you're in a suite, use a ring light.
- Clear Backgrounds: Keep the focus on the hair, nails, or skin.
- Permission: Always ask your clients if you can feature them!
Conclusion
Stop being your own secretary and start being the artist you are. Let Miali handle the boring stuff — the reminders, the follow-ups, and the scheduling — so you can focus on your craft.
Your time is finally under control.
