Terms of Service

These terms explain the rules for using RateMyStylist — for the people discovering beauty professionals and the professionals who list with us.

Effective date: August 29, 2026

1. Accepting these terms

By creating an account, browsing listings, or posting a review on RateMyStylist, you agree to these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, please do not use the platform.

We may update these terms as the platform evolves. When we make material changes, we will update the effective date above and, where appropriate, notify you.

2. Your account

You are responsible for the activity that happens under your account and for keeping your login credentials secure. Accounts are for a single person and may not be shared.

  • You must provide accurate information when you sign up.
  • You must be old enough to form a binding contract in your jurisdiction.
  • You may close your account at any time from your dashboard.

3. Reviews and content

Reviews must reflect a genuine, first-hand experience. You retain ownership of what you post, but grant RateMyStylist a license to display and distribute it on the platform.

We remove content that violates our guidelines, including fake reviews, harassment, or content posted to manipulate a professional’s reputation.

4. Professional listings

Professionals may claim and manage their listing after verifying their identity. Claiming a listing does not allow a professional to alter or remove genuine customer reviews.

5. Acceptable use

You agree not to misuse the platform. This includes scraping data, attempting to bypass security, impersonating others, or using RateMyStylist for anything unlawful.

6. Disclaimers and liability

RateMyStylist is a directory and review platform. We do not provide beauty services ourselves and are not responsible for the services provided by professionals listed on the platform.

7. Contact

Questions about these terms can be sent through our Contact page, and our team will route them to the right place.
