## How to Join

<Steps>
  <Step title="Download the Glamease App">
    Get the Glamease app on your mobile device. It's available on both iOS and Android:

    * [Download on the App Store](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/glamease/id6763160168)
    * [Get it on Google Play](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.Glamease.myapp)

    You can also start the process by visiting [glamwithease.com](https://glamwithease.com) from your browser.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Tap Join as a Stylist">
    Once the app is open, tap **Join as a Stylist** from the home screen. If you already have a client account, you can switch to a professional account from your profile settings. Follow the prompts to create your professional login credentials.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Complete the Professional Onboarding Form">
    Fill out the onboarding form with your professional details. You'll be asked to provide:

    * Your full legal name and display name
    * Your primary beauty specialty
    * Your working location or service area
    * Portfolio photos that showcase your work

    Take your time with the portfolio photos, this is often the first thing a potential client sees when deciding whether to book with you.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Complete Identity and Professional Verification">
    Glamease verifies every professional before they can accept bookings. During this step, you'll submit your government-issued ID and any relevant credentials or portfolio evidence. This protects both you and your future clients and keeps the platform trustworthy for everyone.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Wait for Approval">
    After you submit your application and verification documents, the Glamease team will review your profile. Review times may vary depending on submission volume. You'll receive a notification in the app as soon as your account is approved. If you have questions while you wait, reach out to [support@glamwithease.com](mailto:support@glamwithease.com).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set Up Your Profile and List Your Services">
    Once approved, you're ready to go. Complete your professional profile, add your services with pricing and durations, connect your payout information, and set your availability. Your profile goes live to clients as soon as you publish it.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Note>
  All professionals must complete identity and credential verification before their profile is visible to clients or before they can accept any bookings. This step is required and cannot be skipped. It typically only needs to be completed once.
</Note>

## What You Need to Join

Before you start the application, gather the following so the process goes smoothly:

* **Government-issued photo ID**,: a driver's license, state ID, or passport. This is required for identity verification.
* **Proof of credentials or a professional portfolio**,: this can be a cosmetology or esthetics license, a certification, or a strong set of portfolio photos that demonstrate your skill and experience. Requirements may vary by specialty.
* **Payout information**,: your bank account or payment details so Glamease can send you earnings after completed services. You'll set this up during or after onboarding.
