Question 8

Do you support salons in case of conflicts or problems arise?

Accepted Answer

Most recruitment agencies vanish after placement.

We don’t.

We are not from the HR world, we don’t pride ourselves on that.

We are from the beauty world, ex. Salon managers, advisors, and practicing stylists.

Because we know what happens when a Russian nail master lands in Riyadh for the first time.

The overwhelm. The culture shock. The small logistical nightmares that derail focus.

We’ve lived it. Our team is Russian and Brazilian beauty experts who understand the transition intimately.

Before arrival, every stylist gets a complete guide. Digital and physical. Life in Saudi. Cultural expectations. How to spend the first 90 days. What to avoid. How to excel.

Week one? We straighten out everything. Bank accounts. IDs. Contracts. Transportation. Flights. Hotels. SIM cards.

Talent focus on settling in. We pave out logistics.

And we don’t disappear afterwards.

For 90 days, we remain fully engaged. Questions answered. Challenges solved. Support delivered.

In Russian. In Portuguese. In Arabic.

By your side.

This is why our placements last. Succeed. Crush it. This is why stylists refer us. This is why salons trust us.

We don’t just recruit and integrate.

The first hiring experience of its kind in the region.

Unmatched, uncontested, and immaculate in delivery.

Question 9

How do you find your talent

Accepted Answer

We don't just rely on public job boards. We leverage professional strings in top beauty academies, elite salons, beauty hubs in Brazil & Russia.
