StyleSeat has announced the winners of its first-ever ‘The Stylies’ Awards. Created to recognize, honor, and, celebrate beauty and wellness professionals. 

StyleSeat is an online destination for booking beauty, grooming, and wellness services, and the award winners are the beauty professionals that help StyleSeat customers look and feel their best. The Stylies are also a way to support small businesses, StyleSeat says.

“From the beginning, our goal has always been to grow small businesses,” said StyleSeat founder and CEO Melody McCloskey. “Whether that’s by filling last-minute cancellations or helping our Pros to get paid what they’re worth so they can earn more, StyleSeat has helped to generate over $10.6 billion in revenue for small businesses. The Stylies is one of many next steps in helping our deserving Pros continue to grow.”

Nearly 900 submissions were received—and here are the winners.
