Trust & Safety

Building a safe, trustworthy community for beauty professionals and clients in your local area.

Important: What Bea'Viewed Is and Is Not

Bea'Viewed is a platform that connects clients with independent beauty professionals. We do not employ, supervise, direct, or control beauty professionals listed on our platform.

We do not provide beauty services. All services are provided by independent professionals who operate their own businesses. We are not responsible for the quality, safety, or outcomes of any services provided.

Reviews represent user opinions only. We do not verify, endorse, or guarantee the accuracy of reviews. Reviews are the subjective opinions of individual users and should be considered as such.

By using Bea'Viewed, you acknowledge and agree to use services at your own discretion and risk.

How We Maintain Trust

Professional Verification

We offer verification for beauty professionals who provide documentation proving their identity and, when applicable, their state license. Verified badges indicate that a professional has completed our verification process. However, verification does not guarantee the quality of service, professional conduct, or any specific outcome.

Note: Some beauty services (braiding, makeup artistry, etc.) do not require state licensing in many areas. Professionals without state licenses may still be verified as legitimate business operators.

Review Authenticity

All reviews must come from registered accounts. We monitor for suspicious patterns such as fake reviews, review manipulation, or coordinated fraud. Professionals cannot delete reviews—they can only respond publicly. We reserve the right to remove reviews that violate our Community Guidelines.

Content Moderation

We actively moderate content to maintain platform integrity. This includes removing spam, harassment, hate speech, fake reviews, and other policy violations. While we make good faith efforts to moderate content, we cannot guarantee that all problematic content will be identified or removed immediately.

Safety Tips for Clients

Before Booking

  • Read multiple reviews, not just the highest or lowest ratings
  • Check if the professional is verified and licensed (when applicable)
  • Review their portfolio photos to see their actual work
  • Confirm pricing, services, and policies before booking
  • Ask questions via their contact information or booking platform

Red Flags to Watch For

  • Requesting payment through unusual methods (cash app to personal accounts before service)
  • Unwilling to answer questions about experience or credentials
  • No portfolio photos or all photos appear to be from other sources
  • Pressure to book immediately or "special deals" that seem too good to be true
  • Inconsistent or suspicious reviews (all posted at once, generic language)

Your Responsibilities

As a client, you are responsible for:

  • Conducting your own due diligence before booking services
  • Communicating directly with professionals about your needs and expectations
  • Following professionals' policies regarding deposits, cancellations, and conduct
  • Leaving honest, accurate reviews based on your actual experience
