Our Mission
Connecting the world's best beauty talent with the people who need them most.
We believe the relationship between a client and their beauty artist is deeply personal. It's built on trust, communication, and skill. Yet finding the right professional has historically been fragmented, opaque, and time-consuming.
Neylak fixes that. We've built the infrastructure — from discovery and booking to payment and review — so the only thing that matters is the art.
Beauty is Personal
We reject one-size-fits-all. Every skin tone, hair texture, and style preference deserves a professional who truly understands it.
Artists First
Our platform is built to empower the professionals who make beauty happen — fair pay, real tools, full support.
Radical Transparency
No hidden fees. No surprise charges. No misleading reviews. What you see is exactly what you get.
Our Journey
Five years of building beauty's future
Founded in Miami
Neylak was born from a simple idea: every person deserves access to world-class beauty talent. Two founders, one vision, and a deep belief that beauty is personal.
First 100 Artists
We onboarded our founding cohort of 100 vetted beauty professionals across makeup, hair, nails, and skincare — building the trust framework that defines us today.
E-Commerce Launch
We expanded beyond bookings to bring curated beauty products directly to our community, closing the gap between discovery and purchase.
1M Bookings Milestone
One million beauty appointments facilitated through Neylak — a testament to the trust our clients and artists place in the platform every single day.
Premium Membership
The Neylak Premium membership launched, delivering exclusive discounts, priority booking, and members-only events to our most passionate beauty enthusiasts.
Global Expansion
Neylak extended its artist network to 12 cities across the US and Canada, with international markets in active development across Europe and the Gulf.
