Stylie’s origins began over 25 years ago when it built and nurtured a point of sale (POS) solution that could be used seamlessly in any tanning salon. Over time, it grew to be No. 1 tanning salon software in the country, partnered with one of the premier tanning companies in the world, Australian Gold. Now, the same technology is being leveraged to help independent beauty professionals manage and grow their business, so they can spend more time on making clients feel beautiful.
