Embrly

For cosmetology schools

Graduate students with proof.

Every student leaves with a portfolio of real, client-consented work that salons can trust, and you see where they land. Embrly is free for schools.

What your students get

A portfolio that holds up in an interview

01

A portfolio they can show an owner

Before-and-afters shot in the chair, with the client’s consent on record. Their specialties are counted from the work itself: “Balayage · 14 looks”, not a list they typed.

02

A verified student badge

Your school’s invite code is what puts “Student at your school” on their page. It can’t be typed in, so a salon can trust it.

03

A way to be found, on their terms

Salons on a paid Embrly plan can ask to connect. Students choose what an accepted salon sees (email, phone, socials), and there’s no messaging inside Embrly at all.

04

Everything comes with them

Their page, their looks and “Studied at your school” stay theirs after graduation, at their first salon and every one after.

What your school gets

Run it like a salon team

Your school works the way a salon does on Embrly: a page, a roster, invite codes and a weekly theme. We set your school up by hand, so every school on Embrly is real.

Your school page

One public page with your students’ best consented work, filterable by technique. Hiring salons browse schools by city and land here.

Weekly themes and Class Wins

Set a weekly theme (“foils week”, “finish and style”) and watch the class post to it. Instructors join free and can run themes and invite students.

An overview, not surveillance

Participation, looks shared and page views across the class. You never see a student’s unshared photos, anything without client consent, or which salons are asking for whom.

Partner schools

See where your graduates land

Placement is the number accreditors ask for and the hardest one to collect. On Embrly, much of it records itself.

Verified placements

When a graduate joins a salon on Embrly within six months, it’s recorded automatically. Graduates hired elsewhere can report it in the app.

Placement rate and time to placement

Graduates, placed, rate and median days to placement for any period, plus your current students by expected graduation.

A CSV for your reporting

Download the numbers in a plain spreadsheet for accreditation or your own records.

Names only with consent

You see totals by default. A graduate appears by name only if they choose to share their placement with you.

The ground rules

Built for adult students

18 and over

The student program is for students 18 and older. Each student confirms it when they join with your code.

Client consent, always

A client’s photo can’t be shown anywhere on Embrly without their consent on record. That includes your school page.

No messaging

Salons can only ask to connect, and students decide what they share. Nobody can message anyone through Embrly.

Bring Embrly to your school

Schools are free, and so are instructors. Students join with your code at a student rate of $9.99 a month; some partner schools cover it for their students. Tell us about your school and we’ll set it up with you.
