Creating your online profile

Your profile picture

1. Make sure your profile picture is up to date and reflects how you look on a daily basis i.e., your hair, glasses, makeup, and so on. If you do change your appearance drastically, consider taking a fresh picture to ensure clients recognise you at their appointment.

2. Use a high-resolution image

The ideal size for your profile picture is 400 x 400 pixels. Larger file sizes are also fine (although 8MB is the max), but try to avoid small, low-resolution images.

Ideally, a plain white/neutral colour background is best.

Example – Your image will be placed into a similar format below:
