Nabostylisten is a platform offering beauty services performed at the comfort of your home, office, friends place, nursing home, ANYWHERE. We give buyers a chance to get beauty services performed wherever they are located. We help beauty stylists create a living out of their dreams and to be their own boss by giving them a platform to showcase their work, get bookings and a dashboard with all necessary tools. The way people use beauty services today is unnecessary complicated. There is a million different choices and they are all on different platforms, lacking a uniformed list of information. Beauty services are performed in salons- as they have been for the last 100 years. In recent years more and more stylists have transferred their businesses to Instagram where they can showcase pictures of their work and get in touch with potential clients, doing their bookingsystem via direct messages. This has resulted in a huge and unstructured beauty service market, confusing for both buyers and sellers. Making it difficult for buyers to get an overview of the offers and for stylists to be visible for customers, as well as a lacking booking system. On top of this buyers still have to travel to the salons and set all of their responsibilities aside to get a service performed in a salon. This problem affects men and women, in all ages and lifestyles all over the world. Especially in Norway with our remote landscape, hectic lifestyles and beauty needs always developing. Nabostylistens solution to the mentioned problems above is a one-stop-hub for buying and selling beauty services. Giving a full and uniformed overview of stylists and their services within your area with prices, pictures, duration, descriptions, bio of stylist, timeslots available and a booking flow. Customers can choose to get the service done at their location to fit beauty needs into their hectic everyday life. Stylists will only need nabostylisten for all of their duties, booking overview, chat, services and profile, income section, working schedule and a platform to showcase their business. Nabostylisten is founded by Tomas Erdis, a well known and sought after makeup artist with over 13 years of experience. Tomas is one of Norways absolute best and most booked stylists. He has worked with brands, celebrities, other profiles and regular customers. He noticed that normal people did not know if they were allowed to book him for his services, or how to do it. He has been delivering services at location all of his career and noticed that for other stylists this was not the regular way to work. He was able to meet his clients needs by travelling to them, and in doing so he became very popular. 
Tomas knows what it’s like to be on your own, trying to get a name for yourself in the business. He wants to help other stylists so that they do not have to go through the same challenges as he did. He also wants buyers to be able to express their beauty needs and for everyone, no matter who you are to get beauty services that suit you!

Benefix is ​​aimed at companies that want to focus on employee well-being and want to give employees a relevant skills boost via self-development videos. Benefix is ​​an employee-oriented course platform and at the same time a management dashboard for management use, which is used both to manage employee well-being and at the same time create an overview for management of the organization's mental health status. Benefix originates from Klausen-HR, which mainly works to get employees on sick leave due to stress back to work. The insights from this are, among other things, that prevention of stress is significantly more important than investing in treatment once the damage has occurred. It saves the company a lot of money to spot and stop stress in time and at the same time it spares the employees the psychological and physical hard journey that a sick leave with stress entails. We believe that stress can be avoided with the right knowledge and the right tools for mental and physical well-being - for both managers and employees. In fact, it is not something that requires a lot from the workplace or is difficult to implement in a busy everyday life. That is why we have created Benefix, an e-learning portal that quickly pays off, where everyone can learn to take responsibility for their own well-being and avoid being affected by stress at their own pace.
