LOCAL WOMAN CREATES REVOLUTIONARY NEW BEAUTY APP

By Charlie Gallegos

Glist, a new app founded by Avista Ortiz Bari is empowering vetted beauty professionals (hair, makeup, nail, and spray tanning artists) with a tool to quickly list their services and for clients to quickly search, find, and book any beauty experience where a vetted freelance artist comes to a client’s location of choice.

As a freelance makeup artist herself, Mrs. Ortiz Bari found the need to create this tool to manage all individual client contracts and remove the administrative hassle that took the joy out of being a beauty professional. As a client and mother of two young kids, she realized that finding an artist of her choice and efficiently booking any beauty service was currently impossible. Glist was recently featured on Good Morning Washington on abc7 news hosted by Eileen Wheelan.

“I created Glist because I saw a need for a better way for beauty professionals to list their services and for clients to find and book these services,” said Mrs. Ortiz Bari. “Our app is designed to make it easy for both beauty professionals and clients to connect with each other. We are here to empower beauty professionals with a tool that removes all the administrative hassle and barriers to entry in the beauty industry. Our goal is to become synonymous with quickly booking a beauty experience, whether that’s a haircut at home, a quick nail appointment at the office, or a full glam hair and makeup session for a major event at a venue, it should all be more accessible and efficient than what is currently available.”

“Glist – Beauty on Demand” is available for download on the App Store and Google Play. Glist’s webpage is www.glistapp.com and is also on Instagram @glist_app.
