FAQ

Ladies, it’s an honor to share our beauty platform with you! Our membership-based platform allows you to request beauty appointments with images of future looks, track your beauty journey (stylists can quickly see past styles, learn important information about allergies or sensitivities, as well as former treatments you’ve selected, and experiences you’ve had that they should know about). You can capture details about past or upcoming appointments, and have notes or images associated with your styles or appointments, along with the treatment choices, colors, products used, and so much more.

That’s the practical side of things — on the fun and social side, you can keep your portfolio fresh with your favorite looks, connect with other ladies from around the globe, create groups to plan: wedding party styles, special events, vacations, getaways, and retreats, depending on your selected membership level. You can also read thought provoking blogs, access our store for cool products, check out shared topics of interest, post messages, send encouraging notes to friends, and store your best looks in organized albums…and the list goes on, but we’ll end it here for now!

We’re called Tru Beauty Story because our goal is to encourage women to own their beauty journey and take a look at themselves from a soul, body, and spirit perspective. We hope you will enjoy our site as you shop, connect with other members, dialogue and engage in blog discussions, and become the woman you were created to be — the one who changes her world by being brave, loving, honest and the greatest version of herself that she can possibly be!
