Sliike and The Aesthetic Clinic(TAC) host an inclusive beauty webinar empowering skin of color professionals

For beauty professionals specializing in skin of color, the demand has never been higher, but access to the right education, visibility, and income opportunities remains uneven. Sliike, a beauty-tech startup, is working to change that by building infrastructure that supports both professional growth and economic empowerment within the BIPOC beauty community.

In January 2026, Sliike announced a collaboration with The Aesthetic Clinic (TAC) to host an educational webinar titled “Empowering Skin of Color: Understanding Darker Skin Tones” taking place January 23, 2026, at 7:00 PM EST. The virtual session is more than a training opportunity it is part of a broader strategy to equip beauty professionals with the knowledge, credibility, and exposure needed to thrive in a rapidly evolving beauty economy.

“For too long, professionals who work with melanin-rich skin have been undertrained and undervalued,” said Jacob Karimu, CEO and Founder of Sliike. “Sliike exists to change that, by giving BIPOC beauty professionals the tools to be visible, trusted, and paid fairly for their expertise.”

The TAC-led webinar focuses on practical, revenue-driving skills, including treatment safety, hyperpigmentation management, and acne care for darker skin tones. Five attendees will receive complimentary facial analyses and personalized treatment plans, reinforcing Sliike’s commitment to real-world value rather than surface-level education.

For beauty professionals, the message is clear: this is a call to action. As consumers increasingly seek culturally competent care, practitioners who invest in inclusive education and digital visibility will be best positioned to capture new demand. Sliike provides a platform where professionals can showcase their skills, connect with clients, and build sustainable income without relying solely on traditional gatekeepers.

Sliike’s model reflects a growing opportunity in beauty tech and creator-led marketplaces. By integrating education, trust, and monetization into a single ecosystem, the platform increases user retention while serving an underserved yet fast-growing market. This approach transforms social impact into scalable business value.

Sliike’s collaboration with TAC signals a long-term commitment to championing equity within the beauty industry, not as a trend, but as a growth strategy. For beauty professionals ready to elevate their careers, and for investors watching where the next wave of beauty innovation will come from, Sliike is positioning itself as a platform worth paying attention to.
