Computer-readable medium and computer system for extracting cosmetic service information and for locating and interacting with cosmetic service providers

A computer system for finding, evaluating and interacting with cosmetic service providers, the computer system comprising:

• a user computing device comprising:
• a user interface for receiving user input specifying a search query for a cosmetic service;
• and
• a location-determining subsystem for determining a current location of the user computing device;
• a server connected via a data network to the user computing device, the server having a processor configured to search for all cosmetic service providers offering the cosmetic service within a prescribed geographical area based on the search query and the current location received from the user computing device, the processor being further configured to filter the cosmetic service providers based on reviews and visits from social media contacts of the user, wherein the visits of each contact are determined by an artificial intelligence module that automatically compares photographs posted by the contact on social media to infer that the contact has used one of the cosmetic service providers and by correlating the times of the posted photographs with a location history of the contact by obtaining timestamp and location metadata of the posted photographs, and wherein the processor is further configured to cause the server to transmit filtered cosmetic service providers to the user computing device;
• wherein the user computing device is further configured to display the filtered cosmetic service providers and to present a user interface element to enable the user to communicate with one of the cosmetic service providers or with the contact who has used one of the cosmetic service providers.
