2. Reducing no-shows and last-minute cancellations. Our approach: modern tech stack (Next.js, React, Node.js, PostgreSQL). This directly addresses the way beauty & salons professionals actually work.
3. Tracking client preferences and history. Our approach: work directly with the founder from day one. This directly addresses the way beauty & salons professionals actually work.
4. Selling retail products and gift vouchers. Our approach: full ownership of your code and data. This directly addresses the way beauty & salons professionals actually work.

Each of these can be customised to your specific beauty & salons workflows. We scope the exact features you need during a free consultation.
What Beauty & Salons Businesses Can Expect
We measure success by real business outcomes, not feature lists. For beauty & salons businesses, the key metrics are:
Booking rate: We set up tracking from day one so you can see the impact in real numbers.
Client retention: We set up tracking from day one so you can see the impact in real numbers.
Retail attachment rate: We set up tracking from day one so you can see the impact in real numbers.
Tech adoption in beauty & salons is at the medium level. About half of beauty & salons businesses now use some form of digital tools. But most are using off-the-shelf products that only partially fit. Custom software built around your actual workflows is the next step.
Typical investment: $500-1500. Most beauty & salons clients see measurable ROI within the first month.
How We Work with Beauty & Salons Clients
Discovery. You tell us about your beauty & salons business: what is working, what is not, and what you wish you had. We ask about your current tools, team size, and daily workflows.
Scoping and quote. We define exactly what we will build and send you a fixed-price quote. No hourly rates. For beauty & salons projects, this usually falls within $500-1500.
Build. We build your solution, typically within 3-8 weeks. You talk directly to our founder and lead engineer. No project managers or middlemen.
Launch and handover. We deploy, walk your team through everything, and provide ongoing support. You own all the code and data.
