01
The problem
Appointments came in by phone and message while the staff had their hands busy. The paper diary was the only source of truth, double bookings were routine, and nobody knew which services actually made money.
02
The approach
I worked from the chair outwards. The client-facing booking had to be finishable in under a minute on a phone; the internal calendar had to be readable at a glance from across the room.
03
Work to date
Online appointment booking with per-service duration and staff selection
Shared calendar with staff columns and conflict prevention
Client records with history, preferences and contact details
Operations dashboard covering revenue, services and occupancy
Automated reminders to reduce no-shows
04
Next developments
Further refinements can follow salon feedback on booking and day-to-day scheduling; no additional release scope is confirmed.
05
Current status
Live
Bookings arrive without interrupting the work, the diary is no longer a single sheet of paper, and the owner can see which services carry the week.
