My role

I led development end to end across iOS, Android and web, from requirements gathering through architecture, delivery, deployment and ongoing support.

The challenge

Barbers run their business from their phone, between cuts. Booking, rescheduling and getting paid had to take seconds, and every shop wanted an app that felt like its own.

01 — The apps

Booking, by a barber.

Branded customer apps for iPhone and Android alongside the shop dashboard. Clients book, pay and get reminders, and the barber runs the day from one screen.

02 — Redesign

40% more efficient booking.

A UX redesign and workflow optimisation cut the steps between “I need a cut” and a confirmed slot.

03 — Platform

Everything they charge extra for.

A scalable backend for real-time scheduling and notifications, powering no-show protection, memberships, wallet split payouts, staff roles and marketing reminders.
