The beauty & personal care problem in New Orleans

What's really happening with salons, spas, and beauty brands here.

The pattern we see

Here's what we hear from New Orleans salons, spas, and beauty brands: "booking platform eats 5–10% of every appointment and keeps your client data." We've heard it in the French Quarter, we've heard it in the Garden District, and we hear it in every Orleans Parish intake call. The tools your team uses weren't built for New Orleans, weren't built for beauty & personal care, and weren't built for how your operation actually runs.

How we build for New Orleans

Not a template. A custom stack, assembled for your operation.

We build the custom software layer your New Orleans beauty & personal care operation actually needs. That means online booking with stylist preferences and preferences memory, branded retail sales with pickup or ship, and membership and package plans with autopay — wired into Stripe and Square so your existing stack keeps working. The outcome: own your client data and lift rebook rate. The benchmark: salons typically see 25–40% higher rebook rate from app users.

New Orleans is not a generic market and your app shouldn't be generic either. The tourism, shipping, and energy mix here shapes how salons, spas, and beauty brands operate — from the customer profile in the French Quarter to the operational tempo around Mid-City. We've built software for hospitality and retail operations across Orleans Parish, and that context shows up in every product decision we ship.

What we build

Five services. One retainer. Pick what fits, or stack them.

Branded Mobile App

  • native iOS and Android from a single codebase
  • App Store and Play Store submission under your developer accounts
  • push notifications, deep linking, and offline support
Typical timeline: 6–10 weeks

Web Application

  • production-grade React/Next.js front end
  • custom domain, SSL, and CDN delivery
  • role-based access and admin dashboards
Typical timeline: 4–8 weeks

Custom Internal Software

The internal tool Stripe and Square couldn't build for your New Orleans operation. loyalty and referral program, role-based access, and full audit trails.

  • workflow automation and approval chains
  • data import/export and reporting exports
Typical timeline: 5–10 weeks

Systems Integration

Make Stripe, Square, Vagaro — the stack your New Orleans beauty & personal care team already depends on — finally behave as one system. Two-way sync, queue-backed retries, monitoring.

  • two-way sync across CRM, billing, and ops systems
  • webhooks, API proxies, and queue-backed retries
  • monitoring, alerting, and error remediation
Typical timeline: 3–6 weeks

A product + engineering team on retainer. Weekly feature releases, uptime monitoring, and a monthly roadmap built around the New Orleans beauty & personal care market's changing demands — not a fixed-bid handoff.

  • monthly product roadmap with your leadership
  • feature releases every 2 weeks
  • uptime monitoring, patching, and incident response
Typical timeline: ongoing

How we build beauty & personal care apps in New Orleans

Three phases. No surprises.

01

Design Review

We ship a clickable prototype in week 2 and walk through it with your team — in person when you're in New Orleans, on video when scheduling won't allow. You approve, we build.

02

Ship & Iterate

Your app ships within 6–10 weeks. Weekly release cadence after launch, with product-engineering retainer that treats your beauty & personal care business like a product, not a project.

03

Integrate & Migrate

We migrate your existing data from Stripe (and whatever else your New Orleans team already uses) so day-one launch doesn't lose a single customer or record.

Integrations we plug into

Keep the tools your New Orleans team already knows. We build around them, not over them.

Frequently asked questions

Specific to salons, spas, and beauty brands in New Orleans.

Do you work with salons, spas, and beauty brands outside New Orleans?

Yes. We serve the full Orleans Parish service area within roughly 25 miles of New Orleans, and we work remotely across the US. Most New Orleans projects get same-week on-site kickoffs when requested.

What does a beauty & personal care app cost for a New Orleans business?

$850/month, all-in. That covers design, development, hosting, support, and ongoing iteration. No per-seat fees, no per-transaction cuts, no surprise invoices. Most salons, spas, and beauty brands we work with in Orleans Parish recover the monthly cost within the first quarter through own your client data and lift rebook rate.

What about deposits and cancellation fees?

Built in. Require a deposit on booking, set cancellation windows, and automatically capture the fee if a client no-shows. Reduces lost revenue meaningfully.

Can stylists sell retail through the app?

Yes. Each stylist gets attributed retail sales with commission tracking. Clients can reorder favorites with one tap between appointments.

Do we own the code and the data?

Yes. Your codebase, your App Store and Play Store listings, your customer data. If you ever decide to leave, we hand over a clean repo and a documented deployment. No lock-in, no exit fee.
