The beauty & personal care problem in Philadelphia
What's really happening with salons, spas, and beauty brands here.
The pattern we see
Here's what we hear from Philadelphia salons, spas, and beauty brands: "booking platform eats 5–10% of every appointment and keeps your client data." We've heard it in Center City, we've heard it in Fishtown, and we hear it in every Philadelphia County intake call. The tools your team uses weren't built for Philadelphia, weren't built for beauty & personal care, and weren't built for how your operation actually runs.
How we build for Philadelphia
Not a template. A custom stack, assembled for your operation.
We build the custom software layer your Philadelphia 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.
Philadelphia's institutional, healthcare + education dominant business community has specific expectations. We design to them. That means a level of polish matched to Center City benchmarks, an operational fit tuned to Philadelphia County workflows, and integrations that respect the tools Philadelphia salons, spas, and beauty brands already depend on — Stripe, Square, Vagaro to name a few.

How we build beauty & personal care apps in Philadelphia
Three phases. No surprises.
Design Review
We ship a clickable prototype in week 2 and walk through it with your team — in person when you're in Philadelphia, on video when scheduling won't allow. You approve, we build.
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.
Integrate & Migrate
We migrate your existing data from Stripe (and whatever else your Philadelphia team already uses) so day-one launch doesn't lose a single customer or record.
Integrations we plug into
Keep the tools your Philadelphia team already knows. We build around them, not over them.
Compliance, architected in
Requirements drive architecture, not retrofits. We scope compliance into the build from day one.
Frequently asked questions
Specific to salons, spas, and beauty brands in Philadelphia.
Do you work with salons, spas, and beauty brands outside Philadelphia?
Yes. We serve the full Philadelphia County service area within roughly 30 miles of Philadelphia, and we work remotely across the US. Most Philadelphia projects get same-week on-site kickoffs when requested.
What does a beauty & personal care app cost for a Philadelphia 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 Philadelphia County recover the monthly cost within the first quarter through own your client data and lift rebook rate.
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.
Does it handle memberships?
Yes. Monthly memberships with included services, discount tiers, and autopay. Great for building MRR on top of per-service revenue.
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.
