Android app development for hair salons.
Built for the hair salon who's already tried the off-the-shelf option and bounced off it.
Bookings, reminders and rebooking prompts handled automatically, so the chair stays full and the phone stays quiet.
Knows the New Zealand rules.
Apps for crews on the move that keep working when coverage drops out and sync when the signal comes back.
- Holidays Act until August 2028
- Xero, founded in New Zealand
- ACC levies set by industry
Already buried in admin? We'll sort the first workflow for you :)
Nine hours a week of admin is 468 hours a year. That could drop to about 52.*
*Illustrative, based on 9 hours a week of admin at a typical 80% automation rate. The calculator uses your own numbers.
What changes for hair salons after this lands: the work that used to need a person stays done, the work that needs a person gets done with their attention undivided. Built and tested against real mid-range devices, not just the newest phone in the office. Kiwi Dynamics
The two or three things that decide whether this works for hair salons.
Salons run on a fully booked chair, and every gap in the calendar is revenue that doesn't come back.
Rebooking, no-show follow-ups, and client reminders are what keep a salon's calendar full without constant manual chasing.
On the tools or running at scale, the admin still eats the week :)
Quotes with GST, consent paperwork, LBP records and health and safety logs: the admin every New Zealand trade business carries.
*Illustrative example based on nine hours a week of admin. Actual results vary by workflow and business.
Not your typical AI agency.
*Every engagement is scoped and quoted up front. Results vary by workflow and business.
Straight answers
What's the smallest engagement you'd take on?
A two-week paid discovery for hair salons that aren't sure whether the build is worth doing at all. You get a one-page write-up of what we'd build, what we'd skip, and what it would cost. About 30% of those discoveries end with us recommending you don't proceed.
What if our hair salon doesn't have any data ready?
Most don't. Getting the data into shape - ingestion, cleaning, the lightweight contracts you need before any model is useful - is part of the engagement. For android app development specifically, we typically run that work on Kotlin, Jetpack Compose, Expo, Google Play Console, Firebase and assume messy starting conditions from day one.
Has this actually shipped for a real hair salon?
Yes. Built and tested against real mid-range devices, not just the newest phone in the office. We'll share comparable engagements on the call.
Can it keep track of ACC levies?
Yes. ACC work levies are set by the classification unit your work falls under, and self-employed people are invoiced after filing their tax return.
Do you work with Xero?
Yes. Xero is one of the systems we build around, and we connect to the other tools you already run rather than asking you to switch.
