App development for hair salons.
iOS, Android and web apps, built around how a hair salon actually works.
From one-person trades to national organisations, we find the hours :)
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.
Bookings, reminders and rebooking prompts handled automatically, so the chair stays full and the phone stays quiet.
What we keep hearing from NZ 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.
How it works in New Zealand
We find the one workflow costing hair salons the most hours, ship a working slice into production in weeks, prove it pays for itself, then harden it and hand it over.
Knows the New Zealand rules.
Apps in New Zealand English that keep working on patchy rural coverage, with personal information handled under the Privacy Act 2020.
- Serious breaches get reported
- Personal data sent offshore
- 11 public holidays, plus yours
Small team.
Real systems.
Zero fluff.
What you get
We'd call the engagement a success when hair salons are using the system without thinking about us.
- iOS, Android and web from one team, on one codebase where it fits
- Backend, database and admin screens built alongside the app
- App Store and Google Play releases handled for you
- Screens designed with your staff and customers before code is written
- No AI theatre
- No annual contracts
Good questions, answered
Can you work with our existing systems?
Yes. The default app development stack we reach for is Expo, React Native, Swift, Kotlin, Next.js, Postgres, but we'll bend it around whatever you already run - Xero, HubSpot, Shopify, Cin7, your own in-house apps. The discovery week maps every data source before any build starts.
Can you walk us through a comparable build?
Yes - on the first call we'll pick the closest engagement we've shipped to what you're describing and walk through the outcome, the headcount and the time it took. You get a working build on your own phone early in the project, so decisions are made on the real app rather than on slides.
Are there hidden costs we should plan for?
Three to know about: model/API spend (which we set up under your own account, not ours, so you see and control it), any new SaaS subscriptions we recommend, and your team's time during rollout. We surface all three in the quote so there are no surprises.
Can it remind us about the annual return?
Yes. Every company must file an annual return with the Companies Office each year, separate from its tax return.
Is our data kept in New Zealand?
Kiwi Dynamics hosts its own infrastructure in New Zealand, under New Zealand governance. If personal information ever has to go offshore, privacy principle 12 requires comparable protection.
