Custom software development for hair salons.
Custom software development that fits a hair salon's week, not the other way around.
How the work runs
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.
Bookings, reminders and rebooking prompts handled automatically, so the chair stays full and the phone stays quiet.
An AI agency, minus the theatre.
*Every engagement is scoped and quoted up front. Results vary by workflow and business.
Small crew or big organisation, the busywork is the same :)
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.
Knows the New Zealand rules.
Business systems wired into the tools New Zealand organisations already run, like Xero, so data is entered once and stays consistent.
- Xero, founded in New Zealand
- GST at 15 per cent
- Payday filing, every payday
Small team.
Real systems.
Zero fluff.
What you get
We map the process with the people who do the work first, then build the smallest system that replaces the spreadsheet.
- Internal systems for jobs, quotes, stock, rosters and reporting
- Client and supplier portals with proper logins and permissions
- Integrations with Xero, Microsoft 365, Google Workspace and the tools you already run
- Code, data and hosting accounts owned by you from day one
- No shelfware or licences you do not use
- No AI theatre
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.
Good questions, answered
How do you price custom software development engagements?
Fixed-scope pilots first, then either project pricing or a small monthly retainer for the ongoing work. No long lock-ins, no 18-month black-box deals. Most hair salons are surprised how small the first cheque is.
When does custom software development actually pay back?
Inside the first quarter, in our experience. We pick the first slice specifically because it's the highest-leverage workflow for a hair salon - so the savings start landing before the rest of the build is finished.
Will this run on our own infrastructure?
Yes, where it makes sense. Custom software development can sit entirely in your cloud account, with model calls routed through endpoints you control. We default to TypeScript, Postgres, Next.js, Cloudflare, Xero API but the architecture supports your existing platform choices.
Can AI help with payday filing?
It can prepare it. Employers file employment information every payday, within 2 working days when filing electronically, and automation can have it ready for a person to check.
What happens when the Holidays Act is replaced?
The Employment Leave Act 2026 replaces it on 6 August 2028. Until then payroll follows the current Holidays Act, so leave calculations need to handle today's rules and the changeover.
