Mobile apps for hair salons.
The version of mobile apps that hair salons still use a year after launch.
Bookings, reminders and rebooking prompts handled automatically, so the chair stays full and the phone stays quiet.
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.
Not your typical AI agency.
*Every engagement is scoped and quoted up front. Results vary by workflow and business.
Knows the New Zealand rules.
Mobile apps that keep working with patchy coverage and sync later, built for crews working outside the main centres.
- ACC levies set by industry
- Payday filing, every payday
- 11 public holidays, plus yours
One workflow.
In production.
In weeks.
What mobile apps covers
Most first releases are in the stores inside 8 weeks, not 8 months.
- One codebase for iOS and Android, so you are not paying twice
- We handle App Store and Google Play submission and review
- Works offline in the ute, syncs when the signal comes back
- Push notifications your team will actually read, not noise
- No AI theatre
- No shelfware or licences you do not use
Hair salons run their businesses unlike anyone else.
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.
Questions hair salons ask
What's the realistic outcome for hair salons?
Most first releases are in the stores inside 8 weeks, not 8 months. We don't promise tenfold lifts because we don't see them outside of marketing decks.
When does mobile apps 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. Mobile apps can sit entirely in your cloud account, with model calls routed through endpoints you control. We default to React Native, Expo, Swift, Kotlin, Supabase, Cloudflare Workers but the architecture supports your existing platform choices.
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.
Does scheduling handle public holidays?
It should. New Zealand has 11 national public holidays, including Matariki, plus a regional anniversary day that depends on where your business is.
