My friend Elizabeth runs Lizzy Empire, a hair & beauty studio in Durumi, Abuja, one chair, one artist, appointments ranging from a 45-minute wash to an 8-hour bridal callout across town.
Her bottleneck was never the work. It was the logistics: every booking lived in WhatsApp DM, or a phone call and sometimes she forgets which client is which, and a callout appointment didn't block anything that stopped a walk-in client from showing up at her salon the same afternoon.
For the lovable challenge, I built her a simple PWA. This solution lets a client pick a service, choose salon or callout, and only ever see real open time, a 6-hour braid appointment blocks the whole afternoon automatically, whether she's in the shop or at a client's door. A deposit locks the slot in.
The part I'm most proud of: Elizabeth can add, price, retire her own services from her own dashboard and manage her schedule effectively.
