I turned a solo colourist's DM-and-voicemail booking chaos into a self-serve flow where clients book and pay a deposit in under a minute, while automations handle reminders, rebooking nudges, and waitlist backfill so the owner spends her time on hair, not admin.

Ripple: book an Influencer the way you'd book a hotel 💧
Working with Influencer is still messy: DMs that go nowhere, rates you have to chase, contracts over email, and paying upfront with no guarantee.
Ripple puts the whole deal in one place:
• Discover Influencers matched to your Brand campaign, with real stats and a clear rate card
• Send a request and negotiate terms in chat
• Approve a proposal that both sides can see, line by line
• Sign once and it's binding for both sides
• Pay by phase, held in escrow until the work is approved
From "who should we work with?" to "booked" in minutes.

This is such a needed concept, Praveen! 👏 The influencer booking process is honestly a nightmare right now. Love how you simplified it like booking a hotel - super clear positioning. The design in the video looks clean too! 💧
I hate to say this but this project is an unforgettable experience for me.
I heard about this competition on Sep 26th from Lovable's X profile. Then I had a sip of redbull and started building this overnight.
I wasn't sure, that it would turnout great or not. But I had hope that it may turn out well.
Today after 17 days, I can proudly say that I built this project single-handedly.
If you are a client looking to build something like this, you can contact me and I will build it for you. TBH I don't care about money just the experience.
Thank you to everyone who cheered on me. 😍❤️

What does confidence look like on a website?
For NYRA Beauty, a luxury makeup and beauty studio in SoHo, New York, it looks like a page that feels expensive before you’ve read a word of it.
A beauty studio sells a feeling. But the person booking has practical worries too: Will they match my skin tone? Can I trust these artists? Will it last all day? The design had to deliver the feeling and answer the worries.
Here’s how I approached it:
→ Set the mood first. A dark, warm palette of espresso, champagne, and gold, with soft serif headlines and editorial photography. The hero line, “More than makeup. It’s confidence,” says what the studio is really about.
→ Make the services feel like experiences. Not a price list. “Rituals of radiance, tailored to you” introduces four signature offerings: Signature Makeup, Bridal Couture, Hairstyling, and Skin & Glow Rituals.
→ Prove the details. “Luxury is in the details no one sees, but everyone feels” is backed by specifics: skin-first prep, true-tone matching across 40+ foundation shades, and an all-day lock that lasts 16 hours. The proof is what makes the premium price feel fair.
→ Introduce the people. “Hands you can trust with your face” shows each artist with their name and specialty. Nobody wants to hand their face to a stranger.
→ Let clients do the selling. A “Love Notes” section with real-sounding reviews from brides and editorial clients, then a clear booking prompt with a $50 deposit so the next step feels simple.
What I took from this one: in luxury services, the website is the first appointment. If it feels careless, no one will trust the studio with their face.
What’s the one detail that makes you trust a service business before you’ve ever visited?
