Concept build. Marlowe & Ash is a fictional studio, made for the Lovable appointment-booking challenge. The booking, payments (Polar sandbox), emails and alerts are real.
The brief I gave myself
A solo colourist, one chair, 3 to 5 hour appointments, a Saturday rush and a no-show problem that leaves an empty chair. She can't answer "can I book?" while she has foils on, so the site has to do it for her.
What it does
Live availability with double-booking prevention and a buffer between appointments
Consult-first rule for new clients who want big colour changes
Two payment options: half deposit through Polar, or pay at the salon with a confirm tap 48 hours ahead. Unconfirmed slots are released
Reschedule and cancel rules by deposit and notice period, with automatic refunds
Waitlist that offers a freed slot and refills it
Confirmation, reminder and aftercare emails through Resend, with calendar files
Telegram alerts for the owner through n8n
Customer sign-in with email link, Google, Microsoft or Apple, so bookings follow the client's email
Gift cards and a stamp card
Owner dashboard with blocked dates, working hours, pause bookings, CSV export and a weekly summary of the work the site handled
