The challenge

Salon owners juggle WhatsApp bookings, paper calendars, and manual commission math. Client history lives in memory or scattered notes, and revenue only becomes visible after slow end-of-week reconciliation.

Our solution

SalonFlow provides a unified dashboard for appointments, stylist schedules, service catalogs, and client records. Completed visits convert to invoices with commission tracking, SMS reminders cut no-shows, and M-Pesa-aligned checkout matches local payment habits.

Architecture

• Django REST API for appointments, clients, services, and billing
• React web app with responsive calendar and front-desk workflows
• PostgreSQL for transactional data and client history
• Redis for session caching and background reminder jobs
• M-Pesa and SMS gateway integrations for payments and notifications

Results

Salons move from ad-hoc scheduling to a single system for the day's bookings, client notes, and stylist earnings. Owners get daily revenue visibility; staff spend less time on admin and more time with clients.
