The short version
A bold, creative site for a North London hair studio. Clients choose a style, pick a time, and pay a deposit online, and the studio runs it all from a dashboard.
Melr Hair needed a website with as much personality as the studio, and a booking system that protects the stylist's time. The design leads with big type and bold photography so visitors know straight away that this is a creative studio.
Booking is one smooth path: choose a service, add extras, pick a date and time, and the chosen slot is held for thirty minutes while the client pays. A bag holds appointments and shop products together, so a deposit and a product order are paid in one go.
Behind the scenes, a dashboard lets the studio manage its services, prices, availability, shop and policies. There is even a waiting list for fully booked days, and a private message link so clients can reply to the studio by text.
