for the salons setting the tier-2 bar.

india's beauty and wellness market crosses ₹2.3 lakh crore by 2025-26 at 18-20% cagr. looks salon is adding twenty-five outlets in 2026 with explicit tier-2 and tier-3 focus; naturals operates 650+ outlets. men's grooming chains are pushing into the northeast. the under-served tier in guwahati, shillong, and imphal is the level just above the local salon — air-conditioned, predictable pricing, online booking, hygiene standards.

the customer who books online once is twice as likely to return. the salon that remembers their last cut, their hair colour formula, their preferred stylist, and texts them at the right interval — that is the salon that builds a list rather than a footfall.

// what we build

the digital layer, end to end.

// 01

online booking with stylist selection.

service catalogue with transparent pricing, available slots in real time, stylist preference, deposit collection. mobile-first because that is where the customer is. no phone tag, no instagram dm chains.

// next.js · booking engine · stylist scheduling

// 02

customer profile + service history.

what they had done, when, by whom, with what products. allergies and preferences noted. the stylist sees the history before the customer sits down. that is the difference between a chain and a corner shop.
