Hey, there! Thanks for taking the time to check out my personal passion project, the Salon Companion.

In this case study I hope to demonstrate how this innovative solution reshapes the salon experience. I’ll walk you through the process of creating something completely new that has the potential to add a user touch point to the time between booking an appointment for a haircut and when you’re finally sitting in the chair. I’ve come up with a product that I think will make the process easier for both the stylist and the client. 

At the beginning of this project, I delved into my background as a hairstylist, remembering the common communication hurdles I experienced in the salon space. Exploring conversations with former clients revealed an opportunity. Beyond mere stylist-client compatibility, I unearthed a core struggle: effective information exchange within tight timelines.

As we dive into the problem space, you’ll see my process - from brainstorming to crafting a viable solution. Quick iterations and incorporating user feedback honed this concept into a practical, scalable product. The result? A tool that promises fluent, confident communication between stylists and their clients before they even step foot in the door.

My hope for this study is to display not just a product, but a strategic approach to problem solving that generates insights, adapts to feedback, and provides creative and effective solutions. Thank you for considering this case study as a reflection of my capabilities and passion for exceptional UX design.
