Pre-launch Hair & beauty / Website & booking system
Eli Did That
A complete salon website with online appointments, client accounts and appointment management.
Open the website
01 / The brief
Give a Laval hairstylist a complete online presence and a central place to manage appointments, with clients able to access their bookings.
02 / The approach
We built a complete appointment journey: choose a date, select a service and available time, then request an appointment as a guest. Returning customers can sign in to access their appointments; guests have a separate lookup route. On the business side, the owner accepts and manages appointments through her own dashboard developed with Payload CMS.
What this demonstrates
- Date, service and available-time selection
- Guest appointment requests without an account
- Customer account access and separate guest booking lookup
- Owner dashboard for accepting and managing appointments
- Payload CMS with PostgreSQL hosted on Supabase
- Email and SMS notifications with Resend and Twilio
- A foundation for adding staff in the future

Owner reviews & accepts
01
A guided booking process.
The calendar comes first. After choosing a day, visitors see services with their prices and durations, then available times associated with the stylist. The selected service and time carry through to the appointment request.
02
Book as a guest. Keep the process simple.
Clients can request an appointment without creating an account. The details step brings the selected service, date, time and price together, then collects a name, email address, mobile number and optional note. SMS updates have their own consent choice. The request then goes to the owner for acceptance.
03
Two clear ways back to a booking.
The customer access page separates existing accounts from guest bookings. Account holders sign in to view and manage appointments connected to their profile. Guests can retrieve a booking using the appointment ID and private access code from their confirmation.
04
Guest access beyond the initial request.
Guest booking is supported after the request as well. A dedicated lookup asks for the appointment ID and private access code, giving guests a route back to their appointment without creating an account.
Her appointments. Her own dashboard.
We developed the owner’s appointment dashboard with Payload CMS so she can accept incoming requests and manage appointments in one place. The public booking flow and client access are connected to this management system, giving her control over what happens after a client requests a time.
- Review incoming appointment requests
- Accept and manage appointments through her dashboard
- Keep client-facing booking and business management connected
- Allow for additional staff as the business grows
