Semplu - Beauty Salon Booking Platform
Complete booking platform for beauty salons with mobile apps for customers and salon owners, including company formation and market launch.
Project Overview
Semplu was my most ambitious initial project: a complete booking platform for beauty salons with two separate mobile apps. Customers could book appointments, and salons could manage their services. I developed everything from scratch, founded a company, brought several salons onto the platform, and successfully published both apps on the App Store and Google Play Store.
