Find salons nearby
The Discover screen lists salons by distance with the rating, the type of work they do and the next free time. Filters such as Hair, Skin, Nails and Men narrow the list.
Curlcove is a salon marketplace app designed and built by our team. Customers find salons nearby, compare services and prices, choose a stylist and book a free slot. Salons run their day from a web calendar.
Curlcove was designed and built by the PRS CloudTech team.
The brief
Booking a haircut or a facial still means phone calls, chat messages and waiting for a reply. Customers do not know which stylist is free, what the service costs or how long it takes.
Salons have the same trouble from the other side. The front desk answers calls instead of looking after people in the chair. Bookings live in a notebook, in chat and in someone's head, so slots get double booked or left empty.
Clear choices
Customers should compare salons by distance, rating, service and price before they book.
Real free slots
The app should only show times that are truly open for the chosen service and stylist.
Fewer no-shows
Reminders and a simple change or cancel option keep chairs filled.
One calendar for the salon
App bookings and walk-ins should appear together, by stylist, so the day is easy to run.
What we designed
Curlcove follows a customer from the first search to the visit, and gives the salon a calendar for the whole day.
The Discover screen lists salons by distance with the rating, the type of work they do and the next free time. Filters such as Hair, Skin, Nails and Men narrow the list.
A salon page shows each service with its price and how long it takes. Customers tick more than one, and the total price and time update as they go.
The customer picks a stylist, or any stylist, then a day. Only slots long enough for the chosen services are shown. Taken times are greyed out.
After booking, the customer gets a reminder before the visit. The Bookings screen has directions, a reschedule button and a one-tap Book again for past visits.
Staff see the day in one column per stylist. App bookings and walk-ins show side by side, and the app points out gaps that could take another customer.
After each visit the customer can rate the salon and the stylist. Past visits stay in the app, which makes it quick to book the same service again.

The mobile app
How it works
Here is how the main tasks work in the app, from a search to a finished visit.
Book a haircut
The customer opens Discover, picks a salon, ticks two services, chooses a stylist and a time, and confirms in under a minute.
Change a plan
Before the visit the customer opens Bookings and taps Reschedule. A free cancel window of a few hours applies.
Run the day
The salon opens the calendar, adds a walk-in to a free gap and sees which stylist is free next.
Book again
After the visit the customer rates the salon and uses Book again to repeat the same service.

FAQ
It is an app that lists many salons in one place. A customer searches by area or service, sees prices and open slots, and books without calling. Each salon manages its own calendar.
The cost depends on the number of apps, how many salons join, payment and SMS needs, and whether you want a single brand or an open marketplace. Starting with booking, calendar and reminders keeps the first release small.
Yes. We can build it for a group of salons, a single chain or an open marketplace, with Android and iOS apps and a web dashboard for your staff.
Every booking, from the app or added by staff for a walk-in, goes into one calendar. A slot taken by one person cannot be booked by another, and a stylist's time off blocks the slots.
Yes. The booking screen lets customers choose a named stylist or pick any stylist and get the next free slot. Staff see who is booked in each column of the calendar.
