As personal care services, including hair and nail salons, are starting to pick up during the pandemic, University of Cape Town (UCT) students have developed an app to help with booking appointments and reduce queues.
“This means the stylist will have more control over the health and safety measures they have in place, like sanitising, because it’s a one-on-one service,” he said.
“As part of our mission to improve, while adhering to strict health guidelines during this pandemic, and still accommodating our customers [stylists] and their customers, we had to make some changes.”A built-in feature also enables stylists to track their monthly income, making financial planning a lot easier.
“We’ve received great feedback from our clients, as well their clients, especially during this time. This has reinforced our commitment to ensure that all stylists, big and small, have a fighting chance in the market and are able to connect with customers in an efficient way,” said Gevenga.
