The Challenge
The beauty industry lacked a unified platform for job hunting, suite rentals, and training opportunities. Stylists had to browse multiple job boards, and salons struggled to find qualified candidates. Traditional platforms focused on only one category, leaving gaps for suite rentals and apprenticeships.
Our Solution
We built Hair for Hire, a Flutter-based two-sided marketplace with three listing types: job postings, salon suite rentals, and education/apprenticeship programs. Candidates build professional profiles with work history, licenses, and portfolios. Businesses manage listings and connect with candidates through Stream Chat. AI-powered listing generation helps businesses create professional descriptions instantly.
What shipped
iOS, Android, and web. Three listing types, licensed professional profiles, Stream Chat, Stripe, and Cognito — in the client’s own repos from the first commit. This is client work in the salon market we pitch, not a studio side project.
The outcome
Stylists and salons use one marketplace instead of a stack of job boards. The product is live on both app stores and the web. We do not publish crash rates or booking volume unless the client puts their name next to the number.
