Creating a complete digital experience for a beauty salon.
Glamour Touch Nails & Beauty was developed as a full-stack web application focused on improving the customer booking experience while providing management tools for salon owners.
The platform allows customers to explore services, view staff profiles, browse the gallery, create personalised nail designs and securely manage appointments through an online booking system.
A salon website should feel personal, not transactional.
Many booking platforms focus only on scheduling, but beauty services are built around creativity, trust and personal expression.
Glamour Touch was designed to combine practical functionality with a more engaging experience by allowing users to explore styles, connect with the brand and visualise their own nail ideas before booking.
Building a scalable salon platform with Laravel.
The application was developed using Laravel to handle backend logic, authentication, database management and user interactions.
- User authentication with customer and owner accounts
- Database-driven services, staff and appointment management
- Secure login and logout functionality
- Responsive interface designed around usability
From online booking to creative nail design.
The platform combines essential salon functionality with interactive features that improve user engagement.
- Online appointment booking system allowing customers to schedule services
- Owner dashboard functionality for managing salon content and appointments
- Staff page showcasing available beauty professionals
- Gallery experience displaying previous nail designs
- Interactive canvas allowing users to create and experiment with custom nail designs
- Newsletter footer allowing users to stay updated with salon news and offers
Connecting users, owners and salon operations.
A relational database structure was implemented to manage user accounts, appointments, services and salon information.
Laravel authentication was used to create separate experiences for customers and salon owners, ensuring users can securely access relevant features.
A complete salon experience built for both customers and owners.
The final application demonstrates how full-stack development and thoughtful UX design can transform a traditional salon website into an interactive digital service platform.
Glamour Touch combines business functionality with creativity, giving users a smoother booking experience while providing owners with tools to manage their online presence.
Designing and developing the complete application.
I was responsible for designing and developing the Glamour Touch platform from concept through implementation. This included creating the user interface, home page, create page, appointments as well as developing backend functionality with Laravel, designing the database structure, implementing authentication and building interactive features.
The project allowed me to explore the relationship between user experience, database-driven applications and creative digital interactions.
