Overview

Barber Boost is a mobile-first platform I designed to help independent barbers and barbershops grow their business using AI-powered tools. The app focuses on simplifying client booking, enhancing customer engagement, and automating marketing—all in one intuitive experience. Built with React Native and Firebase, it’s designed to meet barbers where they are on the go.

Problem

Independent barbers struggle with scattered tools—manual bookings, inconsistent marketing, and no way to personalize customer experiences. Existing platforms like TheCut offer appointment scheduling but lack deeper AI-driven engagement or automation that modern barbers need to thrive.

Solution

I created Barber Boost as a centralized, AI-powered app designed for personalization and growth.

Key features include:

  • Intelligent Booking System:
    Real-time scheduling with auto-reminders.

  • Style Scout:
    An AI tool that offers personalized hairstyle recommendations based on selfies.

  • Automated Marketing:
    Social media posts, loyalty messages, and rebooking nudges generated via AI.

  • Client Insights Dashboard:
    Tracks visit history, preferences, and product recommendations.

Design-wise, I developed a smooth onboarding flow, intuitive tab navigation, and clean visual hierarchy to make the app feel empowering, not overwhelming.
