Kandy Strands
A luxury salon experience that begins before the appointment — cinematic imagery, 61 services and a custom appointment planner.
The approach
The custom build
“A salon sells a feeling before it sells a service. The site had to look like the finish and work like the front desk.”
From inspiration to appointment
Before you ask
What people want to know next.
Could you build something like this for us?
Yes, and it would not look like this. Every case study here started from a different business with different customers, and the shape of the work followed. What carries over is the method: understand what the customer is actually trying to do, then build the front and the back of it as one thing.
How much of this is custom, and how much is a template?
The design is drawn for the client every time. The engineering is custom wherever the business logic is — booking rules, pricing, roles, scheduling — and boring, proven tooling everywhere else. We do not rebuild what already works, and we do not force a business into a template that nearly fits.
Who writes the words and takes the photographs?
We do the words with you, in a working session rather than a questionnaire. Photography is either yours, art-directed by us, or shot by a photographer we bring in. Nothing ships as placeholder text.
Can we update it ourselves afterwards?
Yes. Prices, services, articles and images live in one place per site, and we hand over a short written walkthrough of the parts you will actually touch. If you would rather not touch it at all, we keep it maintained instead.
What happens if something breaks at nine on a Friday?
You reach a person, not a ticket queue. Every site is monitored, backed up and version-controlled, so rolling back a bad change takes minutes.
Where do we start?
A call, and a look at what you already have. If the honest answer is that you need less than a full rebuild, we will say so — several of the projects here began that way.
