The Challenge
Unifying salon discovery with partner operations management.
India's beauty and salon industry operates through fragmented local discovery — customers rely on walk-ins or social media searches, while salon owners lack digital tools for booking management, revenue tracking, and staff coordination.
StylePlus Unit partnered with Bugbattlers to build a dual-app ecosystem: a consumer-facing app for exploring and booking nearby salons (with Premium/Standard filters), and a dedicated Partner app giving salon owners a real-time revenue dashboard, auto-booking controls, and staff management tools.
