Bellora — Salon & Personal Services Booking App
Bellora is a native iOS and Android app connecting customers with salons, spas, and independent personal-care providers for on-demand and scheduled bookings, with real-time availability, in-app payments, and a companion dashboard for salon owners.
Project Overview
Bellora is a cross-platform mobile app connecting customers with salons, spas, and independent personal-care providers for on-demand and scheduled bookings.
Customers can browse nearby salons, compare services and pricing, and book appointments with a specific stylist in real time from their phone.
Salon owners and independent providers get a companion dashboard to manage staff schedules, services, and incoming bookings from a single system.
