Overview

The Challenge

Shars Hair Lab needed an online booking experience built around how the salon actually runs: services, availability, and payments all in one flow. I built a custom WordPress theme and a custom plugin from scratch to handle bookings, backed by Square for payment processing and scheduling.

Process

How it was built

01

A Custom Theme and Booking Plugin

Rather than bolting a generic booking plugin onto a template, I built a custom WordPress theme matched to the salon's brand and a custom plugin to manage services, staff, and availability, giving full control over the booking flow end to end.

02

Square for Payments and Scheduling

The booking plugin integrates directly with the Square API, handling service selection, scheduling, and payment in a single checkout so appointments and transactions stay in sync automatically without manual reconciliation.
