Abstract

With this project, I will set out to create an online appointment book for hair and beauty salons. Customers will be able to log in and book appointments in advance at their salon of choice. Additionally, salons will be able to view the schedule online and book appointments into the database manually.

The project will harness Web 2.0 technologies to create a dynamic, database-backed web application. I plan on using a relational database implementation to store and retrieve appointments and customer data.

The target audience for this product will be salon owners as well as the general salon-going public (skewed female). In the same way OpenTable has revolutionized the reservation-making process for restaurants, this project will apply online scheduling to the hair and beauty industry.
