The Problem
People who need a haircut now but… can’t do it due to various reasons and find themselves stuck, or people arriving in a new city looking for a new barber but not knowing where to start.
Noam's story
Do you know that feeling when you unexpectedly leave the military base after being there for 21 days, and you want to get a haircut because you haven’t get haircut much lately, but your barber’s book is full and you can’t make an appointment right away, so you’re stuck!!
But there is already the “Easy” app no?

In essence, we can say there’s easy, which is essentially a platform for connecting local businesses through a search engine and by providing accessible data about business owners, events, and more in Israel. the usage operates with the help of GPS.”

- It provides us with objective information about businesses listed there, like addresses, phone numbers, and more."
- a lot of filters are available, such as filtering by distance, for example
But it still doesn’t solve the pain point of that guy who wants to get a haircut right now but why?
Pain point
The pain point of noam is that he wants to get a haircut immediately. The issue is that in the easy app, it will take time for him to find a barber immediately because .....
First, you get in the app.
After you get in the app, you filter by the type of barber you're looking for
And then the list of barber appears according to my filter, but... how do I know who has available appointments now?
And then the list of barber appears according to my filter, but... how do I know who has available appointments now?
I go from barber to barber and check if there's an available appointment today, if there's any availability at all.
I don't know because it's not listed, so what do I do?
And it's not enough; to schedule an appointment, I need to register...

This process takes a long time and can be frustrating for someone who wants to get a haircut now. Let's see the solution I came up with.
The solution
Finding a barber at the last minute.
So, the idea behind the app is essentially to bring together all hair stylists and barbers in one place. The key feature that is most significant in the app is that it allows you to find available appointments on the same day. This can actually help people who are stuck and need a haircut immediately, and the app operates based on GPS.
User interface
And this is basically my design solution that shows how I addressed the pain points I presented along the way.
Your location
During the setup of the app, please enable location services to see nearby hair stylists and barbers based on your location.
Home page
Filter
And this is the filters section. This way, you can find the barber you need. you can filter by distance or by price, and of course, most importantly, filter by available appointments for today.
The barber page
The barber page basically provides us with information about the hair designer, such as scheduling appointments, directions to the salon/ barbershop, about their salon/barbershop, recent works, reviews, and more.
Appointment scheduling
The process explains how to schedule an appointment, including the different hairstyles/cuts offered by the same barbershop. it includes their prices and available time slots for booking. additionally, there’s an option to schedule for a later date. afterward, the appointment will be visible in the ‘my appointments’ section.”
