Glow by Kristy
Mobile spray-tan business
A marketing site and booking app for a mobile spray-tan business — a multi-step booking wizard, session-balance packs, and real accounts with SMS notifications.
The challenge
A mobile spray-tan specialist travels to clients and needed to launch an entire business online from nothing. The commercial model — pre-purchased session packs and a membership — is the product, so the booking and balance experience had to be the centerpiece.
“Sell the specialist, take the booking, and keep the relationship — with the session-balance the star of the show.”
The approach
- 01
Built a premium marketing landing page framing Kristy as a trusted beauty professional, not a discount salon.
- 02
Designed a mobile-first, multi-step booking flow: choose package → date/time/location → account → pay or draw down a pack.
- 03
Stood up real accounts on Supabase with email, magic-link, and SMS OTP login, plus Stripe checkout and a billing portal.
- 04
Centered the customer dashboard on the session-balance metaphor — “you have 6 sessions left on your Glow Pass.”
Design iteration
The commercial model as the design
Rather than a generic booking widget, the whole experience was shaped around the four pricing tiers and the session-balance ledger. Messaging was deliberately chosen too — iMessage was investigated and rejected (no public API), landing on SMS and WhatsApp via Twilio, with browser web-push for re-engagement.
