Nail Art Booking Platform

Project Overview

A full-stack web application designed for booking nail services with real-time availability, secure payments, and an admin dashboard. The system ensures smooth appointment scheduling while preventing double bookings and managing customer data efficiently.

Problem Statement

Many small beauty businesses rely on manual booking systems, leading to scheduling conflicts, missed appointments, and inefficient payment handling. There was a need for a centralized platform that automates bookings and payments.

Solution

• Built a full-stack booking platform with real-time availability validation.
• Integrated Stripe payments for secure online transactions.
• Designed an admin dashboard for managing bookings and services.
• Implemented backend APIs using FastAPI for high performance.

Key Features

Challenges & Learnings

• Implemented secure Stripe webhook handling for payment confirmation.
• Managed async communication between frontend and backend.
• Designed relational database schema for bookings and services.
• Resolved deployment issues between Vercel (frontend) and Render (backend).

Architecture

Frontend (React) hosted on Vercel communicates with a FastAPI backend hosted on Render. PostgreSQL is used for persistent data storage, while Stripe handles payment processing and Cloudinary manages media uploads.

Outcome

Delivered a production-ready booking platform that improves scheduling efficiency and provides a seamless user experience. Demonstrates real-world full-stack development with payments, APIs, and deployment.
