So I decided to build a solution using my tech skills.

💡 Introducing Flawless

The role of salon lock manager was incredibly challenging.
I handled:
📞 Phone calls for booking
📋 Task delegation
📦 Inventory & finances
😓 Client issues
All while trying to keep operations smooth — and it wasn’t easy.
Mistakes were common. The process was exhausting.

After years of working in the beauty industry as a stylist, loctician, and salon lock manager.
During that time, I noticed a huge gap in how salons manage day-to-day operations.
Everything was done manually, and it caused chaos. 😩

I think modern computer software was a mistake and we should go back to our roots of developing for limited hardware.

The same amount of electricity that could power MS-DOS for a year is now used to ask Copilot how to save a Word document to your local Desktop instead of OneDrive.

Happy Halloween

Learning to code has difficulty!
It isn't a smooth and polished road!

I wish I heard that earlier in my learning journey because everyone made it seem like it was soooo easy so when I faced a problem, I felt completely out of place!

It's ok if the code confuses you, keep at it.
