Spady
A two-sided booking marketplace connecting customers with independent wellness and grooming professionals.
The challenge
Independent wellness and grooming professionals — barbers, hair salons, spas, massage therapists, yoga instructors — typically run their bookings through WhatsApp, phone calls and walk-ins. It's informal, error-prone, and gives customers no easy way to discover, compare or trust new providers.
What we built
We built Spady end-to-end as a two-sided marketplace app: a polished discovery and booking experience for customers (practitioner search, profiles with services and galleries, live availability booking, in-app chat, favourites and review prompts), and a real business toolkit for providers (onboarding, service and staff management, scheduling, a booking calendar and an earnings dashboard). Payments run through an integrated Paystack split-payout system, so providers keep their price while the platform fee is deducted automatically on every transaction with no manual invoicing. Supabase handles authentication, real-time messaging and row-level security, all on a custom brand identity and design system built specifically for the product.
The outcome
Spady is a full cross-platform app — React Native and Expo, a single codebase for iOS and Android — currently in development ahead of launch.
