Recommendations
Create a management system for beauty and wellness businesses have some differences. In Brazil, most wellness and beauty businesses are started by hairdressers and professionals of wellness. These people are experts in making people feel better but don't like the admin part of a business. We needed to create a system to be used as less as possible, helping these professionals to save time managing business and invest this time doing what they love.
