Project Overview

TeamX Tec developed Emerald Beauty, a bilingual digital platform designed to transform how customers in the UAE book and manage beauty services. The project included both a responsive website and a cross-platform mobile application for iOS and Android. Emerald Beauty allows customers to browse beauty services, book appointments, and make secure post-service payments, while giving freelance beauticians and salon their own interface to manage schedules, portfolios, and earnings. The goal was to modernize the beauty industry with a smooth, trustworthy, and mobile-first experience that benefits customers, freelancers, and administrators alike.

Key Objectives

The main objective of Emerald Beauty was to create a complete online ecosystem for salon and freelance beauty bookings, accessible through mobile. The platform needed to support bilingual content — English and Arabic — to serve a diverse UAE audience. Key priorities included an intuitive mobile-first interface, secure payment processing after service completion, and powerful tools for freelancers to manage their profiles and appointments. The admin panel also had to provide full oversight of bookings, users, and service listings, ensuring reliability and compliance with platform standards.

Project Management

Emerald Beauty was developed using the Agile methodology, with iterative sprints focused on design, mobile functionality, and backend integration. Each milestone was reviewed with the client to ensure the vision was aligned at every step. Design workflows were handled in Figma, while GitHub was used for version control and collaborative development. Our cross-functional team worked on the website, mobile apps, and admin dashboard in parallel, ensuring design consistency and efficient delivery. Continuous testing and client feedback cycles helped refine both performance and user experience before launch.

Challenges

One of the major challenges was implementing bilingual functionality while maintaining a consistent interface for both left-to-right (English) and right-to-left (Arabic) languages. Developing a real-time booking and availability system required precision to prevent overlapping appointments and ensure accurate slot locking. The advance payment model added complexity to transaction handling, as it required holding charges until service verification. Managing performance across multiple platforms, web, Android, and iOS, while maintaining synchronized data also demanded careful architecture and optimization.

Solutions

TeamX Tec addressed these challenges with targeted, efficient solutions. A bilingual interface was developed with automatic layout adjustments for LTR and RTL languages. Real-time bookings were managed using WebSocket communication, which temporarily locks slots during the booking process. Stripe’s API was customized to process payments only before service completion, verified through backend confirmation. Flutter was chosen to power both mobile apps from a single codebase, ensuring consistency and reducing development overhead. The admin dashboard was equipped with advanced moderation tools for approving freelancer profiles, reviewing content, and managing financial operations. Geo-location filters allowed users to discover nearby professionals, improving convenience
