How I Helped My Hairdresser Go Digital in 2023 | Simplify Digital AI

Hello there! I'm thrilled to share my journey and the story behind Simplify Digital AI, a venture born from a blend of passion for technology and a desire to empower small businesses.

Throughout my high-tech career, I've been driven by a love for solving complex problems and enhancing productivity through technology. From simplifying intricate data to creating insightful visualizations, my goal has always been to make technology accessible and useful for everyone. This passion didn't just stay within the confines of corporate offices; it extended into a personal mission to help small businesses thrive in the digital world.

The idea for Simplify Digital AI sparked during a casual conversation at my hairdresser's. While getting a haircut, I noticed she was still managing her appointments with a paper calendar. Curious, I asked about her plans to digitize her business. She shared her aspirations but also her apprehensions about the overwhelming options available. Seeing a perfect opportunity to help, I offered to assist her in navigating the digital landscape.

I researched various salon booking platforms, comparing features, pricing, and user reviews to find the ideal fit for her needs. We settled on Fresha, a user-friendly platform with a free tier that perfectly suited her business. Together, we set up her service menu and migrated her client list to the new system. The transformation was incredible. She was able to streamline her bookings and communicate with her clients more efficiently, significantly reducing the time spent on phone calls and texts. The joy and relief on her face were immensely gratifying—it was clear that this small change was making a big impact.

This experience was a turning point for me. It highlighted how many small business owners struggle with similar challenges and how impactful the right digital tools can be. It inspired me to establish Simplify Digital AI, aimed at helping small businesses like hers embrace technology to enhance their operations and customer interactions.
