Project Overview

Cherry Blossom Salon is a beloved Atlanta hair salon known for balayage, extensions, and a team of artists who blend beauty and art. On the original site, their story and pricing were all there, but buried in long, duplicated sections, all-caps headlines, and multiple competing calls to action that made it hard to understand services or book with confidence. I rebuilt the site in Next.js around a calm, editorial layout: a clear hero that anchors the brand promise, scannable service categories, a structured pricing overview, a dedicated team section that highlights each artist, and a guided booking flow that walks guests from service selection to appointment details. Performance jumped from a 31 Lighthouse performance score to 98 while accessibility, best practices, and SEO all reached a perfect 100, so the digital experience finally matches the in-salon experience in Poncey-Highlands.
