Cocoa Cowrie Beauty - Book Braids, Locs & Luxury Styles Online
We turned an Instagram-first stylist into a conversion-ready Shopify brand with frictionless booking, add-on upsells, and automated reminders. Clean luxury visuals, trust-rich policies, and a mobile-first flow made it easy for clients to choose a style, pick a time, and check out.

Highlights & Outcomes
The Challenge
Moving from DMs to a professional booking flow. The brand needed a luxury look, easy appointment scheduling with deposits, transparent policies, and a way to upsell treatments without creating confusion or slowing checkout.
- Manual scheduling & back-and-forth messaging
- No structured service catalog or pricing tiers
- High no-show risk without deposits/reminders
- Limited cross-sell of add-on treatments
Success Criteria
- Calendar booking with deposits and time-slot rules
- Service PDP with video, gallery, and clear inclusions
- One-tap add-ons (wash & blowout, growth treatment, etc.)
- Automated reminders & reschedule links
- Trust-forward FAQ and policy UX
Our Approach
1) Luxury Visual System
Bold hero photography, black-and-gold accents, and generous white space deliver a premium salon feel. Copy tone: warm, precise, reassuring.
2) Booking UX That Converts
Time-zone aware calendar, service durations, deposits, and capacity rules. Clients pick a style → choose time → confirm with notifications.
3) Monetize the Chair Time
Add-on checkboxes on the PDP (wash & blowout for first-time clients, deep conditioning, hot oil, protein treatment). Clear benefits + price visibility raise AOV.
4) Reduce No-Shows
Automated SMS/email reminders, policy highlights before checkout, and quick reschedule links — respectful but firm.
