NYC Hairstylist Review App

I need a polished mobile app (iOS and Android) that lets clients leave and browse reviews for independent hairstylists across NYC and NJ. The core experience revolves around collecting and displaying feedback, so every stylist profile must show star ratings, written comments, and photo uploads in a clean, intuitive layout.

Discovery is equally important. Users should be able to:
• search a stylist by name and social media handles,
• browse nearby options through location services,
• and apply filters for specific services.

I have an early Flutter codebase, yet I’m flexible—React Native, Swift/Kotlin, or a fresh Flutter rebuild are all acceptable if they help us reach a smooth UI/UX. Integrated location handling, thoughtful interface design, and a future-ready architecture that can accept booking or payment modules later are all part of the brief.

Deliverables
• Universal iOS & Android app ready for App Store and Google Play submission
• Lightweight backend (Firebase, Supabase, or similar) to store stylist data, reviews, and images
• Admin tools or scripts so I can onboard new stylists and moderate content
• Figma (or comparable) design files for all key screens
• Deployment guide and two weeks of post-launch support for minor fixes

Submit a short outline of your approach, preferred tech stack, and a recent example of a location-based or review-heavy app you’ve shipped. Looking forward to collaborating and getting this live for NYC’s stylist community.
