Solutions:
Research and Brand Exploration
We started the project by conducting in-depth research on the Santa Barbara coastal lifestyle and Spanish design elements.

The palm tree, a significant element requested by the client, became a focal point in the branding.

The homepage featured an immersive image slider showcasing happy clients and the salon's inviting atmosphere. A prominent call-to-action directed visitors to the online booking system for hassle-free appointment scheduling.Step 3: Logo and Branding
