Overview
Milton Wax & Glow Studio is a waxing studio in Milton, Ontario, and CS2 built its entire web presence. The site carries the full service menu, an online booking flow ("Book your visit"), client accounts under "My visits," and phone, chat, and WhatsApp contact paths, all on one Next.js codebase backed by PostgreSQL.
The challenge
What the business needed
For a local service business, bookings are the business. The usual answer is renting a slice of a salon SaaS like Fresha or Booksy, which means per-booking fees, someone else’s brand inside the flow, and no ownership of the client record. The studio wanted the whole loop in-house: a brand-forward site, the service menu, appointment booking, client accounts, and the admin desk, with nothing skimmed off each booking and full control of its data.
The build
What CS2 shipped
CS2 built the studio’s platform on Next.js with Prisma over PostgreSQL. There’s a warm, brand-forward marketing site with the complete waxing menu, a native flow where clients book a visit online in minutes, accounts where returning visitors see their past visits, and an admin back-office for running the studio day to day. Phone, chat, and WhatsApp sit one tap from the header, because a salon’s clientele often prefers a conversation to a form.
Highlights

Outcome
How it operates today
The studio runs on software it fully owns. Every booking, client record, and service update flows through code CS2 wrote, and no scheduling platform takes a cut. The site doubles as a living demo: a salon, clinic, or studio owner evaluating CS2 can walk the exact booking experience their own customers would get, on a platform running a real business day to day rather than a staged sandbox.
What this proves
A real local business runs day to day on a booking platform CS2 built end to end, proven in production rather than in a demo.
