Polar Design developed a pair of interconnected iOS mobile applications—HOMME for consumers and HOMME Salon for business users—as part of a sophisticated e-commerce and partner engagement platform tailored for the high-end men’s grooming market.

Consumer App – HOMME

The HOMME D2C app provides consumers with a curated shopping experience centered around premium grooming products offered on consignment by top-tier men’s salons. Shoppers can browse new arrivals, explore seasonal promotions, and place orders for pickup at participating salon locations. An integrated rewards system grants loyalty points with each purchase, redeemable for services and perks at salons, creating a seamless blend of e-commerce and in-person engagement.

Business App – HOMME Salon

Complementing the consumer app is the HOMME Salon B2B app, which empowers participating salons with tools to manage their consignment-based inventory, track commissions in real time, and verify customer identities for product pickups. This app acts as a vital link between online transactions and in-salon fulfillment, enhancing transparency and trust between salons and the HOMME platform.

Unified Django-Based Administration

At the core of the solution is a robust, custom-built back-end system developed using Python and Django. The administrative interface enables HOMME’s internal team to:

• Onboard and configure new salon partners

• Manage inventory, commissions, and user-generated orders

• Publish dynamic content including featured slides, promotions, events, and product launches

• Review loyalty point redemptions and customer activity

• Monitor overall platform performance and engagement

Results & Impact

The dual-app architecture, combined with a streamlined web-based admin portal, supports a scalable, brand-consistent experience across both consumer and business touchpoints. By tightly integrating fulfillment, inventory, and loyalty systems, HOMME delivers a modern retail solution that bridges e-commerce convenience with local salon services—enhancing brand loyalty and partner satisfaction.  Salons benefit financially by being able to sell product without the typical investment in inventory and associated costs, while at the same time their customers generate additional incremental recurring revenue from app purchases outside the salons’ four walls.  Customers benefit by joining an exclusive, fashion forward community of like minded men that valuea modern, masculine approach to personal care.
