By Suzanne Schuber

Technologies Used

• ASP.NET Core MVC
• Entity Framework Core
• C#
• MySQL Database
• HTML
• CSS
• Git
• Razor Views

In this application you are able to add a list of stylists working at the salon, and for each stylist, add clients who see that stylist. The stylists have specific specialties, so each client can only see (belong to) a single stylist. As the salon owner you can:

• See a list of all stylists.
• Select a stylist, see their details, and see a list of all clients that belong to that stylist.
• Add new stylists to the system when they are hired.
• Add new clients to a specific stylist.
