##1. Description 📃
The Hair Projekt(THP) is a web application by which registered users can post and share their most recent haircut/styling experience. Finding the right barber/hairdresser can be a hassle sometimes, THP helps users narrow down their choices and assists them in making a decision as the user has a better overall view of the respective salon. They can view posts containing the price, location, barber/hairdresser name, and overall experience from other users.
##2. Wireframes 📝
Please view our Trello board below 😉
##3. Technologies 📱
Technologies used to build this app include: Ruby on Rails(v2.3.1), HTML, CSS and AJAX. In addition, PostgreSQL was used in the formation of the database. Trello was used for our group project management and workflow assistance. Heroku is being used as a cloud platform to host our application (below). GoogleMaps API was included to assist out location base functionality (location auto complete and mode of travel/distance)
##4. Deployment ♊
We used Heroku as our deployment platform. We then followed the guideline created by the legendary HMAN1911 😏
