About us
Our small startup is located in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. MysalonPage is a website platform tailored for salons, spas, and barbershops. A bit of history…we got the idea years ago, during a software conference for a Point of Sale (POS) system we used. We noticed that while there were many website vendors present at the conference, none of them offered a platform designed for the beauty industry. Since then, we’ve been dedicated to conceptualizing and developing a platform that addresses the unique needs of salon, spa, and barbershop businesses.
2011
My partner and I had the opportunity to attend a software conference for a POS system, that was widely used at the time, in the beauty industry. We looked at the large number of attendees and thought to ourselves “Man! if we could build something to capture a small percentage of this market it’d definitely be good business”. Reflecting back on the fact that we did build a website for my partner’s salon…what if we took it a step further and made websites specifically for salons, spas, and barbershops? That was when we got the idea to build the mysalonPage website platform and we’ve been building it ever since.
2011 – 2019
There were technological challenges to building an entire website platform for salons, spas and barbershops that was like a Wix or Squarespace website platform. Namely, we didn’t have the software and architecture development experience at the time. I recently graduated from post secondary and was still gaining experience. Between 2011 and 2019 I built random websites for car detailers, salons, spas, orthodontic practices and a few others while leveling up my skills in website technology. Despite making progress, unfortunately, during this period there were health complications which set us back from our goal!
2019
Between 2019 and 2022 developing odd websites had become exhausting. First off, customer acquisition was a huge challenge. Partners wanted to do business with experts; also, cold call rejections were becoming disheartening. We finally realized that being an expert at making websites for car detailing, salons, spas, orthodontic offices, night club, etc. wasn’t possible for just one individual. As a result we completely changed gears and offered services to the Real Estate industry. This is where we picked up another essential skill to add to our toolset – Photography. We offered HD photographs for residential properties, virtual tours, RMS measurements and stayed true to our passion by offering MLS enabled websites. This was when we formed our parent company – Tinman Media Inc.
2023
We finally had developed enough tools in our toolset to create an MVP website platform specifically for salons, spas, and barbershops!

Photography
We spent a few years learning photography. With this skill we’re able to add photography as a service and really be a one-stop for our partners.

Leveling Up & Life
Over the last decade we worked on other website projects that developed our skills, taught us valuable lessons, and gave us the experience necessary to build a website platform.

It All Started at a Software Conference
While we were at a software conference in Florida, exclusively for hair, we identified the gap for salon, spa, and barbershop websites. The seed was planted!
