Websites for hairdressers and barbers
Web design for hairdressers and barbers: £249.99 to build, then £49.99 a month, no minimum term. Booking online, seeing the work, and knowing the price. In that order.
Hair is booked increasingly outside opening hours, on a phone, in the evening. A salon that only takes bookings by telephone during the day is losing appointments it will never know about.
It is also a visual purchase with a strong personal element. Customers choose a stylist as much as a salon, and want to see that person's actual work before they commit their head to them.
What your customers want answered
- Can I book right now, at eleven at night
- What does a cut, a colour, a full head of highlights cost
- Whose work is this, and can I book with them specifically
- How long will the appointment take
- Do you do a patch test, and when do I need it
Work attributed to the stylistA gallery is far more powerful when each photograph names who did it and links to booking that person. It turns a general browse into a specific appointment.
Prices only on request
Colour is the service people most want a price for and the one most often hidden. A from-price with an honest note that it depends on length and thickness is enough, and its absence loses bookings.
Show the cuts and the team
Clients choose a stylist as much as a salon. Introduce your team with photos and what each specialises in, such as colour, curly hair, fades or bridal. A gallery of your own recent work, grouped by style, shows what you can do.
Prices and online booking
A clear price list, ideally by stylist level if prices differ, and online booking on every page are what most clients look for. Say whether you take walk-ins, your cancellation policy and whether colour needs a patch test.
