Key takeaways
  • Show a service menu with prices, real work photos and stylist profiles.
  • Online or WhatsApp booking, first-visit offers and packages drive appointments.
  • A strong Google Business Profile and regular reviews win local searches.

People choose a salon or spa based on looks, trust and convenience. They want to see your work, check prices and book without phone tag. A good website makes all three easy.

Must-haves

  1. Service menu with prices (or "starting from"), grouped by hair, skin, nails, spa and bridal
  2. Online booking through a booking plugin or your salon software, or at least WhatsApp booking
  3. Gallery of your work: real photos of cuts, colours, makeup and nails, with client consent
  4. Team profiles: stylists and therapists with specialties
  5. Location, hours and parking, with a map
  6. Reviews and a link to your Google reviews

Drive bookings

  • First-visit offers and seasonal packages (festive, wedding season)
  • Bridal and group packages with an enquiry form
  • Gift vouchers sold online
  • A WhatsApp button for quick questions; see WhatsApp on your website
  • Landing pages for campaigns; see landing page design

Other booking-driven local services: home services and cleaning services.

Setting up bookings? See online appointment booking.

Design tips

Your website should feel like your salon: clean, stylish and welcoming. Use large, high-quality photos, compressed so pages stay fast, and make the booking button impossible to miss on mobile.

Local SEO

  • Target "salon near me", "bridal makeup in {area}" and "spa in {city}"
  • Complete your Google Business Profile with photos, services and prices
  • Encourage reviews after appointments; see how to get more Google reviews
  • Post new work regularly on Instagram and link back to your site

Work as a freelance or bridal makeup artist who travels to clients? See websites for makeup artists for portfolios, packages and date bookings.

Common mistakes

  • No prices at all, which leads to endless enquiry calls
  • Instagram-only presence with no bookable website
  • Slow galleries with huge images
