How to Create a Hair Salon Website

Creating a website for your salon can generate more business for you and make you more profitable. It can also save you time and money. The website will list your hours of operation and availability which would delete the need for a receptionist and cut down on phone calls for such questions.

• Decide which web service you want to use. Thanks to the surge in today's modern technology there are many to choose from. If you are a novice in web design you want to look for a user-friendly format. Yola.com offers a simplistic format and is also free. There is an easy drop and drag tool that allows for easy changes to your site. Wix.com is for the more computer savvy individual as it features a flash format. This allows you to add photos of your client and other graphics. You can also feature profiles of the stylists in your salon with their photos. Wordpress is another option for you to use. Their format allows you to use multiple pages for your site and import a blog.


• Develop the text for your website. This information will include the hours of operation, location and services that are provided. Include 2 to 3 paragraphs of text. To spice up this section on your site add a catchy slogan for your business or include quotes from happy clientele.


• Import photographs for your website. Include photographs of each stylist along with their own personal portfolio listing their specialties. Ask your clients for their permission to use before and after photos of the services that they receive such as hair cuts, color and extensions. The more variety of styling options that you show on your site, the more business your salon will generate.
