Websites for salons that put you in charge of your bookings
Built around how clients choose a salon: they look at your work, check your prices and want to book in a few taps, on a site you own.
What salons actually need from a website
Not a template: a site built around your work, your prices and bookings you own.
A booking button on every page
Send clients to your own booking link, so new bookings are not tied to a marketplace that takes a cut.
A gallery of your work
Clear photos of cuts, colour, nails and treatments lead the page, and you can add new work yourself.
A clear price list
Services and prices in one place that you can update yourself, so clients know what to expect before they book.
Meet the team
Profiles for each stylist or therapist, so clients can choose who they book with.
‘Salon near me’ visibility
Google Business Profile setup and local search structure, so people nearby find you first.
Easy to reach
Opening hours, location, phone and a map, plus patch test and cancellation information where you need it.
Platform costs at a glance
Fixed build price, an optional monthly care plan, and hosting handled for you, whichever platform you pick.

Common questions from salons
Which platform should I pick for my salon?
If you're just starting out, Wix gets you live fastest at the lowest cost. Established salons that want to rank locally over time usually do best on WordPress. If you want a distinctive brand, Webflow. For multi-site salons or complex booking needs, Custom Development.
How fast can my site go live?
Wix builds typically launch in one to two weeks, Webflow in two to three weeks, and WordPress in two to four weeks. Custom Development typically takes four to eight weeks, and we'll give you a clear timeline with your quote.
Will my site actually rank for ‘hair salon near me’?
Every build includes Google Business Profile setup, local listing structure and on-page SEO fundamentals. Ranking also depends on reviews and ongoing content, our Local SEO service and Care plans help with that over time.
Can I take bookings without paying commission?
Yes. Your site links to a booking system that you own and control, so repeat and new clients book directly with you. The booking setup depends on the platform you choose, and we will explain what each can do before you decide.
Can I edit my prices and gallery myself?
Yes. Prices, services and photos are simple to update yourself, so a new treatment or a fresh set of photos goes live without waiting on anyone.
Can I show patch test and cancellation policies?
Yes. We can add clear pages or notes for patch tests, deposits and cancellations, so clients know the rules before they book.
What if I outgrow my platform later?
Many salons start on Wix or WordPress and move to a custom build as the business grows. We can migrate your content and SEO history when the time comes.
