The short answer

Show the right service. Secure the right slot.

I design websites for independent salons, barbers and beauty professionals. A typical complete project is £1,500 - £2,200 and usually takes 2 to 4 weeks.

The website can work with an existing booking provider or use a new route for appointments, deposits and reminders. I check calendars, data access and payment support before recommending a move.

Start with the diary

Where does valuable time leak today?

Choose the closest problem. The recommendation, checks and useful starting price change with it.

Use last month, not a guess

What do missed appointments remove from the diary?

Set the average appointment, the no-shows or late cancellations each week and the deposit you would reasonably take.

Illustration, not a recovery promise. It assumes the selected missed appointments continue and the agreed deposit is retained under clear terms. Actual cancellations, refunds and rebooked slots will differ.

Change the front door carefully

Fresha can stay. Your website gains the relationship.

A working booking platform does not need to be removed overnight. The website can own the service story and local search route while the diary remains stable.

  • Existing appointments remain where staff already manage them
  • Calendar, deposit and reminder support is checked before quoting
  • Client data moves only where an authorised export and lawful use allow it

What the website must achieve

A gallery attracts attention. A clear route fills the diary.

The useful build follows the whole choice, from understanding the service to returning for the next appointment.

Make services easy to compare

Price, duration, suitability, preparation and aftercare sit with the service instead of across messages.

Make commitment visible

A supported route to take deposits online £300 - £500 protects part of the appointment value.

Win the local choice

Treatments, location, team expertise and useful pages help clients and search engines understand the salon.

Sell the next visit early

Gift vouchers can be sold from your own site all year. The current module range is £400 - £800.

  • Same client and honest result

Real work needs real evidence

AI cannot prove your salon result.

A generated before-and-after image weakens trust and can misrepresent the service. The finished website should use honest work, real people with permission and the actual salon.

  • A repeatable photo checklist keeps the portfolio consistent
  • Basic photography and video can be included where suitable
  • A specialist can be arranged or recommended for a larger shoot

Beauty and salon work

A real salon project record. No invented performance story.

The featured facts come from the existing Hair Culture portfolio record. Other beauty names are shown without unverified numbers.

The typical range is one combined project price, not every standalone figure added together. Complex migrations, teams or multiple locations may sit above it.

Different specialist, same decision

Built beyond hair salons.

Barbers, nail studios, lash and brow specialists, permanent makeup artists, spas, massage practices, tattoo studios and tanning salons still need clear services, trust and a protected appointment route.

Medical and aesthetics clinics follow the separate clinic route because consultation, treatment evidence and sensitive enquiries need different handling.

Before the salon build

Salon website questions.

Can the website take deposits to reduce salon no-shows?

Yes. A supported booking route can collect a fixed or percentage deposit before the appointment is confirmed. The amount, cancellation terms, refunds and reminder wording are agreed and shown clearly to the client.

Can I move my Fresha clients and bookings to a new system?

Sometimes, but only where the provider supplies an authorised export and the data can be used lawfully. I inspect the available fields, future appointments, consent records and import options before promising a migration.

Can I keep Fresha, Treatwell or Booksy while using the new website?

Yes. A working platform can remain as the appointment diary while the website improves presentation, local search and the route into booking. The connection and tracking depend on what that provider supports.

How do you prevent two clients booking the same salon slot?

Availability must come from one dependable diary or a supported synchronisation route. I test simultaneous booking behaviour, buffers, staff availability and blocked time before launch rather than relying on two separate calendars.

Can appointment confirmations and reminders be automatic?

Yes. Confirmations and timed reminders can be included where the chosen booking or messaging provider supports them. Messages can include the time, location, preparation and cancellation terms.

Can clients choose a service and a particular stylist?

Yes. Services can carry duration, price, preparation and suitable team members, then show times for the selected specialist. The diary structure is planned around how the salon actually allocates staff and rooms.

Can staff update salon prices and availability from a phone?

Yes, when the agreed platform provides a mobile editing route. I keep service content and daily availability responsibilities clear, so staff know whether each change belongs on the website or in the booking diary.

Who owns the client list collected through the salon website?

The business owns its website enquiries and properly collected client list, subject to data-protection duties and the terms of any connected provider. Consent, access and deletion routes are planned rather than hidden inside a platform assumption.

Can the salon website sell gift vouchers?

Yes. Gift vouchers can be purchased and paid for through the website, with the delivery and redemption route agreed for the salon. The current standalone voucher module is usually £400 - £800.

Should salon before-and-after photographs be professionally produced?

They should be honest, consistent and published with permission. I can provide a repeatable shot checklist and suitable basic content support, or arrange a specialist where the volume and finish require one. AI images should not pretend to be real client results.

How much does a salon or barber website cost?

A typical complete project is £1,500 - £2,200. A website foundation starts from £900, appointment booking is usually £700 - £1,200 and deposits or card payments are usually £300 - £500. Team size, migration, content and integrations affect the quote.

How long does a salon website take to build?

Most complete salon projects take 2 to 4 weeks once service information, account access and decisions are available. Complex provider migrations, multiple locations and new photography can extend the schedule.
