Website guide · Beauty salons and nail technicians

A one-page website for a beauty salon or nail tech

Someone opening a salon's link usually has a treatment in mind already. They've seen a friend's gel extensions or a brow lamination on Instagram, and they want to know if you do it, how long it takes, what it costs and how to get an appointment. That last question is where salon sites tend to fall down, with a DM, a phone number, a booking app and a contact form all competing for the tap. One page suits this kind of business well, because your main treatments and prices, your patch-test rules and a single route to book all fit in one scroll.

Page checklist

What a beauty salon website has to say

01

Your main treatments, with times and prices

List them the way they appear in your appointment book: gel manicure, 45 minutes, $35. The time matters as much as the price, since clients fit appointments around lunch breaks and the school run. Where a price varies, give the starting figure and say what pushes it up, such as nail art, extra length or removing another salon's work. Infills and removals deserve their own lines, because regulars book those more often than a full set.

02

One way to book, and where it goes

Decide whether bookings happen through your booking app, a phone call or a message, and make that the route the page points to. You can still accept the others. When requests arrive by DM, text and app with equal weight, though, only one of them updates your diary, and that is how two clients end up in the same slot.

03

Where you work and when you're free

Say whether you're in a salon, a rented room inside someone else's, a home studio or mobile. A home studio should mention parking and any pets in the house, which matters to clients with allergies. Mobile techs need their area, any travel charge and any minimum spend for a call-out. If you're appointment-only, "Tuesday to Saturday, late on Wednesdays" tells a client more than a grid of opening times your diary overrides anyway.

04

Patch tests and what to mention before booking

Lash and brow tints, lash lifts and some other treatments usually need a skin test first, and the product manufacturer's instructions set how far ahead it has to be done. Many insurers make cover depend on following those instructions too. Say which treatments need a test, how far ahead, and whether a returning client needs a fresh one after a long gap or a change of product. This is also the place to ask people to mention allergies, skin conditions or pregnancy when they book.

05

Your cancellation, lateness and deposit terms

A no-show on a two-hour set of extensions costs you a morning. Write down how much notice you need, what happens if someone turns up 15 minutes late, and whether you take a deposit. Terms a client read before booking are easier to hold to than ones that arrive in a message the night before. Rules on keeping deposits differ between countries, so check what consumer law allows where you work.

Who does the work, and with what

Clients often follow a particular therapist from salon to salon, so name the people, what each specialises in and the training they hold. Name your product brands too. Someone who has reacted to gel polish before may be looking for HEMA-free products, and if you use them, the page is where they find out.

Your input

How to describe your business so the copy is usable

Every headline and section is generated from the description you type, so the description is the real input. These are the things worth putting in it.

Use the treatment names clients type

A client in Manchester asking for BIAB and one in Chicago asking for a builder gel overlay may want much the same thing. Names shift between countries and brands, so if clients ask for one treatment under two names, put both in your description. The copy is written from what you give it, and a name you leave out is unlikely to turn up on the page.

Put your prices in, then check every figure

The built page is short: four feature lines, three illustrated sections and five questions and answers. It will carry headline treatments and starting prices rather than a thirty-line menu, so give it those with their times and say where the full list lives. Once it's built, compare each figure with what you charge. Generated copy can reword or round a price, and a client who screenshots a lower one will expect to pay it. When prices change, update the description and rebuild that day.

Give it real reviews and real numbers

Every page has a strip of three client reviews and a row of four figures, both written from your description. Leave them out and the generator fills those spots with believable quotes and numbers that aren't yours. Paste in two or three genuine comments from clients who've agreed to be quoted, and figures you can stand behind, like years qualified, then check what came out. In the UK and the US, publishing made-up customer reviews breaks consumer law.

Spell out the booking route in words

There's no booking calendar or checkout on the page, and its buttons jump to other parts of the page rather than opening an app. So the route has to be in the text: the booking app you use and the name to search for on it, or the number or Instagram handle to message, along with your patch-test and cancellation rules. Check each one came through correctly before the link goes in your bio.

FAQ

Beauty salons and nail technicians website builder: frequently asked questions

Can I use the price menu I designed for Instagram?

Not as an image. Every picture on the page is generated, so there's nowhere to add your own graphic, and the images are deliberately kept free of lettering because generated text comes out garbled. Type the prices into your description instead. Text stays readable on any screen, which a shrunken menu graphic rarely does.

Can I use it as the link in my Instagram bio?

Yes, and it's one of the better uses for it. The page lives at your-business.invooza.com and carries Open Graph tags, so it shows a proper preview when you send it on WhatsApp or iMessage. Instagram allows more than one link in a bio, so your booking app's link can sit just below it.

Should aftercare go on the website?

A short version, yes. A few lines for your main treatments, such as how long to keep new lashes dry or how to look after a fresh gel set, tend to cut down next-morning messages. Keep it consistent with the product instructions and with the aftercare card you hand over, so nobody gets two different sets of advice.

Can I take a deposit for a bridal or group booking?

The website can't take payments. For bigger bookings, invoice the full amount and record the deposit against it. If you invoice with Invooza, turning on advance tracking in your rules lets you add each deposit with its date, and the PDF lists it under the total with the balance still to pay on the day.
