A website for a hairdresser — fill the empty chair
For a hairdresser, bookings are the whole business. Your website should show off your work, make it obvious that new clients are welcome, and make booking simple. Sorted Online writes and publishes that site for you in minutes — your own domain and forwarding email included, £15 a month by UK Direct Debit.
What a hairdresser's website actually needs
- Photos of your work. Real cuts and colours, not stock images. This is the single biggest driver of new bookings.
- Your services and prices, or a clear "from £X" if prices vary. Customers dislike guessing.
- How to book. Point to your online booking link if you have one, or offer a phone number and a simple enquiry form if you do not.
- Where you are. A salon address with opening hours, or your mobile radius if you travel to clients.
- New-client welcome. Say plainly that new clients are welcome. Many people assume a popular salon is full.
- Reviews and a bit of personality. Clients choose a hairdresser on how they feel, not just the price list.
What customers type before they book you
"Mobile hairdresser near me", "balayage [town]", "haircut [town]", "salon [city]". A mobile stylist should say the area they cover; a salon should give the street and the postcode area. Name the services with the words clients use — colours, highlights, balayage, blow-dry, bridal.
Where a website beats a social page
Instagram shows your work and should stay. But a grid is hard to search, prices are never where a new client expects them, and you do not control it. A website gives a new client one place to see your work, your prices, your location, and how to book — and it belongs to you, not to an app.
What it costs
£15 a month for your website, your own domain, and forwarding email on that domain, paid by UK Direct Debit through GoCardless. Nothing to pay at sign-up. For a comparison with building it yourself, see how much a small business website costs.
