The short answer

What should a hair salon website include?

A hair salon website needs online booking where clients pick the stylist and the service, with the deposit and no-show policy shown before they confirm. Add a price menu set by service and time, never by gender, each stylist’s portfolio posted only with client consent, gift cards online, and reminder texts sent with permission. Credentials must be stated accurately: in Ontario hairstyling is a compulsory trade.

Built in

What every hair salon website includes

  • Booking by stylist and service

    Clients choose who does their hair and what they want done, and the calendar shows only times long enough for it, connected to the salon booking tool you already use where it offers an integration. Rebooking at checkout is one tap.

  • Deposits and no-show terms stated first

    Which services take a deposit, how much notice a cancellation needs and what a missed appointment costs are shown before the client confirms, not buried in an email afterwards. Deposits are taken through hosted payment fields, so card numbers never touch your site.

  • A portfolio clients agreed to

    Each stylist’s page shows their cuts and colour, posted only after the client ticks a separate, optional photo consent. Turning it down never affects their appointment, and a photo comes down when they ask.

  • Reminder texts with permission

    Appointment reminders and confirmations by text for clients who opted in on the booking form, with the salon’s name in every message and STOP honoured. Promotions go only to people who agreed to marketing as well.

  • Gift cards sold online

    Digital and printed gift cards bought from the site, with the expiry and any conditions stated plainly on the card and at checkout, as US federal and provincial gift card rules expect.

  • Asking every client for a review

    One review request after every visit, sent to all clients the same way, never filtered to the happy ones, with no reward tied to a good rating. Replies thank people without discussing their hair, skin or scalp.

  • A menu priced by the work, not the client

    Cuts and colour are priced by hair length, time and technique, never as a men’s or women’s price, and the full menu is on the site in plain text, as California and New York pricing laws expect and search engines can read.

Must-have pages

The pages every hair salon website needs

Each page answers a question people ask before they book, and each one can rank for that question on its own.

  • Book with a stylist

    Stylist first, then service and an open time long enough for it, with the deposit and late-cancel terms on the same screen. Linked from the header of every page.

  • Services and price menu

    Every cut, colour and treatment with the time to allow and a from-price in plain text, priced by length and technique rather than gender.

  • Deposits, cancellations and no-shows

    Which bookings take a deposit, how much notice a change needs and what a missed appointment costs, written before anyone pays rather than after.

  • Stylists and credentials

    A page per stylist with their work, days and the certificate, licence or apprenticeship they actually hold, so clients can follow the person they trust.

  • Portfolio

    Cuts and colour sorted by service and texture, each photo posted with the client’s separate consent and taken down on request.

  • New clients and consultations

    What a first colour visit involves, when a patch or strand test is booked, and what photos of looks you like help with.

  • Gift cards

    Buy and send online, with expiry and any fees printed on the card and at checkout.

  • Accessibility and getting here

    Step-free entry, a washbasin chair that suits mobility needs, quiet appointment times, parking and transit, and an accessibility statement with a contact for help.

Search, AI answers and maps

How clients search for hair salons, and how your site answers

Salon clients usually choose on a phone from the map results, comparing photos, the price menu and how soon a stylist is free. Colour, curly-hair and wedding clients research for longer and book the salon whose portfolio looks like the hair they already have.

How clients search

  • “Hair salon near me” and “salon open Sunday”

    The map pack decides it. Hours, the booking link and the services on your Business Profile must match the site, and the booking page has to load fast on mobile data.

  • “Balayage near me” and “colour correction” plus your city

    One page per colour service, with consented photos, the time it takes and a from-price, ranks for the service rather than only the salon name.

  • “Curly hair salon” and “silk press near me”

    Texture-specific searchers want proof you work with their hair: a page per texture with its own consultation length and stylists named.

  • “How much is a haircut” and “women’s haircut prices”

    A menu in readable text, priced by length and time instead of gender, answers the question and keeps you inside pricing laws.

  • “Salon gift card” in December and before Mother’s Day

    A gift card page that sells online, with its terms on it, catches seasonal searches the till never sees.

What we build for search, AI answers and maps

  1. 01

    Business Profile set to “Hair salon”

    Primary category “Hair salon”, secondary categories only for services you really offer, the menu entered as services, and the online booking link on the profile.

  2. 02

    HairSalon markup on the right pages

    HairSalon structured data with address, hours and price range on the location page, FAQ and breadcrumb markup elsewhere, and no rating markup about the salon itself.

  3. 03

    Service pages that answer first

    Each colour and texture page opens with how long it takes, how often it needs upkeep and who it suits, in two sentences an AI answer or snippet can lift whole.

  4. 04

    One identity everywhere

    The same salon name, address, hours and stylist names on the site, the profile, the booking app’s listing and social bios, so search engines and assistants agree on who you are.

  5. 05

    Reviews from every chair

    One request after every visit to all clients, no discount for a good rating, and replies that never comment on a client’s hair, skin or scalp.

  6. 06

    Monthly report

    Map views, bookings and gift card sales from search, and which service pages rise or slip, sent every month.

No one can promise a ranking or a place in an AI answer. We build the pages, data and profile that search engines and assistants read, and report what changes.

Compliance

The rules for hair salons, handled in the design

Salon websites answer to trade and public health rules for hairstyling, to texting, payment and review rules, and to privacy law for client photos. Here is what each asks of a salon site, and how every design handles it.

Sources gathered October 1, 2026. This is how our designs handle these rules, not legal advice: rules change and differ by province and state, so your trade or cosmetology board, your local public health unit or your lawyer has the final word, and you approve every page before it goes live.

  • Ontario

    Hairstylist is a compulsory trade

    Skilled Trades Ontario lists hairstylist as a compulsory trade: people doing the work need a Certificate of Qualification, a provisional one, or a registered apprenticeship. The designs only call staff licensed or certified when they hold one, and label apprentice services as supervised.

    Skilled Trades Ontario — Hairstylist

  • Ontario

    Personal service settings: hygiene and incident records

    O. Reg. 136/18 sets infection-prevention rules for personal service settings, salons included, and asks operators to notify the local board of health before opening. A salon offering only hairdressing is exempt from logging every client’s contact details, but an injury or blood exposure must be recorded with the names of those involved. Booking asks only what the appointment needs.

    Ontario e-Laws — O. Reg. 136/18, Personal service settings

  • All

    Card data for deposits (PCI DSS)

    Since 31 March 2025 PCI DSS v4.0.1 asks merchants that embed card forms to inventory and authorise the scripts on payment pages and watch them for tampering; a merchant using a fully hosted payment page or iframe (SAQ A) must instead confirm its site is protected against script attacks. Deposits and gift cards use hosted fields or a redirect, with no ad or chat scripts on that page.

    PCI Security Standards Council — Future-dated requirements of PCI DSS v4.x

  • US

    Reminder texts need the client’s consent

    The FCC’s healthcare exemption for appointment reminders covers HIPAA covered entities, and a salon is not one. So reminder texts go only to clients who agreed on the booking form, and any reasonable opt-out is honoured. In Canada, CASL treats a reminder as transactional, still with sender ID and an unsubscribe.

    FCC — 2015 TCPA Omnibus Declaratory Ruling and Order (FCC 15-72)

  • US

    Reviews: no fakes, no gating

    The FTC’s consumer review rule bars fake reviews, rewards conditioned on a positive review and hiding bad ones while implying all are shown, and Google bars asking only happy customers. Review requests go to every client, and any on-site review display shows them unfiltered.

    eCFR — 16 CFR Part 465, consumer reviews and testimonials

  • Canada

    Client photos and privacy consent

    In a 2025 finding about a swimming school, Canada’s Privacy Commissioner held that a business may not make consent to promotional photos a condition of service, under PIPEDA’s rule against demanding more consent than the service needs. So the portfolio consent is its own checkbox, off by default, a no never affects the booking, and withdrawing it removes the photo.

    Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada — PIPEDA Findings #2025-005

  • US

    Gift card expiry and fees

    Federal rules say a gift card may not expire within five years of issue or last load, and dormancy fees are limited and must be disclosed on the card; many states go further. Gift cards sold on the site print their expiry and any fee terms on the card itself.

    CFPB — Regulation E, 12 CFR 1005.20 (gift cards)

  • US · California and New York

    One price for the same service, whatever the gender

    California’s Gender Tax Repeal Act (Civil Code §51.6) bars charging more for a similar service because of the client’s gender and has salons give a written list of standard prices on request; New York’s General Business Law §391-u has done the same since 2020. Prices may differ by time, difficulty or cost, so every menu in the designs is priced that way.

Questions

Hair salons: common questions

How much does a hair salon website cost?
A hair salon website of up to 25 pages is $1,500 paid upfront, or $150 a month for 12 months, and it is yours after the 12th payment. A larger site of up to about 100 pages is $4,000, or $400 a month. Hosting and care is $29 or $49 a month. Prices are in US dollars.
Can clients choose their stylist and pay a deposit online?
Yes. Clients pick a stylist and a service, and see only times long enough for it, through the salon booking tool you already use where it offers an integration. Services that need a deposit say so, with the cancellation notice and no-show terms, before the client confirms. The deposit is paid through hosted payment fields, so card numbers never touch your site.
Can we text appointment reminders to clients?
Yes, with their agreement. A salon is not a HIPAA covered entity, so the US healthcare exemption for reminder texts does not apply, and the booking form asks for consent to texts. Every message names the salon and honours STOP. In Canada, CASL treats a reminder as transactional, but it must still identify you and offer an unsubscribe.
Can stylists post client photos in the portfolio?
Yes, when the client has agreed. The booking or checkout form carries a separate photo consent, off by default, and saying no never affects the appointment, which is what Canada’s Privacy Commissioner expects. Photos are shown in the same light without filters, the service is named and a results-vary line sits under colour pairs, and a photo comes down when the client asks.
Can we call our stylists licensed?
Only those who hold the qualification. In Ontario hairstyling is a compulsory trade, so stylists need a Certificate of Qualification, a provisional certificate or a registered apprenticeship, and the site shows which. In the US, state boards license cosmetologists and expect licences displayed in the salon. Apprentice services are labelled as supervised.
What pages does a hair salon website need?
Online booking by stylist, a services and price menu in plain text, a deposits and cancellation policy, a page for each stylist with their credentials, a consented portfolio, new-client and consultation details, gift cards, and an accessibility and directions page. Those cover what clients check before they book, and each can rank for its own search.
How do hair salons get more clients from their website?
Keep your Google Business Profile, hours and booking link identical to the site, because most new clients choose from the map results on a phone. Then give each colour and texture service its own page with consented photos, a time and a from-price, and make booking with a named stylist take under a minute.Ask every client for a review after each visit, the same way, and rebook regulars before they leave.
Can a salon charge different prices for men’s and women’s haircuts?
Not for a similar service in California or New York, and it is a risk elsewhere. California’s Gender Tax Repeal Act and New York’s General Business Law §391-u bar price differences based on gender, while allowing differences for time, difficulty or cost. So price by hair length, time and technique, and show the menu in writing.
What should a salon’s contact form ask for?
A name, a phone or email and what the visit is for. The contact form says not to include health details such as allergies, pregnancy, scalp conditions or medication; those come up privately at the consultation or patch test, and anything recorded there is kept with the client’s file, not in an email inbox.
Will my hair salon website rank on Google?
It launches with the technical SEO done: fast pages, clean structure, structured data, local pages and redirects from your old site. To keep climbing, a BOOSTD SEO plan from $149 a month runs 262 checks on your site every week, fixes what is safe to fix and gets the rest ready for your OK.No one can promise a position on Google, and we never do. Google warns businesses about anyone who does.
Can I get one of these salon website designs?
Yes. Each is a complete, ready-to-launch website design BOOSTD made for hair salons. Pick one and we make it yours, with your name, colours, photos, content and the licence or compliance details your industry expects, from $150 a month and yours after 12 payments.Approved client sites are shown with a “Client work” tag, and only with the client’s written permission.
