Stop losing clients to confusing menus. Learn how to set up a site that showcases your work and makes booking effortless on mobile.
Who this is for
You run a salon, barbershop, or solo styling business. You're tired of texting prices back and forth. You want a site that builds stylist trust and handles appointments while you work.
What you'll need

- ✓ High-quality photos of your best cuts and colors
- ✓ A clear list of services with prices

Step-by-step playbook
Focus on the client journey. Most visitors arrive on phones, so your booking flow must be smooth on small screens.

Common mistakes to avoid
Don't frustrate users. Small friction points cause clients to bounce to competitors.
- ✓ Hiding prices until the client calls
- ✓ Making the booking button hard to find
- ✓ Designing only for desktop instead of mobile
- ✓ Using slow images that delay page loading
Quick checklist
Run through this list before you launch. It ensures your site works for your solo stylists and shop staff.
