Small business website design
The pages, words and details a small business website needs to bring in enquiries.
Hair, beauty and barber websites
A salon website that sends people straight to your booking system, shows every price and introduces your team. Email me new prices and they're changed for you, with no contract.

The short answer
Good salon website design puts a book button on every page linked to your booking system, a full price list that's easy to keep current, your team and what each person specialises in, photos of your work, your address with parking tips, and your patch test and cancellation policies. Ours include all of that, from £49 a month with no contract.
At a glance
80+ websites built by Charlie through Transform Sites.
Tap a number to see where it sits on the page. Example template: Studio Nine Hair is a made-up business.
Four things I put on every salon website. The first three are marked on the example.
A book button on every page that opens Fresha, Booksy, Treatwell, Timely, Phorest or whatever you already use. Clients book the way they're used to, and nothing changes behind the desk.
Every service with a price or a “from” price, as real text rather than a photo of your price board. When prices change, email me and I'll update it.
A photo, a name and what each stylist or therapist is best at. People book a person as much as a salon.
Your best photos on the site itself, with a link to your Instagram, so the work is there for people who don't use the app.
Most salons are found through Instagram, TikTok, a friend's recommendation or Google Maps. Instagram is brilliant for showing your work, but poor at answering practical questions: how much is a full head of highlights, is there parking, who's good with curly hair, can I get in on Saturday. People who can't find those answers quickly tend to book somewhere they can.
A salon website is where those answers live, one tap from your bio link. It also belongs to you. Booking apps and social platforms change their rules, fees and algorithms from time to time, and your website carries on regardless.
It helps with Google too. When someone searches “hair salon near me” or “balayage” with your town, Google looks at your Google Business Profile and your website to decide what you offer. A site that lists your services and prices in plain text gives it something to work with.
Send me your price list, a few photos and your booking link. I'll do the rest.
In the header, after the price list and on each team profile, all going to your booking system.
Grouped the way clients think: cuts, colour, treatments, nails. Say what's included, and use a “from” price where length or thickness changes it.
Photos, names and what each person loves doing. If junior stylists charge less, say so; it brings in a different set of clients.
When you need a skin allergy test before colour (usually 48 hours ahead, as the dye makers advise), deposits, and what happens if someone doesn't turn up.
Address, a map, where to park and whether you're up a flight of stairs. It matters more than people think.
NVQ levels, product brand training, or registration with the Hair and Barber Council, which is voluntary. Only what you actually hold.
This is the live salon template: prices first, then the team, then a book button that goes to your own booking system. Type your salon's name at the top of the page and watch it change.
What to notice
Almost every salon needs a booking system. The question is whether its profile page is enough on its own.
| Booking app profile only | Your own website and booking link | |
|---|---|---|
| Who controls the page | The app | You |
| How prices and team look | The app's standard layout | Your layout, with specialisms and photos |
| Other salons on the same screen | Often, in marketplace listings | Only your salon |
| Fees on new clients | Some apps charge for marketplace bookings | Direct links are often treated differently |
| If the app changes its rules | You adapt | Your site stays put, and I swap the link |
Fees vary between booking apps and change over time. Check your app's current terms.

Yes. Your book buttons link straight to the booking system you already use, whether that's Fresha, Booksy, Treatwell, Timely, Phorest or something else. Clients book the way they're used to, and your diary, deposits and reminders stay where they are.
Instagram shows your work and the app takes bookings, but neither is good at answering the questions people ask first: prices, who does what, parking and policies. A website puts those answers in one place you control, and gives Google more to go on when people search for a salon nearby.
Yes. Email me the new prices and I'll update them. Growth and Pro include unlimited small edits, so price changes and seasonal offers are covered, and Pro edits are done within 48 hours. Starter includes 1 change a month, which suits salons that review prices once or twice a year.
Yes. The salon template works for hair salons, barbers, nail bars, brow and lash studios and beauty rooms. The services, price groups and photos change to suit you, and there are three styles to pick from, from bold and modern to soft and friendly.
Deposits are best handled by your booking system, and the book buttons send people there. MonthlySite isn't an online shop, so for retail products I'd link to wherever you already sell them. If you want a full shop with stock and checkout, a dedicated e-commerce platform is the right tool.
Ours are £49, £79 or £99 a month with no contract and no upfront fee, including hosting, security updates and changes. Growth, at £79 a month, suits most salons because it includes unlimited small edits and your Google Business Profile setup. You can also buy a site outright from £549.
Pick your trade, add your business name and see it on a laptop and a phone. If you like it, plans start at £49 a month with no contract.
