Starter
A professional first website for a new or small business.
£400
Salon website design is only worth paying for if it does something your Fresha, Treatwell or Booksy page can’t. If you’re a solo stylist fully booked through a platform link, you may not need us yet. Once you want new clients from Google Maps and Instagram without paying a marketplace fee on each one, a salon website can pay for itself. Fixed prices from £400.

Not always. All three give you a booking page, and each can charge a fee when a new client finds you through its marketplace (on Booksy, only with Boost switched on). What differs is the monthly price, the fee, and what happens when someone books from your own website, your Instagram link or Google.
| As of November 2026 | Fresha | Treatwell | Booksy |
|---|---|---|---|
| Monthly price (ex VAT) | £14.95 for one team member, or £9.95 per team member on Team | £9.99 Freelancer, £24.99 Advanced or £59 Expert | £40, plus £5 for each extra team member |
| Fee on a new marketplace client | 20% one-off, minimum £4. Returning clients are free | 35% + VAT on a new client’s first marketplace booking | With Boost on: 30% one-off on the first visit, minimum £5, plus VAT |
| Bookings from your own site or Instagram link | Varies – check with Fresha | Free through your own website and booking widget | Commission-free through your own booking link |
| Bookings from Google | Needs a live Fresha Marketplace listing | Varies – check with Treatwell | Commission-free from Google Search and Maps |

From each platform’s own pages, checked on 11 November 2026. Platforms change their prices and terms, so check the current version before you choose. “Varies” means the platform’s own pages disagree, so we’ve left the figure out. On Fresha, ask whether a client who first saw you on the marketplace pays a fee when they book through your website.
Your booking platform takes the booking. Your website is where a new client finds you on Google or Instagram, looks at your work and your prices, and decides you’re the salon for them. Plenty of salons only need the first.
If you work alone, your diary is mostly regulars and you’re happy to pay a one-off fee for each new marketplace client, a website can wait. Put your booking link in your Instagram bio and on your Google profile, and spend the money on something else.
You want more new clients from Google Maps and Instagram, landing on a page you own. Google lets you add your own booking link to your Business Profile, so it can point to your website, with your treatment menu, your team and your prices. Keep your existing clients booking the way they already do, and check your platform’s terms before you change any links.
These are concept homepages for three fictional salons, not client work. A hair studio, a beauty salon and a one-person nail and lash studio sell differently, so each leads with something different. The notes say why.
Your own photos go here, each linked to its Instagram post.
| Service | Stylist | Senior stylist |
|---|---|---|
| Cut and finish | Your price | Your price |
| Full head colour | Your price | Your price |
| Balayage | Your price | Your price |
A director’s column goes here too, if you have one.
Real Google reviews that name the stylist and the service would go here. None are shown in this concept.
The gallery shows your own photos, each linked to its Instagram post. A live feed would slow the page on a phone and shift the layout as it loads. Static photos load fast and stay put.
A client sees what a cut costs with a stylist and with a senior before they book, so the bill matches what they expected.
If clients ask for a stylist by name, a profile with their specialisms and Instagram helps them book the right person.
The Book button opens your existing booking page. Your platform keeps the diary, the reminders and the payments.
Your version uses your own photos, reviews and details. Nothing here is copied from a real business.
Each price is the total, including any booking fee.
Real reviews that name the treatment would go here, from your Google profile. None are shown in this concept.
Each treatment shows its length and its total price. A price a client can see is one less message asking for it.
Your platform’s booking widget sits in the first screen, so a client picks a time without leaving your site.
If you ask for a patch test or a deposit, say so on the homepage, not in a confirmation email afterwards.
People search for “lash lift” or “eyebrow tint near me” by name. Each card leads to a page that matches.
Your version uses your own photos, reviews and details. Nothing here is copied from a real business.
Infills: say how many weeks you allow between sets.
Real reviews would go here, linked to the Google profile. None are shown in this concept.
A one-chair studio doesn’t need ten pages. Prices, recent work and a Book button cover what clients check, and fit Starter (£400, up to 5 pages).
Every Book button goes to your booking page, so your diary stays in one place.
Working from home? The page names your area, and the full address goes out with the booking confirmation.
When you take on a second chair, the one page becomes a home page with a page each for nails and lashes.
Your version uses your own photos, reviews and details. Nothing here is copied from a real business.
On a hair salon website, the price list is where a client decides whether to book. Show what each service costs with each stylist, what the total will be, and anything you take up front.
The law points the same way. The CMA’s price guidance under the Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024 says the total price should normally include any charge the client can’t avoid, and that hiding extra fees is illegal. So if every booking carries a fee, it goes in the price on your menu. This isn’t legal advice.
Colour and lash clients book a patch test first. A deposit is taken when you book, and returned if you cancel in time.
A cut with a senior stylist costs more than with a newer stylist. Show both columns, so the client picks knowing the price.
If you take a deposit, say how much, when you take it and when it comes back. Put it beside the prices, not at checkout.
If you ask for a patch test before colour or lash treatments, say so on the price list and explain how to book one.
If long or thick hair costs more, say so, along with anything else that moves the price. Then “from” never turns into a surprise.
Beauty salon website design has to follow the advertising rules, because they cover your own site as well as paid ads. The ASA says the CAP Code has applied to advertising on a company’s own website since 2011. These are the rules that come up most on salon sites. This isn’t legal advice.
The ASA says beauty businesses “must hold clinical evidence of any efficacy claims”, usually from tests on people. “Reduces fine lines” needs that proof. “A relaxing 60-minute facial” doesn’t.
The photos should not exaggerate the results. Keep the originals, and don’t retouch the part of the photo that shows what the treatment did.
Botox is a prescription-only medicine and can’t be advertised to the public (rule 12.12), on your homepage or your social media. Aesthetics and injectables belong on a clinic site, which our clinics guide covers.
One habit worth keeping as well: ask clients before their photos go on your website or Instagram, and keep a note that they said yes.
Someone searching “hair salon near me” sees your Google Business Profile before your website, and someone on Instagram sees your bio link. Point both at the same booking page, so a new client takes one route however they found you.
Reserve with Google needs a supported scheduling provider, and Google warns that “your provider might charge you” for those bookings.
Google says “you can also add your own link” to your Business Profile. Point it at your website’s booking page, which opens your platform.
On Fresha, the Book button on Google needs a live marketplace listing. Check what that listing means for your fees before you switch it on.
Send your bio link to your website’s booking page. New clients see your menu and your work first, then book through your platform.
Each platform words its fees differently, so check your platform’s terms before you change where your links point. Our local SEO services look after your Business Profile every month, from £199/mo.

Not always. If you work alone and your diary is mostly regulars, your Fresha page and an Instagram link may be enough. A website earns its keep when you want more new clients from Google Maps and Instagram, with your menu, team and prices on a page you own. It still sends bookings to Fresha.
A salon website from us costs £400 for Starter (up to 5 pages), £750 for Business (up to 10) or £1,200 for Growth (up to 15, with an online booking calendar and local SEO setup). Every price is fixed. Your booking platform’s subscription and fees are separate, and you pay those to the platform.
Yes. We put your booking link behind a Book button on every page, or embed the platform’s booking widget where it offers one. Your diary, reminders and payments stay on the platform you already use. Fees on bookings made through your own website differ by platform, so check your platform’s terms.
It can, but we’d usually advise against a live feed. Feed widgets load extra code, slow the page down on a phone and can push the layout around as they load. A gallery of your best photos, each linked to its Instagram post, shows the same work and stays fast.
Yes. A clear price list answers the question clients would otherwise message you about. UK price guidance says the total should normally include any charge they can’t avoid, such as a booking fee. Show prices by stylist level, say what changes a “from” price, and put your deposit and patch-test policies beside them.
No. Botox is a prescription-only medicine, and the ASA says it can’t be advertised to the public, including on your homepage and social media. Aesthetics clinics can promote a consultation for lines and wrinkles instead, and our clinics guide covers how. This isn’t legal advice.
