Brief & structure
We map the treatments you want to fill, the searches your clients use, and the booking tool you already run, then shape the site around them.
Salons & barbers · Berlew
Empty chairs on a quiet Tuesday? Instagram alone will not fill them.
A fast, bespoke site built around your work, designed to rank for local "hair salon near me" searches, look beautiful on the phones your clients actually book from, and connect to the booking system you already use. Design and build led by our award-winning creative director.
one-page site · 1–3 week delivery
Do salons still need a website?
My clients book through Fresha and find me on Instagram, do I need a website?
Yes. A booking app like Fresha, Treatwell or Booksy is brilliant at taking the appointment, but it's built to sell its own marketplace, and Instagram rents you an audience you don't own. Your website is the one place that's yours: it ranks for "[treatment] [town]" searches, shows your best work fast on mobile, and answers the price, location and parking questions that decide whether someone books. We build that site and link your booking system straight into it, so nothing changes about how appointments come in.

What a salon site needs
A site that turns browsers into bookings
Not a placeholder with your opening hours, but a fast, findable site that shows your work and makes booking effortless.
A real salon's site
How we rebuilt Ice Hair and Barbers' website
Ice Hair and Barbers is a salon in Kingsway, Gloucester. Our web design for salons approach gave them a cleaner, faster home for their work that makes booking simple on any device.
Their owner is not a tech person, so we kept the whole process patient and hands-on. It is the same website design approach we would bring to your salon. If you sell products or gift cards, our e-commerce web design covers that too.
Your own site or a booking page alone?
How a bespoke site compares to Fresha or an Instagram bio
Booking apps and social profiles get you started fast. Here is what changes when websites for salons are built properly, as a studio site that is genuinely yours.

Questions from salon owners
The questions we hear most before a salon website starts.
Do you specialise in salon websites?
We're a general Nottingham design studio, not a salon-only shop, but we've designed and built for the trade, including Ice Hair and Barbers in Gloucester. You get a studio that understands work-led, booking-led local sites and works across branding, web and print.
Can you connect my Fresha, Treatwell or Booksy booking?
Yes. We build your public website and link your existing booking system straight into it, so appointments keep coming in exactly as they do now, we're adding a home for your brand, not replacing your booking tool.
Will my site help me rank for local searches?
That's the aim. We build indexable pages for your treatments and town so you can show up for searches like "balayage [town]" over time, something a single booking-app profile struggles to do.
How much does a salon website cost?
From £750 for a one-page site, then £500 for each additional page, so a site with separate treatment or team pages is quoted on page count. You get a fixed quote before any work starts.
I'm not techy, is it hard to manage?
Not at all. Ice Hair's owner told us they're "utterly useless with tech" and we kept it patient and simple, you get full training and a site that's easy to update after launch.
Will I own the website?
Yes. We build on WordPress and hand over full admin access, files and training at launch.
Do you only work with salons near Nottingham?
No. We're a Nottingham studio working with salons across the UK. briefs, design reviews and handover all run remotely.
