Websites for salons and barbers in York and North Yorkshire
Clients pick a hairdresser or barber on their phone. They want to see prices, a few photos of your work, and whether they can get in this week. I build simple sites for salons and barbers that answer that quickly and fit the way you already take bookings.
Walk-ins, appointments or both
A barber with a queue of walk-ins and a salon booked three weeks ahead need different pages. If you take walk-ins, the key line is "open now" plus your busy times, and my sign follows your hours so you can mark a late night or a day off. If you take appointments, the key button is "Book", placed on every page.
If you already use a booking app, I keep it and link to it. If you do not, a simple request form that sends the details to your email, plus tap-to-call and WhatsApp, suits a one-chair business well.
A price list people can read
A lot of salon sites show a photo of the printed price list, which is hard to read on a phone. I set prices out as text, grouped the way clients think: cuts, colour, beard and shave, treatments. Add "from" prices and roughly how long each takes. Next to them go the things that save awkward conversations: patch tests for colour, your deposit and no-show policy, and any extra charge for long hair.
Show your work, not a feed
A small gallery of your best cuts, with the client's permission, helps people choose you. I resize photos so the page loads quickly on mobile data, then link to your Instagram for the rest. I do not usually embed a live feed, because it slows the page and can break when Instagram changes.
Bank holidays and busy weeks
Before Christmas, wedding season and school holidays, your hours and availability change daily. A notice at the top of the page, such as "Fully booked until the 14th, walk-ins welcome Saturdays", saves a lot of messages. You edit it from your phone, even between clients.
What it costs
A new site is £350, half up front and half when you are happy and it is live. A refresh of an existing site is £250, and fixes such as a working book button or an updated price list start at £60. There is no monthly hosting fee, and the domain is about £10 a year in your name. For beauty, nails and lashes, see my other page on websites for beauty salons.
Questions people ask
Can I keep my booking app?
Yes. I link to it from every page, and where the app allows it, link each service to the right slot.
I only have Instagram. Do I need a site?
A site gives you your own address for cards and posters, readable prices and a clear book button. Instagram is still the place for your photos.
Can I show a queue or busy times?
You can put up a short note or notice that you edit yourself. I do not connect to live queue systems.
Can I put client photos up?
Only with the client's permission. I recommend asking first and keeping a note of it.
A good barber or salon site is mostly prices, photos and one clear button. I cover York and North Yorkshire, from York and Easingwold to Harrogate, Thirsk and Malton. Send me your address, or your Facebook page if you have no site, and I will reply with what I would fix and what it would cost.
