Canonical page: https://uxpro.ca/industries/salons-barbershops What their customers come to the site to do: 1. See the services and what each costs 2. Book a chair from the phone in their hand 3. Find the shop, and when it is open **From $1,500 CAD per project, plus HST** ## What does a barbershop or salon website actually need? Four things: your booking tool one tap from the first screen, a price list that is current, hours and location that match your Google listing exactly, and photos of your own work. Most of these searches happen on a map, so the profile matters as much as the site. Orient reported 400% more online bookings in the two months after launch and 70% fewer no-shows; their figures, their comparison. | Fact | Value | |---|---| | Typical timeline | Typically two to three weeks for one page; typically four to six weeks for five to ten | | Typical size | One landing page, built around a single conversion, or a custom site of five to ten pages | | Booking | Your tool, one tap from any page | | Client-reported | Orient: 400% more online bookings in the two months after launch | | No-shows | 70% fewer no-shows, by the shop’s own count | | What you supply | Prices, photos, hours, policies | | Price | From $1,500 CAD + HST | | Plan fit | Essentials, $250 a month, plus profile upkeep | ## What this sector changes about the build. The constraints on the right are the pages the site needs because of them. Pages this site needs: - Book now: Your booking tool, one tap away, on every page and on the map listing. - Services and prices: Current prices, how long each takes, and who to book with. - The team: Who does what, their specialties, and a direct booking link each. - Work gallery: Your own photos, compressed properly so the page still loads in a second. - Hours, location and parking: Matching your Google listing exactly, holidays included. - Policies: Cancellation window, late arrivals, deposits, and what happens on a no-show. ### The booking button is the site One tap from the first screen, on every page, and on the map listing. Whichever tool you use keeps the appointments and the reminders; the site's job is to get people into it without a second thought. A shop with no online booking loses the customer who will not phone. - Book button in the first screen and in the sticky bar - The same booking link on your Google listing - Confirmation and reminder messages switched on - Phone as an equal option for people who prefer it ### No-shows are a reminder problem Orient Barber Shop reported 70% fewer no-shows after confirmations and reminders went to the phone in the customer's hand, alongside a stated cancellation window. That is a configuration job on your booking tool more than a design job, and it is the highest-value hour of the project. ### The map listing does most of the selling Categories, services with prices, twenty real photos, correct hours including holidays, the booking link, and reviews with your replies. For a local shop the profile is often the first and only page a customer sees, so we treat it as one. - Services and prices on the profile itself - Twenty or more real photos, added monthly - Hours and holiday hours kept current - Reviews asked for at the chair, replied to within two days ### Your own photos, and a price list that is true Real cuts, real colour, real chairs. Stock photography reads as a shop that has nothing to show. And the price list has to match what you charge today, because a stale price is the fastest way to start an appointment badly. ## What we can show a buyer in this sector. The one live project on this site with figures attached: a Kitchener shop we can walk to. - **[Orient Barber Shop](https://uxpro.ca/work/orient-barber-shop)** (Barber shop · full site · Client-reported): Booking moved above the fold, confirmations and reminders wired to the phone in the visitor's hand, and the Google Business Profile rebuilt to say what the site says. Their figures, their comparison; we did not audit them. The booking and no-show figures are the shop's own count, reported to us. ## The compliance work is a line item, not a paragraph. Fewer rules than a regulated practice, and two that still matter. Named deliverables: - Pricing and claims review: Prices current and complete, no before-and-after claims for treatments you cannot support, and a cancellation policy written where people see it before they book. - Booking and reminder set-up: Confirmations, reminders and the cancellation window configured in your booking tool. This is what moved Orient's no-shows. - [AODA and WCAG 2.2 AA pass](https://uxpro.ca/services/compliance/aoda): Keyboard path, contrast, heading order, focus states and form labels checked before launch, and again on every care-plan review. ## What a build for this sector costs. How we price it: **From $1,500 CAD per project, plus HST.** A shop site is usually one landing page, built around a single conversion, or a short five-page site, and the smallest build we do. Most of the value is in the booking set-up and the Google profile, so we quote all three together. Add-ons: extra article $220 · extra page $450 · hourly $120. All figures are CAD and exclude tax. Month-to-month. Cancel any time. No annual pricing exists. Changes the price: - How many stylists or barbers need their own booking link. - Which booking tool you use, and whether it needs configuring. - Whether you sell products online as well as book appointments. - How many locations there are. Not included: - Booking tool subscriptions and payment processing fees. - Photography, if your own photos are not usable. - Ad spend. - Retail inventory management. ## Ontario, from Kitchener.

You need somewhere people land when they search your name, see your prices and check your hours. The booking app keeps the appointments. The site and the Google listing are what get someone into the app in the first place. ### How do I cut down no-shows? Confirmations and reminders to the phone, a stated cancellation window, and a deposit on longer services. Orient Barber Shop reported 70% fewer no-shows after that was configured; their figure, their count. It is a setting on your booking tool more than a design decision. ### Should my prices be on the site? Yes, and on your Google listing. People decide before they call. A missing price list sends them to the shop that published one, and a stale price starts the appointment with an argument. ### Should I use my booking app's own page instead of a website? It is a fine start and a poor finish. The booking page cannot rank for your services or your neighbourhood, it lists other shops beside yours, and it disappears if you change tools. A small site with the booking one tap from every page keeps the customer, the search traffic and the address yours. ## Guides for this sector, and the services it usually buys.
