Top 5 tips to optimize your hair services booking process:

🔎 Ad targeting is a staple of e-commerce, but hair services are still a largely untapped market.

🔎 Merchandise services by packaging Trends/Looks into easily bookable options, giving customers clarity on what they’ll get in the salon.

🔎 Build customer confidence by engaging with them before their visit — send out “how to prepare” guides or tips.

🔎 Streamline booking from social media to salon — make it seamless to go from inspiration to appointment with direct booking links.
