CONTENT IDEAS TO CREATE IN 2024
HOW TO BOOK SALON APPOINTMENTS
Make it easy for clients to book an appointment by including clear instructions on how do so. Whether you use a booking platform or prefer clients to call or message directly,
provide all the necessary information they need to schedule their visit. Bonus: create
posts about how to prepare for salon appointments- salon’s often focus mainly on the
aftercare aspect of salon visits but it’s equally as important to educate clients on what to
do PRE appointment!
SHOWCASE YOUR SALON SPACE
Another important aspect of your salon's social media presence is showcasing the
space itself. Include high-quality pictures of your salon interior and exterior, highlighting
its cleanliness, organization, and overall ambiance. Clients want to feel comfortable and
relaxed when visiting a salon, so showing off your space can help them visualize
themselves there and feel confident in booking an appointment.
TEAM FEATURES
Lastly, feature team members on your page to introduce clients to the talented
individuals behind the chair. Highlight their skills, experience, and personalities to give
clients a sense of who will be taking care of them during their visit. Including staff
profiles can help build rapport with clients before they even step foot in the door.

IMPORTANT INSTAGRAM FEATURES TO UTILIZE
Make sure to utilize features like pinning posts to page, story highlights, and regular posting to ensure that important information is easily found on their salon's profile. By pinning important posts to the top of the page, such as promotions or special events, clients can quickly access key information without having to scroll through a lot of content. Story highlights allow salons to categorize and save past stories, making it easy for clients to reference previous content like before-and-after photos or client testimonials. Regular posting of important information not only keeps followers engaged but also ensures that up-to-date information is readily available on the salon's profile. These features help maintain an organized and informative profile that enhances the overall user experience and keeps clients informed about all the latest happenings at the salon.
