A salon service list needs more than a service name and a price. Duration, consultation requirements and stylist-dependent pricing help customers choose the correct booking option.
Information to prepare
Service definitions
Explain what each service includes. Distinguish a cut from a cut with styling, and a color consultation from a treatment.
Price conditions
State whether prices are fixed, start at an amount or depend on hair length, products or stylist. Do not turn an estimate into a guaranteed quote.
Appointment duration
List approximate durations and separate any consultation or processing time. Avoid presenting these as live availability.
Booking requirements
Link each service to the appropriate booking page. Identify services requiring a consultation, patch test or direct contact, based on your actual policy.
Appointment policies
Publish your approved cancellation, deposit and lateness policies in one place and link to them from booking pages.
Questions your information should answer
- Does a haircut include styling?
- Do I need a consultation before booking color?
- Is this a fixed price or a starting price?
- How do I change an appointment?
A practical example
Example only: Color services start at the published amount; final pricing follows a consultation. Link to the consultation appointment rather than suggesting a fixed price for every customer.
A common mistake
A general booking link can send customers to the wrong service or duration. Match service descriptions to the booking system's labels.
Who should check it?
Have the owner verify the service menu and each price qualifier. Check booking links with the appointment manager, and confirm that policies match what customers see before reserving.
When to update it
Review whenever staff, service durations, price ranges, deposit rules or booking categories change.
