Instagram and Facebook for hair and beauty salons
In beauty, clients choose with their eyes. A salon that shows its work every week gets booking requests in its DMs; one whose last post is three months old looks closed.
What fills the calendar
- A before-and-after for each service, with price and duration
- This week’s open slots, posted on Monday
- Current trends, done by your team
- The products you use, to reassure on quality
- Busy seasons: prom, weddings, the holidays
What you tell Relay
Take the photos between clients and send them to Relay. It writes the text, builds the before-and-after if needed and schedules it.
- “Here’s the before and after of this morning’s balayage, make a post with the price: from $180, 3 hours.”
- “Announce that I still have three slots Thursday afternoon.”
- “Plan four posts for wedding season, one a week.”
An example post Relay prepared
“From brassy to soft honey blonde ✨ Balayage + gloss, about 3 hours, from $180. Two slots left Thursday: DM us to book.”
Mistakes to avoid
- Blurry photos under yellow light: shoot in daylight
- Never mentioning prices: clients go ask elsewhere
- Posting a client’s photos without their consent
