Website Design for Beauty Salons in Perth

For Perth beauty therapists, skin and laser clinics, brow and lash studios and nail bars, from a Leederville shopfront to a home studio in the hills: a website with every treatment, its time and its price, laser pages that say which Radiological Council purpose your operators hold, and a Book now button that opens the system you already use. You see the full draft before you pay anything.

What a Perth beauty salon site has to get right

WA registers every Class 3B and Class 4 cosmetic laser and licenses the people who use them, it requires a skin check before some laser courses, and commercial solariums have been banned here since January 2016. A Perth client comparing clinics on a phone sees all of that in how a menu is written, so the site has to describe each treatment the way WA actually allows it to be done.

  • Laser pages that name the WA purpose

    Under the Radiation Safety Act a beauty therapist using a Class 3B or Class 4 laser needs an exemption from licence for a set purpose: Lasers – Hair Removal, Lasers – Non-Ablative Cosmetic or Lasers – Tattoo Removal. The Radiological Council's published licence list covers medical and dental licences only, so a client can't look your therapists up there. Putting each operator's purpose beside their name on the laser page answers the question before it's asked.

  • Booking that starts with a skin check where WA requires one

    For cosmetic laser courses other than hair removal, and for tattoo removal, the Council's guidelines require an in-person consultation first with a doctor, nurse practitioner or Division 1 registered nurse whose scope includes skin checks. The site should make that the first step: a Book a consultation button on pigment, vascular and tattoo removal pages, with the treatment sessions booked afterwards, and a sentence explaining why.

  • IPL described by training and device

    Intense pulsed light isn't regulated under WA's Radiation Safety Act, so an IPL page has no licence to quote and shouldn't borrow the wording of the laser page. Give the device name, the training your therapists have done, the skin and hair types it suits, whether a patch test comes first and roughly how many sessions a course runs to. You supply those facts and approve the wording; we lay them out.

  • Waxing hygiene in WA Health's own terms

    WA Health's advice for beauty therapists says wax is single use, a fresh spatula goes into the stock pot every time, roll-on wax has to be thermally disinfected before a second client, and UV cabinets don't sterilise anything. A short hygiene panel that says what your room actually does on each of those points is more convincing than a stock photo of a steriliser, and it keeps the site from claiming something the guidance rules out.

  • Aftercare that mentions the Perth sun

    The same WA Health page says therapists may advise clients not to sunbathe for at least 48 hours after being waxed. For Perth clients planning a beach day after an appointment, that line belongs in the waxing aftercare, next to the notes on exfoliating, tight clothing and how long to wait before a spray tan.

  • Gift vouchers with the national terms beside the button

    Most vouchers sold since 1 November 2019 must be redeemable for at least three years, carry a prominent expiry date and come with no fees charged after purchase, according to the ACCC. Put those terms next to the voucher button, whether vouchers come from Fresha, Timely or Kitomba, a request form you follow up by email, or a payment built into the site and quoted separately.

  • Home studios and bridal call-outs set up properly first

    WA Health says a mobile beauty therapist can't do skin penetration procedures, waxing included, unless every place they work is registered with the local government. A bridal page offering a brow wax at the hotel, or a home studio page in Kalamunda or Joondalup, should go live only once those approvals are in hand. After that the page lists the suburbs you travel to, any call-out minimum and how early you start on a wedding morning.

Running a beauty business in Perth: councils, lasers and tanning

In WA, waxing, shaving, tweezing and electrolysis are skin penetration procedures under the Health (Skin Penetration Procedures) Regulations 1998 and their Code of Practice, and WA Health says (opens in a new tab) an establishment must tell its local government its trading name, address and the procedures it plans to offer. Our Perth hair salon page explains how hairdressing dropped out of council approvals in 2024 while waxing stayed in. What a beauty owner meets in practice depends on the council. The Town of Cambridge (opens in a new tab) wants a Skin Penetration Procedure Establishment Application with details of floor and wall finishes, hand basins, the workspace layout and waste bins, at least two sinks and an ASIC business registration, and notes that Ahpra-registered practitioners and people working under a doctor's supervision sit outside the Regulations. The City of Vincent (opens in a new tab) takes the application by email, then an Environmental Health Officer inspects before opening; that inspection can take up to two hours and Vincent suggests booking it at least two weeks ahead. The City of Kalamunda (opens in a new tab) lists beauty therapy and nail salons as skin penetration premises, inspects them routinely once approved, and sends anyone working from home to its planning service for a home occupation approval.

Lasers are where WA asks the most of a beauty business. The Radiological Council's guidelines for cosmetic use of lasers (opens in a new tab) (revision 2.1, October 2026) say the premises and every Class 3B and Class 4 laser must be registered, even one in storage, and that each operator needs a licence or exemption or must work under a WA licensee's supervision. For a therapist who isn't a doctor or nurse, the prerequisites (opens in a new tab) are a recognised laser safety course plus at least 25 hours of supervised practical training for hair removal, 100 hours for non-ablative cosmetic work (a purpose introduced in December 2025 to replace the narrower superficial cosmetic one), or a tattoo removal course and 100 hours with at least 50 in tattoo removal, each signed off by a WA licensee. Where no medical practitioner is directly involved in the clinic, an Ahpra-registered medical practitioner has to endorse the laser policies in writing, and for tattoo removal confirm they're available for medical support, which needn't be in person. A therapist who already holds a Queensland or Tasmanian cosmetic laser licence can use it towards the WA equivalent, which is worth a line on the team page if you've hired from interstate.

Those rules shape the booking path as much as the wording. Because pigment, vascular and other non-ablative laser courses, and tattoo removal, need a documented in-person skin check before each new course, a clinic site works best with a consultation as the bookable first step and the course priced underneath it. Laser hair removal is excluded from that requirement, so it can go straight to Book now. Either way, the practitioner and the clinic decide what is compliant; we arrange the words you give us and point to the Council's guidance rather than interpret it. National advertising limits for injectables are on our main beauty salon page.

Tanning menus need checking too. Cancer Council WA (opens in a new tab) says commercial solariums were banned in WA in 2015, with the ban taking effect in January 2016, and that charging for tanning sessions is illegal and can be reported to the Radiological Council. It also warns about collariums, modified sunbeds marketed as a healthier option that still emit UV. If you've taken over a salon that once had a sunbed, check old price lists and directory listings, and keep the website's tanning section to spray and airbrush tans.

We're an Adelaide team and work with Perth businesses by phone and email. Perth stays on Western Standard Time all year, so a call at 7:30 am before your first client is 9 or 10 am in Adelaide, depending on daylight saving, and emails can wait until the room is free. We haven't built for a WA business yet; our current clients are in SA, NSW, VIC and QLD.

Client sites with the pieces a Perth salon would use

We haven't built a beauty salon site, and none of our clients is in WA. These two show the parts that carry over: priced services that lead into booking with an intake form, and voucher requests taken on the same page as bookings.

Home page of the Resolve Forward website

Resolve Forward

Professional services · Sydney

A family dispute resolution practice in Sydney. Priced packages link to online booking, and new clients have a five-step intake form. For a laser clinic, the intake becomes the pre-consultation questionnaire about skin type, medications and recent sun exposure, and the packages become courses of treatment.

Home page of the Cape Fishing Charters website

Cape Fishing Charters

Community, creative & tourism · Cape Jervis

A fishing charter at Cape Jervis in South Australia. One page takes both booking requests and gift voucher requests, with an FAQ, a photo gallery and reviews alongside. A salon uses the same arrangement for birthday and Mother's Day vouchers, with the three-year terms set out beside the request button.

Questions from Perth beauty businesses

Should our Perth laser page show our Radiological Council details?

Most clinics find it helps. The Council's public licence list covers medical and dental laser licences, not the exemptions held by beauty therapists, so your own page is where clients find out who is authorised. Give each operator's purpose, such as Lasers – Hair Removal, and keep it current when someone new joins; that update is a text change covered by the $30 monthly hosting. The cosmetic laser guidelines (opens in a new tab) set out what each purpose allows.

Can clients book a pigmentation laser course straight online?

They can book the consultation online. WA's guidelines require an in-person skin check with a doctor, nurse practitioner or Division 1 registered nurse whose scope of practice includes skin checks before each new course of non-ablative laser treatment or tattoo removal, so we'd set the page up with the consultation as the first booking and the course shown below it with its price. Laser hair removal doesn't carry that requirement and can link straight to your booking system.

We do IPL, not laser. What does the page say instead of a licence?

WA's Radiation Safety Act doesn't cover IPL, so there's no WA licence to show. The page can describe the device, the training each therapist has completed, who the treatment suits, the patch test and the usual number of sessions. Avoid wording that reads like a laser licence, and leave out promises about results. You supply and approve the details; we set them out.

We're opening in Vincent next month. When should the website go live?

Build the draft now and publish once council has approved the premises. Vincent's Environmental Health Officer inspects before opening, and the City suggests booking that inspection at least two weeks ahead. We can have the site ready as a draft link in the meantime, with a coming soon page or the full menu waiting to switch on, and you pay only once you approve it.

A client asked if we have a collarium. Can we mention tanning beds at all?

Not as something you offer. Cancer Council WA says commercial solariums have been banned in WA since January 2016 and describes collariums as modified sunbeds that still produce UV. Keep the tanning section to spray and airbrush tans, with shade options, prep notes and how long to wait before showering.

How does an Adelaide team build a site for a Perth salon?

By phone and email, fitted around your appointment book. We're at Ste 3/110 Hutt St, Adelaide, with current clients in SA, NSW, VIC and QLD and none in WA yet. Send the menu, booking link, therapist details and photos; the draft comes as a link you can check on your phone between clients. We reply within 24 hours.

Ready to put your Perth salon's menu online?

Send us your treatment list with times and prices, your booking link, each therapist's training and laser purpose if you have one, your hygiene and aftercare notes and some photos. We'll quote, build the draft, and you pay once you've approved it.

We reply within 24 hours. Prefer email? info@webcraftstudio.com.au
