Website Design for Beauty Salons in Sydney

For Sydney beauty salons, lash and brow studios, nail bars and skin clinics, whether you work from a shopfront in Blacktown, an upstairs room in Surry Hills or a mobile kit in the car boot: a site that lists every treatment with its time and price, explains how you keep things clean, and opens the booking system you already run. Nothing to pay until you approve the draft.

What a Sydney beauty website needs to get right

A new client usually compares a few salons near home or work before booking, often on a phone. In NSW, several state and council rules also decide how particular treatments can be offered, so the menu has to be accurate as well as easy to scan.

  • Hygiene described in plain terms

    Waxing, cuticle work and cosmetic tattooing all break the skin, and first-time clients often want to know how clean a salon is before they look at price. A short hygiene section answers that: single-use spatulas so wax is never double-dipped, instruments sterilised in an autoclave, fresh linen for every client. Those are the practices NSW Health's fact sheets set out, so you're describing what you already do. If your council grades salons, as Blacktown's does, the certificate can sit right beside it.

  • Laser hair removal shown through training, not a licence

    Queensland, Tasmania and Western Australia regulate cosmetic lasers. NSW doesn't, and NSW Health doesn't count laser hair removal as skin penetration either, so a Sydney laser page has no licence number to quote. What it can show is the training each operator has completed, the device you use, the skin and hair types it suits, whether a test patch comes first and how many sessions a course usually runs to, in your words and without promising a result.

  • Tanning that means spray tanning

    Commercial UV tanning has been illegal in NSW since 2014, and the EPA's wording covers offering a tanning unit as well as providing one. If you've taken over a salon that once had sunbeds, check that no old page, price list or directory listing still mentions them. The tanning section then covers spray and airbrush tans only: the shades, how long to wait before showering, and what to wear to the appointment.

  • Numbing cream notes that match NSW rules

    Nervous clients booking a first Brazilian or brow tattoo often ask whether you'll numb the area. NSW Health says beauticians can't supply Schedule 2 products, such as topical anaesthetic creams, to clients under any circumstances; a client can buy one from a pharmacy and bring it for their own use. Saying exactly that in the prep notes avoids an awkward moment at the start of the appointment, and keeps the site from offering something the salon can't provide.

  • An injectables room explained through its consultation

    If a doctor or nurse practitioner runs cosmetic injectables from a room in your salon, NSW adds its own rules to the national advertising limits. NSW Health's current beauty fact sheet says prescription-only injectables, such as anti-wrinkle injections and dermal fillers, can only be administered by a registered medical practitioner or a nurse practitioner, so the page should make clear who gives them. Walking through the consultation and giving each practitioner's full name, so clients can look them up on the Ahpra register, tells people far more than a product name would, and naming the products is something the TGA's advertising rules restrict in any case.

  • Mobile work with a service area people can check

    Plenty of beauty work in Sydney happens away from a salon: bridal make-up in a city hotel room, spray tans at home in the Hills District, lash fills in a lounge room in the Sutherland Shire. NSW Health's guidance covers mobile and home-based skin penetration work as well; a van or temporary set-up has to be notified to council, and a home studio should check with council before it opens. The website needs a plain list of the regions you travel to, any minimum booking for a call-out, how travel is charged and how early you'll start on a wedding morning.

Beauty rules in Sydney: councils, lasers, tanning and injectables

In NSW, beauty treatments that break the skin fall under the Public Health Act 2010 and the Public Health Regulation 2022 (opens in a new tab). NSW Health's fact sheet for beauty treatment businesses (opens in a new tab) gives waxing, electrolysis, cuticle cutting, razor scraping and cosmetic tattooing as examples, and says the business must be registered with its local council, with its planning and building approvals in place, before it opens. NSW Health's skin penetration page adds two exclusions that affect how a menu is set out: laser hair removal isn't a skin penetration procedure under the Regulation, and procedures done by a registered health practitioner, or under their direction, while providing a health service sit outside these rules. If you also cut hair, our Sydney hair salon page covers the NSW hairdressing requirements.

Each Sydney council keeps its own register, and their pages differ more than you might expect. Blacktown (opens in a new tab) inspects every skin penetration business at least once a year and, through its Public Health Performance Program, gives beauty and nail salons a rating of 3 (Good), 4 (Very good) or 5 (Excellent) stars, with a certificate they can display facing the public. Canterbury-Bankstown's list (opens in a new tab) names eyebrow feathering, microblading, lip blush, skin needling and cosmetic injections, asks for development consent before any fit-out or skin penetration work begins, charges the occupier for inspections, and offers free training courses in various languages. City of Parramatta (opens in a new tab) wants to hear when a beauty business opens, closes, moves, is sold or changes its trading name, so a rebrand there means a form for council as well as a new logo on the website.

Light-based treatments are handled differently here than in some other states. ARPANSA notes (opens in a new tab) that cosmetic lasers are currently regulated only in Queensland, Tasmania and Western Australia, and IPL only in Tasmania. A Sydney clinic therefore has no state laser licence to show, and the honest substitute is a clear account of training, equipment and what a course of treatment involves. UV tanning is the opposite case: according to the NSW EPA (opens in a new tab), it has been illegal since 2014 to provide, or offer to provide, a UV tanning unit for fee or reward, so anything the site says about tanning should be about spray tans.

Two more NSW rules shape what a salon can say about comfort and cosmetic medicines. The beauty fact sheet rules out beauticians supplying Schedule 2 products, which takes in numbing creams; clients may buy those from a pharmacy and bring them along for their own use. The same fact sheet, updated in November 2025, says prescription-only (Schedule 4) injectables such as botulinum toxin and hyaluronic acid dermal fillers can only be administered by a registered medical practitioner or a nurse practitioner, and NSW Health keeps a separate cosmetic procedures section (opens in a new tab) for clients. Those sit on top of the national TGA and Ahpra advertising limits described on our main beauty salon page. We arrange the words; the practitioner and their insurer decide what's compliant.

We're an Adelaide team and work with Sydney businesses by phone and email, which tends to suit owners who are with clients from opening to close. Send the treatment menu, your booking link and some photos; the draft arrives as a link you can check on your phone between appointments, and you pay only after you've approved it.

Client sites with the parts a beauty salon needs

We haven't built a beauty salon website yet. Each of these client sites has a piece a Sydney salon would use: online booking from a priced list, gift voucher requests, and published prices with a page for every area served.

Home page of the Resolve Forward website

Resolve Forward

Professional services · Sydney

A Sydney family law dispute resolution practice. Each fixed-price package leads straight into online booking, which is how each line of a treatment menu should lead into your booking system. Its five-step intake form is the same pattern a skin consultation questionnaire would follow.

Home page of the Cape Fishing Charters website

Cape Fishing Charters

Community, creative & tourism · Cape Jervis

Fishing charters out of Cape Jervis in South Australia. Visitors can ask for a charter date or a gift voucher from the same single page, next to a catch gallery, an FAQ and reviews. A salon's voucher request for a birthday or Mother's Day follows the same path.

Home page of the Phoenix Housekeeping website

Phoenix Housekeeping

Home & care services · Lake Macquarie, Cessnock & Central Coast

A family-run cleaning business covering Lake Macquarie, Cessnock and the Central Coast in NSW. It publishes its prices and gives each suburb it serves a page of its own: the layout a mobile lash, tan or make-up artist can use to show where they travel and what it costs.

“Salem created a sleek, professional website for www.resolveforward.com.au with an intuitive and easy-to-use bookings page.”

Questions Sydney beauty salon owners ask us

We offer laser hair removal in Sydney. What goes on the page instead of a licence?

NSW doesn't license cosmetic lasers or IPL; ARPANSA lists only Queensland, Tasmania and Western Australia as regulating cosmetic lasers. So the page has no licence number to quote and shouldn't hint at one. Most clinics list each operator's training, the device, the skin and hair types it suits, whether a test patch comes first and roughly how many sessions a course takes. You supply and approve those details; we set them out with a booking button beside each treatment area.

Can the site say we use numbing cream for waxing or brow tattooing?

Not as something the salon provides. NSW Health's beauty treatment fact sheet (opens in a new tab) says beauticians can't supply Schedule 2 products to clients, and that clients can buy a topical anaesthetic from a pharmacy and bring it for their own use. The prep notes for those treatments can say so in a sentence, which saves the question coming up on the day.

Our salon is in Blacktown. Can the website show our council star rating?

Yes. Blacktown City Council rates beauty and nail salons at 3, 4 or 5 stars after its yearly inspection and issues a certificate for display. We can add the rating and a photo of the certificate to your hygiene section and swap it after each inspection, a text and image change covered by the $30 monthly hosting. If you trade in a different council area, ask your council whether it grades premises before adding anything similar.

What do our gift vouchers need to say in NSW?

The NSW Government's gift card page (opens in a new tab) says most vouchers need an expiry period of at least three years, the expiry date has to be displayed prominently, and fees can't be charged after purchase, apart from some payment processing fees such as booking or overseas transaction fees. There are exceptions, among them vouchers sold below the market value of the treatment as a genuine discount and cards that can be topped up, so check which applies before a Mother's Day promotion. We place the terms beside the voucher button so buyers read them before paying.

We're adding microblading and skin needling. What changes?

Start with council. Canterbury-Bankstown, for example, lists microblading, lip blush and skin needling as skin penetration procedures and expects development consent before a fit-out, so find out what your own council needs. On the website, adding the treatments and prices to an existing menu page is a text change covered by hosting. A new page explaining the procedure, healing time and touch-up visits is quoted before we build it.

How does an Adelaide team work with a salon in Sydney?

Our studio is at Ste 3/110 Hutt St, Adelaide, and our current clients are in SA, NSW, VIC and QLD, two of them in Sydney. We reply within 24 hours, and there's nothing to pay until you've approved the draft.
