Website Design for Hair Salons in Perth

For salons in Mount Lawley or Leederville, inside a shopping centre at Joondalup or Cannington, or in a home studio out in Baldivis or Ellenbrook: a site that lists your prices and your team's qualifications, tells clients which station or car park to use, and passes them to the booking system you already run. Nothing to pay until you've approved the draft.

What a Perth salon website should cover

Perth stretches a long way along the coast, and a new client is usually choosing between the salons that are easy to reach from home or work. They want the price, the person and the way in before they commit. A few of their questions are particular to WA: who is qualified now there's no state register, whether you wax, and which of the new train stations is closest.

  • Qualifications written on each profile

    WA wound up its hairdresser registration board more than a decade ago, so a client has nowhere official to check who is trained. Your team page is where they find out. Beside each photo, give the person's qualification (a Certificate III in Hairdressing, for instance), how long they've been doing hair, and for an apprentice, which year they're in and which services they take on. You choose the wording; we set it out.

  • A booking calendar that works around rosters

    Many of Perth's fly-in fly-out workers live in the outer suburbs, and someone who is only home between swings wants their cut and colour locked in before they fly out again. Keep the Book now button in reach on every screen, say how far ahead your calendar opens, and list the days each stylist works so clients can match them to their swing.

  • Directions by line and station as well as a map pin

    Several suburbs gained a station in the past two years. If you're close to one, name it, the exit to use and the walk in minutes. A CBD salon can point to the free CAT buses, and one that trades on Sundays can mention that Transperth travel is free that day for SmartRider and contactless users. For drivers, name a car park that allows a long stay, because a full head of foils outlasts most two-hour bays.

  • A home studio page that keeps your street private

    If you cut from a room at home, the site can give the suburb and a rough map area, with the street address, parking and the door to knock on sent in the booking confirmation instead. Sort out your council's planning requirements before the site invites anyone round; the section below explains what changed for hair in 2024.

  • Waxing and brows on a list of their own

    Brow, lip and body waxing count as skin penetration in WA, so they carry council paperwork that cutting and colouring no longer do. Give them a separate heading with prices, patch test notes and aftercare, and keep that heading off the live site until your approval comes through. If a bridal package includes a brow tidy at the venue, read the mobile rule below first.

  • Wedding hair from the Swan Valley to Rottnest

    A ceremony at a Swan Valley winery is a drive; one on Rottnest Island means ferry times, and sometimes the night before on the island. A bridal page sets out what a trial includes, the earliest start you'll take, how travel is charged (ferry fares and accommodation included where they apply) and an enquiry form asking for the date, the venue and how many people need styling.

Running a salon in Perth: what changed in WA, and how clients get to you

Western Australia kept its own register of hairdressers for more than 60 years. In 2006 the state government noted that WA was the only state or territory with a separate registration scheme and statutory board (opens in a new tab) for hairdressers. An amendment and expiry Act passed in 2010 had the board wind up its affairs, and the Hairdressers Registration Act 1946 (opens in a new tab) then expired by Gazette notice on 13 March 2012. So there's no board register for a client to search. If they want to know who holds a Certificate III and who is still an apprentice, your team page is where they'll look. NSW is different: qualifications are still required there by law, as our Sydney salon page sets out.

The rules for salon premises changed more recently. Stage 5A of the Public Health Act 2016 began on 4 June 2024, and the Hairdressing Establishment Regulations 1972 were repealed as low risk. WA Health replaced them with a guideline for the hairdressing industry (opens in a new tab) covering premises design, infection control, waste and cleaning up blood or body fluid spills, which salons follow alongside the Act's general public health duty, as the City of Canning's health premises page (opens in a new tab) puts it. Perth councils have changed their advice to match. The City of Joondalup (opens in a new tab) says hairdressing establishments no longer have to be registered with it, the City of Wanneroo (opens in a new tab) says approvals from its Health Services are no longer required, and the City of Canning (opens in a new tab) says hairdressers haven't needed its health premises approval since June 2024, though development approval still applies to a home-based salon. Our Perth new business page explains the home occupation and home business categories WA councils use. Some council pages still quote the 1972 regulations; if yours does, its environmental health team can tell you what applies now.

Waxing is where the paperwork stays. WA Health lists waxing, shaving and tweezing among the procedures covered by the Health (Skin Penetration Procedure) Regulations 1998 (opens in a new tab) and the Code of Practice, and says an establishment must give its local government its trading name, address and the procedures it plans to offer. Wanneroo asks for a skin penetration premises application with a floor plan and fees, inspects the premises and then gives written approval to operate, while Canning says beauty and skin services can't see clients until every approval is in place. WA Health also says mobile practitioners may perform these procedures only where every location is registered with the local government, which matters before a bridal package promises waxing on the morning. Your site doesn't need to recite any of this; it just decides when the waxing list goes live.

The train network has grown under Metronet. The Ellenbrook Line (opens in a new tab) opened in December 2024 with new stations at Morley, Noranda, Ballajura (planned as Malaga), Whiteman Park and Ellenbrook. In June 2025 the Thornlie–Cockburn Line (opens in a new tab) opened with stations at Nicholson Road and Ranford Road, and the inner Armadale Line reopened with elevated stations at Carlisle, Oats Street, Queens Park, Cannington and Beckenham. Transperth's free travel (opens in a new tab) covers CAT buses in central Perth and Joondalup, trains within the CBD between City West, Elizabeth Quay and Claisebrook, and Sunday travel for SmartRider and contactless users, apart from late-night services after Saturday midnight. Directions written two years ago may be missing the quickest way to your door.

We're an Adelaide team and work with Perth salons by phone and email. WA keeps Western Standard Time all year, so Perth is an hour and a half behind us in winter and two and a half hours behind while South Australia is on daylight saving from October to April: a call at 8 am in Perth, before your first client, is 10:30 am here in summer. We haven't built for a WA business yet. Our current clients are in SA, NSW, VIC and QLD, and the examples below come from those states.

Booking and gallery sites we've built in other states

We haven't built a hair salon site, and none of our clients is in WA. These two show the parts a Perth salon would borrow: a booking link on every page, and a photo gallery visitors can filter.

Home page of the Dr Tabara Dione Coaching website

Dr Tabara Dione Coaching

Professional services · Melbourne

Confidential coaching for doctors, run by a Melbourne specialist anaesthetist. A discovery-call booking link sits on every page, next to a services overview and an about page that sets out her credentials. For a salon, the discovery call becomes the Book now button and the credentials become each stylist's qualifications.

Home page of the Queensland Dance & Performing Arts website

Queensland Dance & Performing Arts

Community, creative & tourism · Thorneside, Brisbane's Bayside

A dance school at Thorneside on Brisbane's Bayside. Its 12 pages include one per program, a weekly class timetable, FAQs, an enrolment form and a photo gallery visitors can filter. Swap the dance photos for cuts, colour, curls and bridal work, and the same filterable layout becomes a salon's gallery.

“My website is exactly how I wanted. I highly recommend Salem for any business wanting a professional website without the bull.”

Questions Perth salon owners ask us

Does a Perth hair salon still need council health approval?

For hair on its own, often not any more. Since the Hairdressing Establishment Regulations 1972 were repealed in June 2024, Joondalup, Wanneroo and Canning have all said hairdressing doesn't need their health registration or approval, though planning approval can still apply, especially at home. Waxing still needs a skin penetration approval. Your council's environmental health team has the final word, and WA Health's hairdressers and barbers page (opens in a new tab) explains the change.

Should our website list our stylists' qualifications?

We suggest it does. With no hairdresser register in WA, the team page is the only place a new client can see who is trained. One line each is enough, such as "Certificate III in Hairdressing, ten years in salons" or "second-year apprentice, cuts and blow-dries". You supply and approve the wording, and we place it beside each photo and booking link.

A lot of our clients work FIFO. Can they book weeks ahead online?

Yes, through the booking system you already use, whether that's Fresha, Timely, Kitomba or another. How far ahead clients can book is normally set inside that system, so set it to cover a full swing; the site then says so beside the Book now button and lists each stylist's days. If you'd rather have booking and payment built into the site itself, we quote that per job.

We work from a home studio. Should our address be on the site?

That's your call. Some home stylists show the suburb and a map of the general area, then send the street address, parking and which door to use in the booking confirmation. Either way, have your council's planning approval settled before the site invites clients over. In Canning, for example, development approval still applies to a home-based salon even though hair no longer needs a health approval.

You're in Adelaide. How does this work from Perth?

By phone and email, fitted around your appointment book. We're a web design team at Ste 3/110 Hutt St, Adelaide, with current clients in SA, NSW, VIC and QLD, and we haven't worked with a WA salon yet. Send us your price list, booking link and photos of your team's work; the draft arrives as a link you can check between clients, and you pay once you approve it. We reply within 24 hours.
