Website Design for Hair Salons in Sydney

For Sydney salons, from a two-chair studio in Newtown to a colour salon on the North Shore: a site that shows what each service costs, who will do the work and how to get to your door, then passes new clients to the booking system you already use. Nothing to pay until you've approved the draft.

What a Sydney salon website has to answer

A new client in Sydney can usually reach several salons within a short trip, so your site is often read side by side with two or three others. The salon that states its prices, its people and its location clearly is the easiest one to say yes to.

  • Stylist levels that line up with the price list

    If you charge by level (graduate, stylist, senior, director), each profile shows the person's level and the price list shows a column or a line for each one. A client watching the budget can then see exactly who does the cheaper cut. Apprentices get their own line too, with the services they take on and a note that a qualified hairdresser supervises them, which is how NSW Fair Trading says it should work.

  • The languages each stylist speaks

    A colour consultation is mostly description: warm or cool, how much lift, how often you'll come back. That's easier in a client's first language, and more than a third of people in Greater Sydney use a language other than English at home. If a stylist can consult in Mandarin, Arabic, Cantonese, Vietnamese, Greek or anything else, a line on their profile tells people before they book.

  • Bridal and event hair, with travel spelled out

    Weddings bring trials, early starts and travel. A bridal page sets out what a trial includes and where it happens, the earliest start you'll do, how far you'll go (the inner city, the Northern Beaches, out to the Blue Mountains or the Southern Highlands) and how travel is charged. The enquiry form asks for the date, the venue and how many people need styling.

  • Directions that allow for a long appointment

    Foils, a balayage or a colour correction can keep someone in the chair for hours, which is longer than plenty of street parking allows. Name a car park that takes a long stay, the nearest station or bus stop and the walk in minutes. A salon near one of the new Southwest Metro stations should name that station, because the T3 Bankstown Line no longer runs there.

  • A separate page for each salon in a group

    Two or three salons in different suburbs each get a page with their own address, hours, phone number, team and booking link. Someone searching for your Paddington salon then finds Paddington's Saturday hours, not Parramatta's, and each page can carry the photos and reviews that belong to that salon.

  • Waxing and brows on a menu of their own

    If you also wax brows or lips, list those services under their own heading with prices, patch test notes and aftercare. NSW treats waxing as a skin penetration procedure, which brings council registration with it, so it's worth having that settled before the menu goes online. The section below explains how Sydney councils differ.

Running a hair salon in Sydney: qualifications, councils and getting there

NSW still controls who can cut hair for money. Under the Hairdressers Act 2003 (opens in a new tab), which NSW Fair Trading administers, unqualified people can't act as hairdressers for a fee, gain or reward. The usual qualification is a Certificate III in Hairdressing from a registered training organisation; training approved as equivalent, or having held a licence under Part 6 of the old Shops and Industries Act 1962, also counts. Apprentices don't need the qualification, but a qualified person should directly control and supervise their work, and a Fair Trading officer can ask a hairdresser to show their qualifications. A website doesn't have to recite any of this. It shapes the team page instead: clients can see who is qualified, at what level, and who is an apprentice working under supervision.

Hair services on their own aren't skin penetration, but waxing is. NSW Health's hygiene fact sheet for hairdressers and barbers (opens in a new tab) says a hair business that offers waxing must register with its local council as a skin penetration business, under the Public Health Regulation 2022. After that, Sydney's councils go their own ways. The City of Sydney's registration page (opens in a new tab) covers waxing, electrolysis, piercing, cuticle cutting and similar procedures, and leaves out barbering and hairdressing where no skin is penetrated. The City of Ryde asks every hairdressing salon, beauty salon and skin penetration business to register. Campbelltown registers hairdressers without charging the fee and inspects them once a year. So what a salon has to lodge depends on both the services it offers and the council it sits in, and your own council's page is the one to check before you add waxing to the menu.

Sydney's clients bring many languages to the chair. At the 2021 Census, 57% of people in Greater Sydney spoke only English at home and 37% used another language (the rest didn't say). The most common were Mandarin (5.0%), Arabic (4.2%), Cantonese (2.8%) and Vietnamese (2.2%). For a salon, that's a practical point rather than a slogan. If your stylists speak other languages, their profiles should say which ones. If you'd like a short section of the site in another language, you supply the translated words, checked by a fluent speaker, and we lay them out with the Book now button kept in reach.

Part of the inner south-west has new directions to give. Sydney Metro set 30 October 2026 (opens in a new tab) as the start of Southwest Metro services at Marrickville, Dulwich Hill, Hurlstone Park, Canterbury, Campsie, Belmore, Lakemba, Wiley Park, Punchbowl and Bankstown, replacing the old T3 Bankstown Line. A salon near any of them should name the station and the exit in its directions. Everywhere else, the details that matter are the same: which stop or station, how long the walk is, and where someone can park for a three-hour colour without collecting a fine.

Everything runs by phone and email from our studio in Adelaide, which suits an owner who is on the floor all day. Send us the price list, your booking link and photos of the team and their work; the draft comes back as a link you can check between clients, and payment comes only after you approve it.

Sites we've built for Sydney businesses

We haven't built a hair salon site yet. Our two Sydney clients show the parts a salon would borrow: services and prices that each lead into an online booking, and a compact single page with tap-to-call.

Home page of the Resolve Forward website

Resolve Forward

Professional services · Sydney

A family law dispute resolution practice in Sydney. Every priced package opens online booking, alongside six service pages with FAQs and a five-step intake form. Replace the packages with cuts, colour and treatments and you have the outline of a salon's services page.

Home page of the Western Sydney Stump Grinding & Tree Removal website

Western Sydney Stump Grinding & Tree Removal

Trades & construction · Western & Greater Sydney

A family-owned tree service working across Western and Greater Sydney. Services, an area list, customer reviews, two quote forms and tap-to-call all fit on one page: the same compact layout a solo stylist or a two-chair studio could use, with a booking button in place of the quote forms.

“He was incredibly hands-on, always available to answer questions, and made every requested change promptly and without hesitation.”

Questions Sydney salon owners ask us

Should our team page say who is qualified and who is an apprentice?

We suggest it does. In NSW only qualified people can work as hairdressers for a fee, and apprentices work under a qualified person's supervision. Labelling each person's level lets clients choose on price and experience, and if apprentice services cost less, the price list can show it. You supply and approve any wording about qualifications; NSW Fair Trading's hairdresser page (opens in a new tab) sets out the rules.

We've started doing brow waxing. Does the website need to change?

Only to add the services, prices and aftercare notes. The business side is separate: NSW Health counts waxing as skin penetration, so your council needs you registered for it, and Sydney councils run their registers differently. Once that's done, adding a waxing section to an existing page is a text change covered by the $30 monthly hosting.

Can part of our site be in Mandarin or Arabic?

Yes. You provide the translated text, ideally checked by a fluent speaker, and we set it out on its own page or beside the English, with booking still one tap away. We arrange the words you give us rather than writing or translating them. A smaller first step is a line on each stylist's profile listing the languages they consult in.

We have salons in two suburbs. One website or two?

Usually one site with a page for each salon: one domain, one booking system and one price list to keep up to date, while each salon keeps its own address, hours, team and phone number. The 8-page site at $1,499 has room for a page per salon plus services, team, bridal and policies. Two separate sites only make sense if the salons trade under different names.

You're in Adelaide. How do we work together from Sydney?

By phone and email, timed around the salon: a call before you open or after close, and emails you can answer between clients. We're a web design team at Ste 3/110 Hutt St, Adelaide, with current clients in SA, NSW, VIC and QLD, including two in Sydney. You pay nothing until you approve the draft, and we reply within 24 hours.
