Set up your online salon page
Set up your online profile with details, address, opening hours, photos, a description and amenities, then put it live so clients can book online.
Your online profile is the page of a location on Saloon.nl. Clients see your photos, services, team, opening hours and reviews there, and book an appointment themselves. Each location has its own profile. As long as a profile is not live, nobody can book that location online.
What you need to go live
Saloon keeps a checklist. Five parts are needed to go live; the sixth is optional:
- Name and contact: the name on your profile. You also fill in a phone number and e-mail address.
- Address: a full address, with the pin in the right place on the map.
- Opening hours: the days and times you are open.
- Photos: at least 3 and at most 10 photos of your salon, in JPG, PNG or WebP.
- Description: at least 70 and at most 1200 characters about your salon.
- Amenities and features (optional): labels such as Free Wi-Fi, Wheelchair accessible or Vegan products.
Set up the profile
- Go to Online profile in the menu. You see a card for each location.
- Click Set up profile on the location, then Get started.
- Under Your details, fill in the Name on your profile, the Phone number and the Email address. Saloon copies them from the location; change them if you want to show clients something else. The e-mail address is not shown on your profile: when a client replies to an appointment e-mail, the reply arrives there.
- Under Where do clients find you?, check the address and the pin. Directions, such as where clients can park, are optional.
- Under When are you open? you see the location's opening hours. To show other hours on your profile, switch on I want to show other hours.
- Under Show your salon, upload your photos. The first is your cover photo; drag the photos into the order you want.
- Under Tell clients about your salon, write your description and choose your amenities, features and values.
- Under Ready to go live you see how clients see your profile and what is still missing. When everything is ready, click Go live.
Each step is saved as soon as you click Next step. With Save and close you stop halfway. The location's card then shows how many parts are ready, and Continue setup takes you back later.
Change your profile later
- Go to Online profile in the menu and click Manage on the location.
- Choose a part, such as Details, Address, Opening hours or Description, and click Edit. On a phone, tap the part first.
- Photos are added, moved and removed directly under Photos; changes are saved straight away.
Overview shows your links to share and anything that is still missing. With Preview, or View once your profile is live, you see your page as clients see it.
Take it offline and put it live again
Click Take offline at the top of your profile if you want no online bookings for a while. Your page then disappears from Saloon.nl and your booking links stop working. Your reviews are kept. With Go live everything is back online.
You need the permission Can set up and manage online booking for this. You set it under Settings › Team members › Permission roles.
Frequently asked questions
Can I delete a profile completely?
No. You can take a profile offline. It is then no longer visible and nobody can book it online. You put it back with Go live.
I have several locations. How does that work?
Each location gets its own profile, with its own page and booking links. You add a new location with Add location at the top of the Online profile page.
Why is a service missing from my page?
Your page only shows services that can be booked online and that are done by a team member who works at that location and can be booked online.
What do the figures at the top of Online profile mean?
New customers, Sales and Online bookings show what your profiles brought in together: clients who booked with you for the first time through your profile, what completed online bookings earned and how many appointments were booked online, not counting cancelled ones.
