AEL TECHThe stylist's work
Clients choose a person, not a shop. Each stylist needs their own style, strengths and hair or nail types shown separately.

SalonsSalon websites: let clients choose a stylist and book
AEL TECH builds websites for hair, nail, lash and beauty studios: stylist portfolios, prices, service times and booking in one place. No build fee, from NT$399 a month, from NT$1,499 for online booking by stylist. Live in two to three weeks.
Link the Instagram portfolio, but keep prices and booking rules on a site you control.

01 / What clients look for
What a client actually compares
Two things decide it: whether the work matches their taste, and whether the price and the time work.
What it costs
Cut, colour, perm, lashes, single colour or art. The spread is wide, so a range beats asking them to enquire.
How long it takes
Service time decides whether it fits a lunch break or an evening, and it often closes the booking.
Choosing a stylist and a time
Whether they can pick both decides whether they book at all.
First-visit offers
A first colour discount or a trial price is one of the highest-volume searches in this trade.
Changing plans
Cancellation and reschedule terms, and whether a deposit is held. Stated plainly, it saves awkward calls.
02 / What the site needs
What belongs on a salon website
Price, time and stylist are what clients ask. All three should be findable without asking.
- A block or page per stylist: style, strengths, bookable sessions
- A portfolio grouped by service or look, not one undifferentiated album
- A price list with ranges and surcharges, such as long hair or custom art
- An estimated time for every service
- A booking entry that allows a chosen stylist and time
- First-visit offers and the conditions attached
- Cancellation, reschedule and deposit terms
- Address, map link, nearest station and parking
- HairSalon or BeautySalon structured data for hours and price range
- A LINE official account link, so booking and follow-up stay in one thread
03 / Common mistakes
Five mistakes we see most often
Each quietly loses the client, and you never learn why.
Prices on request
Nobody wants to add a contact just to ask a price. Publish the range and note what changes it.
One giant album
Clients want work on hair or nails like theirs. Grouping by service changes the conversion rate.
Uncompressed portfolio photos
Thirty full-size images on one page is a long wait on mobile. Compressed, the difference is invisible.
Phone-only booking
Clients decide at work or on the train, where a call is awkward. A form or LINE booking has to exist.
No service duration
Clients cannot tell how much of the day to set aside, so they hesitate. An estimate per service fixes it.
04 / Which plan fits
What salons usually choose
A small team booking over LINE fits the standard site. Online rotas need the admin.

- HairSalon or BeautySalon structured data for hours, price range and location
- A stable URL per stylist and per service

06 / Launch

08 / FAQ
What salon owners ask first
Want to see the search picture?
Chat on LINESend the shop name and your Instagram. The free website check shows who clients find for your district and service.
Our Instagram portfolio is strong. Why a website?
Instagram builds the portfolio and the following, but prices, service times and booking rules are hard to find in a feed. The site fixes them in place so a new client can decide without asking.
Stylists come and go. Who updates that?
On the standard plan we handle staff changes as maintenance. Where the team changes often, the admin plan lets you add and remove people yourself.
Do we have to publish prices?
Publish a range at least. Clients filter on price, and a salon with none usually gets skipped. A range plus the surcharge rules stays clear and flexible.
Can we take deposits online?
Yes, with the admin plan or a custom build. Deposits cut late cancellations noticeably, as long as the refund rule is published next to them.
How many photos per stylist?
Eight to twelve, grouped by service, works better than fifty in one album. Compress them, because load time shows on mobile.
Where should client data live?
Not in an open spreadsheet or a group chat. State the purpose and retention next to the form and keep the records somewhere with access control.
Where should the first-visit offer go?
In the first screen and again on the price list, with the conditions stated: first visit only, whether it combines with other offers, and when it ends.
Can we reuse the Instagram photos?
Yes, but reselect, regroup and compress them. Dropping the originals straight in makes the page slow.
