How Much Should a Salon Website Cost?
Salons have specific needs from a website: treatments, prices, a gallery of your work, and an easy way to book. Here is what that should reasonably cost, and where the money actually goes.
What a salon website typically costs
As with any small business site, prices vary widely and no one can promise an exact figure without knowing what you need, but broadly:
- DIY builder: £0–£20/month, plus your own time writing treatment lists and sourcing photos.
- Freelancer, one-off build: often £400–£1,500 for a salon site with a gallery and booking link, then hosting and updates are usually on you.
- Managed plan: one monthly fee covering the build, hosting and ongoing updates together.
Use the website cost calculator for a rough range based on what your salon specifically needs.
What drives the price for a salon
A few things push a salon quote up or down: how many treatments and price bands you offer, whether you need a photo gallery, whether you want online booking built in versus linking out to a booking tool you already use, and how often your price list changes. A salon with a long, frequently changing menu of services costs more to keep updated than one with a simple, stable price list.
What a salon website should include
Whatever you spend, aim to cover the essentials: your treatments and prices, a small gallery of your work, genuine reviews, your address and opening hours, and a clear way to book. Our guide on what a salon website should include goes through this in more detail, and the price list maker is a quick way to get your treatments and prices into a clean, shareable format before you even build the site.
Where to save, and where not to
It is tempting to cut corners on photos, but for a salon they matter more than almost anything else on the page: they are the reason people book. Spend your budget there before anything else. Where you can reasonably save is on extras like a blog or a members' area, which most salons never actually need on day one.
A managed salon website
LaunchSite builds and manages one-page salon websites for £39.99/month on a 24-month plan, with no upfront build fee. That includes the build, hosting, SSL, a standard domain, email forwarding and monthly updates, so when your prices or treatments change, you send us the update rather than editing the site yourself. Your first draft arrives within 3 working days of completed onboarding. See our beauty demo for a sense of what a salon site can look like.
