Hair salon
Maison Lune Salon
A fine serif, a photo of the chairs and mirrors, and 'Book an Appointment' twice in the first screen, for the boutique salon that sells calm.
Done by AI · not an agency
Salon website design by AI, for hair, nail and beauty salons.
Brief Zarla the way you'd brief a web designer. Its AI designs your site in about 30 seconds, with booking buttons and a request form, then adds pages for the services and neighborhoods you list, up to your plan's page limit. No sales call, no weeks-long build.
Your brief: add your town

Sample designs
Looks like a $5,000 agency website. Judge for yourself.
Six Zarla designs, shown for made-up salons, from a color studio to a men's grooming lounge. Start from one and the AI rewrites it around yours, or let your brief decide.
Color studio
Solstice Color Studio
A full-width photo of sun-lit hair with 'Sun-Kissed, Never Brassy' over it and master colorists in the top strip, for the studio that does one thing.
Nail salon
Petal & Polish Nail Bar
Hot pink, a close-up of painted nails and 'walk-ins welcome' under the buttons, for the nail bar that wants to feel like a treat.
Men's grooming
Blackwood Men's Grooming
A dark lounge photo, gold type and 'open late, 6 days a week' under the buttons, for the barbershop that calls itself a lounge.
Bridal
Belle & Vow Bridal Beauty
A bride in soft light beside a tall serif headline and 'Check Your Date' as the main button, for the on-location bridal team.
Luxury
Verel Salon
Black and gold with the rating in the top strip and again under the hero, for the flagship salon that charges for unhurried time.
The checklist
What every salon website needs
Six things a salon website needs to fill the chair, each shown on one of Zarla's designs.
- 01
A quote form for color, extensions and bridal work
Most services have a price; corrections, extensions, wigs and wedding parties get a consultation. A form that asks what the client wants done gets the consultation booked without a phone call.
- 02
Book as the first button, everywhere
A salon website has one job: the appointment. Put 'Book' in the header and under the headline, with the phone number beneath for the client who'd rather call.
- 03
Your rating before the first scroll
Clients choose a salon on reviews. The score and the count in the top strip answer 'is it good?' before they read a word about your stylists.
- 04
Your specialty in the headline
'Balayage in Santa Barbara' wins the client searching for balayage over the salon that lists everything. Say the one thing you want to be known for, with the town.
- 05
A service menu one tap away
Clients want to see the menu and the work before they book. A second button to the services or the gallery, right beside Book, gets them there without hunting the navigation.
- 06
A date check for event work
Bridal and event clients have one question: are you free on the date? Make the date the main button, and put your years and the number of weddings beside it.
Process and turnaround
How it works, and how long each step takes
For comparison, from the pages of web designers who build salon sites: within 10 business days at a salon software company, typically 1–2 weeks at a salon website subscription, 20 to 60 days at a salon-only website shop depending on the package, and 6–12 weeks for a custom agency build.
- About a minute
1. The brief
Finish one sentence about your salon: the services you do and where.
- About 30 seconds
2. First design
Zarla's AI designs your home page with call buttons and a quote form, then adds pages for your services (cuts, color, nails, bridal) and the neighborhoods you serve, up to your plan's page limit.
- As long as you like
3. Change it
Click any section to swap in photos of your own work. Or type it: "add a page for balayage."
- The same day
4. Launch
Publish on a Premium or Business plan and connect your domain.
What's included
What you get from your first brief
- The design. Layout, colors, fonts and photos picked for a salon.
- The words. Headlines, service descriptions and FAQs written from your brief. Edit any of it.
- Service and area pages. Pages for each service (cuts, color, extensions, nails, bridal) and the areas you serve.
- Quote request form. A client says what they want done and when, and it lands in your leads inbox, with an email alert. Customers can attach up to five photos of the job to the form, so you can often price it from the photos instead of a site visit. The form doesn't work out a price for you — you read the request and quote it yourself. Then send your quote from Zarla as one link: the customer accepts it online, and Zarla drafts the invoice for what they chose.
- Tap-to-call buttons. On every page, for the client who'd rather ask about a color correction out loud.
- Google groundwork. Titles, descriptions, business markup and a sitemap on every page, and fast pages on phones.
- Your Google reviews and listing. Connect your Business Profile and your rating, reviews and map show on the site.
- Hosting on Google Cloud, with SSL. Nothing to set up.Premium
- Your own domain. Connect the one you have or buy one inside Zarla.Premium

The honest part
What an agency does that Zarla doesn't
Zarla does the design part of an agency's job with AI. Here's what you'd still be paying people for.
- A strategy call about your market and your competitors
- Original photos of your team, vans and jobs. Zarla uses your photos or stock.
- Copy written from interviewing you. Zarla writes from your brief, and you edit it.
- Monthly SEO campaigns, link building and ranking reports
- Running your Google Ads and Local Services Ads
- One named person accountable, on the phone
- Custom features beyond Zarla's sections
Want a person for those parts?
Zarla partners are independent agencies and freelancers who build on Zarla and do the marketing work: SEO, ads and growth. The AI does the design; a person does the rest.
Browse Zarla partners →Questions salon businesses ask
Is Zarla a web design agency?
No. Zarla is AI. It does the design part of an agency's job, the layout, words, pages and forms, from a one-sentence brief. There's no designer on the other end. If you want a person for marketing or SEO, Zarla partners are independent agencies and freelancers who work on Zarla sites.
How much does salon website design cost?
Web designers who publish prices for salon sites charge $199 to $1,899 to set up with $29 to $99 a month, $475 to $950 and up for a one-time build, or $249 to $949 a month for a managed salon site. Designing and previewing on Zarla is free; you choose a Premium or Business plan when you publish.
What should a salon website have?
A booking button in the header and the first screen, your service menu with prices, photos of your work, a page for each main service (cuts, color, extensions, nails, bridal), your stylists, your hours and location, and your reviews. In the US, cosmetology and barber licensing is run by each state; show your salon license where your state requires it, and check with your state board of cosmetology. Zarla adds service and area pages from your brief, up to your plan's page limit. Customers can attach up to five photos of the job to the form, so you can often price it from the photos instead of a site visit. The form doesn't work out a price for you — you read the request and quote it yourself.
How long does a salon website take?
Web designers who publish timelines quote within 10 business days at a salon software company, 1–2 weeks at a salon website subscription, and 20 to 60 days at a salon-only website shop depending on the package. Zarla's first design takes about 30 seconds; after your changes, you can publish the same day on a paid plan.
Can clients book appointments online?
Yes. Zarla's online booking lets clients pick a time on your website; bookings sync to Google Calendar, and you can take a deposit or full payment through your own Stripe account, which cuts the no-shows on long color appointments.
Can I show before-and-after photos of color work?
Yes. Switch a photo gallery to its before-and-after layout and your own photos of color corrections, balayage and extensions show in one frame with a handle visitors drag. A brassy-to-blonde correction in one frame sells the next color appointment better than any description.
I already have a salon website. Can I move it?
Yes. Zarla keeps your old page addresses where it can and redirects the ones that change, helping you keep the Google standing you've built.
Before you spend $5,000 on a website and SEO agency, give Zarla 30 seconds.
