This page is for barbers, hairdressers and small salons that live off repeat customers, walk ins and people recommending you by name. You already care about the details in the chair. This is about bringing that standard to your online setup without turning it into another full time job.
The goal is simple. When someone hears about your barbershop or salon and searches for you, they find a clean site, clear opening times, prices and booking info. They can see how to book or get in touch without digging through old posts, dead links or guesswork.
If you run a unisex salon, a grooming studio, a one chair setup or a mobile barbering or hairdressing service, this still applies. The work is tuned to small, reputation driven shops that want to look like a proper business, not a side project.
You can also see the broader overview on the sole traders page or browse other sectors Ki-Ki supports.
The way you run appointments, keep time, look after regulars and welcome new people already says a lot about you. Your online setup should match that standard. No broken links in your bio, no personal email that looks like a leftover account, no mystery booking pages that feel risky to use.
Ki-Ki focuses on the boring but important pieces. Domain, website, email and Cloudflare in front. You end up with something that feels calm and dependable, even if you are still one person with a chair, clippers and a full column of clients.
Most barbers and hairdressers did not sign up to manage a tech stack. You wanted to cut hair well, keep people coming back and get paid on time. These are the issues that show up again and again when I look at barbershops and hair salons online.
Your clients are used to checking Instagram, so it feels enough. The problem comes when people want opening times, parking info, price lists or colour policies and there is nowhere stable to read it. If your last post is months old, it can even make the shop look closed.
You juggle messages across WhatsApp, Messenger, Instagram and maybe a booking app you are not completely sold on. It works until you get busy. Then it turns into no shows, double bookings and people who claim they messaged when you never saw it.
Maybe the site came as part of a cheap package, a favour from a mate or an old landlord deal. Nobody is quite sure where the domain is registered, which address is official or how to get help when it breaks. If that person disappears, your whole online presence feels fragile.
Some shops have a site that was thrown together years ago. Old price lists, stylists who have moved on, dead galleries and no mention of how you actually run things now. It does not help someone choose you over another barbershop or salon down the road.
The work is not about making you look like a national chain. It is about making the real version of your shop or salon easier to find, easier to contact and easier to trust for new and returning clients.
You get a domain that matches your barbershop or salon name, set up in your name with clean DNS records and simple email addresses. For example info@, bookings@ or your own name, instead of a free webmail address that looks temporary.
The site covers what you do, where you are, when you are open, how booking works, what it costs and any house rules. Cuts, colour, styling, skin fades, walk ins, patch tests and cancellation policies can all be written down clearly, so you are not repeating the same information in DMs all week.
Whether you use a booking app, walk ins only or a mix, the site explains it in plain English. People know if they should book online, message, call or just turn up. That reduces confused messages and helps you keep control of your day.
Cloudflare sits in front of the site, HTTPS is enforced and email is set up with SPF, DKIM and DMARC so it is harder for scammers to pretend to be you. You do not have to think about it every week. You just know the basics are covered.
You see which pages people visit, how they found you and what they click. It is enough to know if people are using the site the way you expect. No creepy tracking profiles, no advertising dashboards, no junk you do not need.
You get a short plain language overview of your setup. If you bring in staff, move premises, change accountants or hire another web person later, you already have a map instead of a collection of half remembered logins.
You keep the parts that work. Instagram, TikTok and your booking tool are not the enemy. The difference is that they plug into a small, solid site that you control. When a platform changes its rules, you still have a stable place people can search, read and trust.
We look at what is there, keep anything that still represents you and rebuild the rest on a cleaner foundation. Sometimes that means a full rebuild. Sometimes it means tightening the content, sorting email and hardening the security around it so it is less of a worry.
First contact is simple. You send a short outline of your barbershop or salon, how you work now and what feels messy or fragile. I give you a straight answer on whether Ki-Ki is a good match, what I would tackle first and what it is likely to cost.
There is no hard sell. If it is not a fit, I will say so. If it is, we can move at a pace that respects the fact you still have a full day on the floor cutting hair.
