Marketing
No ads, no problem — let your salon shine!
Who says only big salons with huge budgets can do marketing? With just a bit of creativity and zero paid ads, your small salon can attract attention, build loyalty, and grow — all without breaking the bank.
Here are 5 smart and budget-friendly marketing ideas to help you do just that 👇
Set up a small area with natural lighting, a clean background, and your logo.
Why? Every customer becomes a brand ambassador when they post a cute “just got my hair done” pic!
Pro Tip: Add a unique hashtag like #HairByLunaStudio to build visibility over time.
“Bring a friend and you both get RM5 off”
Combine it with a simple loyalty card to boost the customer return rate.
One local salon grew its customer base by over 50 people in 2 months using this strategy!
Summer Haircut Festival / 🎃 Spooky Style Week / 💖 Couple Hair Day
Wrap your regular service in a fun, seasonal theme to spark interest and get people talking.
Fun + FOMO = fully booked weekends!
📷 With customer consent, post before-and-after photos of haircuts or facial treatments.
No filters, no models — real transformations sell better than ads.
Authenticity is the new influence. Show it off.
Set up quick replies on WhatsApp Business for appointments.
After treatment, send a friendly follow-up like:
“Thanks for visiting! Love your new look? Leave us a review 😊”
Consistent communication = better reviews = more trust = more customers.
