A Salon Website: Simple Rules for Color, Type, and Spacing

Set a few rules before decorating

A salon website may need to show service photos, prices, and booking instructions together. Instead of styling every element separately, decide on a few rules to reuse across the site. This makes the overall look easier to manage for a beginner. Write down three words that describe the mood you want—for example, “calm, warm, and neat.” Use those words as a reference when choosing colors and fonts rather than making each choice in isolation.

Begin with one main color and one accent color, and use white or a light neutral for the background. Apply the main color to headings or prominent elements, and reserve the accent color for limited, high-attention uses such as the booking button. Start with no more than two fonts: one for body text and one for headings. Check that both remain easy to read on a phone. Establish a clear order for headings, body text, and supporting notes, without giving every line a different style.

Make spacing consistent through repetition

A page can look disorganized when every section has a different, arbitrary gap. Choose a small set of spacing levels for headings and text, photos and captions, and the space between sections. Apply the same rule to similar elements. Rather than crowding photos, copy, and buttons into one screen, decide what visitors should see first and leave some open space around it. Review the page on a phone as well as on a desktop: check that headings are not cut off, buttons are easy to tap, and photos do not become too small.

Hypothetical example: Ongyeol Hair, before and after

Before the changes, the hypothetical salon “Ongyeol Hair” uses pink, purple, and gold differently on different pages. Its headings and price list use three unrelated fonts. Booking instructions appear in small text beneath a photo, while inconsistent gaps make the page difficult to scan.

After the changes, the salon uses a warm ivory background, dark brown as its main color, and a muted green only for the booking button. It limits headings to one font and body copy to another legible font, and gives the price list and service descriptions a consistent text hierarchy. The first screen prioritizes a photo showing the salon’s atmosphere, key service information, and how to book. Sections follow the same spacing rules. These changes do not guarantee more bookings, but they can make information and the next action easier to find.

Before-and-after checklist and next step

• Have you written three words that describe the salon’s intended mood?

• Have you chosen a main color, an accent color, and fonts for headings and body text?

• Are prices, service details, opening hours, contact information, and booking instructions accurate?

• Have you checked text, photos, buttons, and spacing on a phone?
