Top marketing tips for growing your barbering business

Define and understand your brand

First of all, ensure that you have a clear understanding of your barbershop's brand identity. If you know what you are aiming for - awesome. If unsure, start with determining the vibe, style, and values you want to convey through your visuals. Will you get a classic, modern, retro, or trendy look? 

On our website, we offer a wide range of beauty salon images that are both high-resolution and visually appealing. Please check the barbershop collection or use convenient filters to search for images that align with your preference. No need to rush and buy now; save them and decide later! Ideally, get a mix to showcase your barbershop's interior, exterior, staff, and services and focus on satisfied customers.

Upgrade your website

If you already have a website, it's time to give it a trendy retouch. You may want to create a visual story that entices potential customers to step into your shop. The areas to consider:

  • Changing the background to a new and trendy one;
  • Adding and updating a website's menu;
  • Ensuring there is a booking system in place and all contacts are updated;
  • Showcasing interior decor, comfortable waiting area, and clean, well-organized stations;
  • Adding a gallery of services and happy-to-serve staff;
  • A dedicated section for haircuts, shaves, beard trims, styling, grooming sessions, and information on instruments, techniques, and disinfection;
  • Reviews, so your customers trust and select you from other businesses.

It would be great to introduce your barbers and highlight their expertise. Add captions that demonstrate their experience, what they are best at, and their personalities.

Incorporate shots of satisfied clients enjoying their new looks, engaging in conversation, and leaving with smiles. These pictures will enhance the sense of community and satisfaction.

There is a vast collection of high-quality barbershop and hairstylist photos, so find the items that match your vision to make your project catchy.

Post regularly. Tell stories about your shop, staff, services, and customers to become closer to your customers. You may either post new items using the photos from our barbershop collection or repost the older ones if they generated a high number of positive reactions before. Engage with your audience, and give your followers fresh and fascinating stuff. Create your own cozy atmosphere, so people will know where the best barbers are!
