✂️ Hair salon & barber: post ideas for your socials
For a hair salon or barber, the before / after is king: it proves your skill in three seconds. Add your team's faces and your free slots, and your account becomes a real booking tool.
The right pace: 3 posts a week (at least one before / after) and a “free slots” Story on Mondays and Thursdays.
