Content calendar guide

Social media content calendar for a hair salon

A salon's best content is already happening in the chair. The plan below turns each week's work into five posts without adding a filming day, and it puts booking links where people can actually reach them.

Platforms
Instagram first, TikTok second. Facebook for local bookings.
Cadence
Five posts a week, all shot between appointments.

The 7-day calendar

Monday

Instagram · Customer proof

One before-and-after, with the reasoning

Grown-out box dye to a soft lived-in blonde in one sitting. Three hours, two rounds of lightener, and a toner chosen to keep her natural warmth instead of fighting it. Swipe for the before.

Tuesday

TikTok · Process

A 20-second clip of the technique

Watch the section pattern, not the colour. This is why the regrowth will still look intentional in ten weeks.

Wednesday

Instagram · Useful tip

The home-care mistake you see weekly

Washing blonde hair with hot water is why your toner disappears in three weeks. Lukewarm, and skip the purple shampoo more than once a week. It is a toner, not a treatment.

Thursday

Facebook · Availability

Real gaps in this week's book

Two cancellations for Friday: 11:00 and 15:30, cut and finish. First to message gets them, and the booking link is in the comments.

Friday

Instagram · Price clarity

What a service actually includes

A balayage here is a consultation, the lightening, a bespoke toner, a treatment, and the cut and finish. That is why we quote a range and not a single number. Ask us before you book, always.

Saturday

Instagram · Behind the scenes

The busiest hour, sped up

Saturday, 11am, three chairs full and one kettle. This is our favourite hour of the week.

Sunday

Instagram · Conversation

This or that using two of your own results

Autumn is coming: copper or cool brunette? Vote in the comments and we will bring the winner back as a Sunday offer.

Four things that make this work

Common questions

What should a hair salon post on social media?
Before-and-afters, short technique clips, home-care tips, this week's availability, and honest pricing. Those five rotate into a full week and all come out of work you are already doing.
How do salons get more bookings from Instagram?
Post real availability with a link, not just finished results. A gap-filling post on Thursday converts far better than another portfolio photo.
Should a salon be on TikTok?
Only if someone on the team enjoys filming. One 20-second technique clip a week is enough to matter; a reluctant account posting monthly is not.
