What to show on beauty salon screens to sell more services

It's not a poster: it's a sales tool inside the salon

Many salons install a screen and use it to repeat what a poster already says: opening hours, promotions or decorative photos. The result is just another element in the premises, but not a sales tool. A digital screen in a beauty salon can fulfil very different functions during the visit: informing about services and prices, giving visibility to a specific treatment or presenting a package that combines several services. In this article you will see how to make the most of these three functions with concrete examples, without turning the screen into a constant advertising display.

Three functions of a screen in the beauty salon

Not everything that appears on the screen should be a promotion. In fact, when everything is presented as an offer, the client stops paying attention. The screen works best when it accompanies the moment: while waiting, she can consult the services menu; while making a decision, she can see a highlighted treatment; when at the till, she can discover a complete package. This does not mean giving up on selling, but understanding that informing and highlighting also sell, each in its own way. The balance between useful content and commercial proposals is what turns the screen into part of the salon experience.

Informing: the basis for a quick visual consultation

The most basic and necessary function is to inform. A screen can display the list of services and prices visually, with large, easy-to-read text from the waiting area. This avoids the receptionist repeating prices over and over again and gives the client confidence: she sees at a glance what is available and how much it costs. For example, a screen can alternate between Haircut (€25), Colouring (€45), Manicure (€22) and Facial treatment (€39), with a clean, uncluttered design. The key is to present the information as a menu, not as a hidden price list. When the client understands the offer, it is easier for her to ask about or book an additional service.

Highlighting: giving visibility to a specific treatment

In addition to informing, the screen can focus attention on a specific service. It's not about offering a discount, but about giving prominence to a treatment you want to promote at a given moment. For example, if you have a Hydrating facial treatment at €39, you can dedicate a full screen to it with an evocative image and its price visible. This type of content works well when the client is relaxed and receptive, such as while waiting or after a service. By highlighting a single service, the screen acts as a visual recommender: without pressure, the client keeps it in mind for her next visit.

Selling: presenting a package without the need for discounts

The third function is to present a package that combines several services. You don't need to resort to aggressive discounts to make a package attractive: sometimes the convenience of having two services together and a clear price is enough. For example, a Pack Beauty that includes Manicure and Facial treatment for €55 offers a complete, easy-to-understand experience. The screen can show what the package includes and its price, with no promises of savings or small print. This type of content is especially useful near reception or in the payment area, where the client is already thinking about her next visit.

A practical project: informing, highlighting and selling on three screens

Keys to apply in any salon

These three uses — informing, highlighting and selling — can be applied in any salon. Some keys to make them work: keep a clear visual hierarchy, so that the main message is understood in seconds; alternate informative and commercial content to avoid saturation; use images consistent with the salon's aesthetics; and, above all, update the content frequently. A screen with outdated information loses credibility. If you prepare a selection of services, a highlighted treatment and a package, you already have a complete screen cycle that you can adapt every week.

Updating screens without complications

Updating this content shouldn't be a complicated design job. With iMediaGO you can create, organise and publish your salon's screens from a single place, without depending on a designer for every change. The same screen that shows the services menu today can tomorrow show a highlighted treatment or a package, just by updating the content. In this way, the screen stops being a static element and becomes a communication resource that evolves with your business.
