Virtual tours for hair salons
The first appointment is booked on the room.
A new client choosing a salon is trusting a stranger with how they look for the next six weeks. Almost nothing on a typical salon website addresses that anxiety, and a tour addresses all of it.
- Convert nervous first-time clients who need reassurance
- Show the standard of the space, not just the work
- Appear on Google Maps at the moment of local search
- Link your booking system inside the tour
Why it works for this sector
What a nervous first-timer wants to see is not your portfolio, it is the room: the chairs, the basins, whether it is clean, whether it looks like somewhere they will feel comfortable rather than judged. A tour shows exactly that, at eleven at night when they are actually deciding.
Salon searches happen overwhelmingly on Google Maps, and a Google virtual tour sits on your Business Profile at the moment someone searches for a salon nearby. As a one-time cost with no hosting fee, it works out cheaper than a fortnight of paid ads.
How big a tour do you need?
Most salons fit our Small tier at £525, captured in a couple of hours before opening.
Every tour is priced on scenes, not square footage.

Hair Salons virtual tours - your questions answered
When would you shoot?
Before opening or on a closure day, so the salon is pristine and no clients are in frame. Most salons are captured in two to three hours.
Will our stylists appear in the tour?
Only if you want them to, and only with written consent. Most salons prefer a clean, empty capture so the focus stays on the space.
How much does a hair salon tour cost?
From £525 for up to 10 scenes covering reception, the styling floor, wash stations and treatment rooms. All prices are plus VAT.
How long does it take from shoot to live?
Between 4 and 10 working days from shoot to live, depending on the size of the job.
What are your payment terms?
A 50% deposit secures your date and is due no later than two weeks before the shoot. 25% is payable once the shoot is complete, and the final 25% on delivery and sign-off, at which point the tour and any photography or video assets are sent to you.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included free within London Zones 1 to 4. Anywhere else is priced by mileage or by mode of transport, and it is set out in your quote before you commit.
Are your prices inclusive of VAT?
All prices are plus VAT. Your written quote always shows the VAT separately, so there are no surprises at invoice.
Who owns the finished tour and images?
We retain copyright of the finished work, and you receive a lifetime licence to use it however you like: your website, listings, social channels, print and advertising.

- 032 to 8 hours
Shoot day
Between 2 and 8 hours on site depending on the size of the space, planned around your opening and trading hours. We have shot entire retail estates without costing a single trading hour, so working around you is normal rather than exceptional.

Stitching and post-production
Every panorama is stitched, levelled and colour corrected, then built into a tour that matches the layout of your space. If you have commissioned an enhanced tour, this is where the hotspots, menus and calls to action are added.

Live and signed off
Between 4 and 10 working days from shoot to live, depending on the size of the job. Google tours then go through Google's own quality control, which usually takes 24 to 48 hours. Once you have signed off, the final payment is due and everything is sent over.
