9 Best Website Builders for Salons of 2026

GlossGenius is the closest fit for the way most salons actually use a website: clients arrive, look at your work, check the service menu and book. Its booking website builder starts from designer templates, and you change colors, add team member profiles, upload a portfolio gallery and attach images to each service. Because the site runs on the same system as the calendar, prices, durations and open slots update on their own. Deposits, card-on-file rules, cancellation policies and forms are set in the same place, and clients book without an app download or login. GlossGenius also syncs with your Google Business Profile so people can book from Google search and maps, although Google Booking and Reviews are listed on the Gold plan. The limit is scope. You get a booking site, not a full website with a blog, many custom pages or an online shop in the Wix sense. For a stylist or small salon that mainly wants bookings, that is a fair trade at $24 a month billed annually.

Wix is the pick when a salon wants a real website rather than a booking page, with room for a gallery, an about page, a blog, product sales and online booking. Its template library runs past 2,000 designs and includes Beauty & Hair and Health & Wellness categories, so you can start from a layout built for service menus and portfolio images. The drag-and-drop editor gives full control over layout, and the AI builder can produce a first draft from a short prompt. On the Core plan, Wix adds accepting payments, basic ecommerce and scheduling and services, which covers online booking with paid appointments. The free plan is useful for testing, and the cheaper Light plan cannot take payments. The bigger difference from GlossGenius or Vagaro is that Wix is not a salon system: you enter services, staff and hours yourself, and the checkout and client tools are general purpose. For salons that value design freedom, that extra setup is worth it.

Square Appointments is the lowest-cost way to get a working salon booking site. Even the $0 plan lets you create and customize a booking website where clients book around the clock, and you can add a Book Now button, a QR code or an embedded booking widget to another website. For a fuller site, Square Online's website builder also has a free plan, with a choice of a single page or a multi-page site, and it syncs with Square point of sale. Prepayments, reminders and custom schedules color coded by staff or service help keep the book full. The tradeoffs come from Square being a general business platform. Its booking site is more functional than stylish, and portfolio and design control are weaker than on Wix, Squarespace or GlossGenius. Plus at $49 and Premium at $149 per location per month add more booking features, and gift card loads carry a 2.5% fee on Free and Plus. Still, for a new stylist on a tight budget, the free plan is hard to beat.

Squarespace suits salons whose website has to look as considered as the salon itself. Its templates are designed in house, adapt to every screen and are edited in the Fluid Engine drag-and-drop editor, which makes it easy to build a full-bleed gallery, a stylist page and a service menu without code. Booking runs through Acuity Scheduling by Squarespace, which has dedicated pages for hair salons, barbershops, nail studios and makeup artists. Clients can pay at booking or in person through Stripe, Square or PayPal, and salons can collect deposits, accept tips, send invoices and sell packages, subscriptions and gift cards. Automated reminder texts and emails help keep clients on schedule. The downsides are cost and setup. There is no free plan, Acuity is billed on its own plans, and the scheduling tool is less tied to salon payroll, inventory and point of sale than GlossGenius or Vagaro. We could not confirm the USD price from here, so check the pricing page before you choose.

Vagaro is a full salon and spa platform, and its website builder, MySite, is designed to run with little upkeep. MySite syncs your services, staff, prices and online store automatically, so a new service or price change shows on the site as soon as you set it in Vagaro. You choose a template, customize the design, adjust SEO settings and add a portfolio of your work. Beyond the website, Vagaro takes bookings through Google, Apple Maps, Instagram, Alexa and Facebook, offers an embeddable widget for an existing site, and can add a branded app with your salon's name. Vagaro also advertises professional web design services, so the site can be built for you. The tradeoff is breadth. Vagaro covers payments, forms, reports and more, which takes time to set up, and each added bookable calendar costs $10 up to seven licenses. Our pricing page showed pounds, so the USD price is pending here.

Booksy takes a different route from the website builders on this list. Instead of building a site, you set up a Booksy Profile, which Booksy pitches as a professional online presence with no website needed. The profile carries a cover photo, logo and description, your services and prices, live availability, booking and cancellation policies, hours, a portfolio and verified client reviews. Services can include descriptions, photos, bundles and add-ons. The profile is listed on the Booksy Marketplace, which Booksy says 44 million clients use worldwide, and is structured for visibility in Google search. Pricing is simple: $29.99 a month plus tax with all features, $20 for each extra team member and a 14-day trial. The limits are control and ownership. The page lives on Booksy rather than your own domain, design choices are narrow, and clients need to enter and verify their contact details to finish a booking. Many barbers and solo stylists will accept that for the extra exposure.

WordPress.com gives a salon the most room to grow a website over time. It starts with a free plan, and the Personal plan runs $4 a month billed every 12 months, with Premium and Business above it. Higher plans include all premium themes, and WordPress.com lists more than 60,000 plugins in its marketplace, which is where you would add appointment booking, galleries, reviews and forms. The guided builder can draft a site by chatting with AI, and every plan includes unlimited pages, posts, users and visitors, which suits salons that publish hair care guides, color trend posts or local SEO pages. The catch is that WordPress.com is not a salon tool. Online booking is not built in, so you pick a plugin or embed a booking widget from Square, Vagaro or another platform, and the extra settings take longer to learn than GlossGenius or Wix. Check the plan grid to see which tier allows plugin installs before you commit.

Hostinger Website Builder is the budget pick for a salon that wants its own branded site and does not need a full salon system behind it. You describe the business and the AI builder produces a first version, or you start from a ready-made template and edit it. Hostinger lists taking bookings online among its builder's uses, letting customers book and pay online, and hosting is included in the plan. The headline price is $1.99 a month, but that is for a 48-month term paid upfront, and the plan renews at $10.99 a month, so compare total cost over the full term. A 30-day money-back guarantee lowers the risk of trying it. Where Hostinger falls short is depth. It does not have the deposit rules, stylist profiles, service menus synced from a calendar or client records that GlossGenius, Vagaro and Square provide. A salon with a steady book of regular clients may find that enough, while busy multi-stylist salons will want more.

Weebly is a simple drag-and-drop builder owned by Square, and it makes the most sense for salons that already sell through Square. There is a free plan with SSL security, and the Personal plan at $13 a month billed annually or $16 month to month connects a custom domain. Professional runs $15 and Performance $32 a month billed annually. The ecommerce side is broader than you might expect at this price, with a shopping cart, unlimited items, inventory management, in-store pickup, coupons and Square Gift Cards, which suit salons that sell retail hair care or gift cards. What Weebly does not list on its pricing page is a salon booking tool of its own. Instead, every plan allows third-party embed code, so you can drop in a booking widget from Square Appointments or another platform. The free plan shows Square ads, and the design range is narrower than Wix or Squarespace. It is a practical, low-cost choice rather than a showcase site.
