Sound familiar?

I'm booked solid one week and chasing clients the next.

I photograph every set of nails and never get around to posting them.

Writing captions after a full day of appointments is the last thing I want to do.

My page looks nice, but it doesn't turn into bookings.

I never know what to post about skin without overpromising.

Every empty appointment is income you never get back. The salon down the road isn't always better than you. They're just posting more often, so they're the one locals think of when it's time to book. A social media manager costs A$1,500–A$5,000 a month.

You already make beautiful work every day: fresh sets, lash lifts, brow shapes and calm, careful treatments. What's missing is the time to turn that work into a steady run of posts that point people to your booking link.

Why it works

More enquiries, less effort, starting this week

The result

Bookings, not just likes

Every post ends with a clear way to book, so your feed works on the quiet weeks.

Why it works

Your real work, your voice

Built from your own photos, with captions in your voice. No stock models and no overpromising.

How fast

Your month planned before it starts

Mother's Day vouchers, spring racing, formals and the Christmas rush are already in your plan.

How easy

Approve between clients

Tick posts on your phone. Nothing goes out without your OK.

How Vera’s Studio works for beauty salons

  1. Set up your brain once

    Tell Vera's Studio who you help, what you offer, how you talk and what you'll never say. Paste your website and it fills in most of it for you.

  2. Get your 30-day plan

    A month of posts mapped to your calendar, each with a hook, a format and the reason it's there. Swap anything you don't like.

  3. Approve and it posts

    Finished carousels, image posts and short videos, ready to tick. Approved posts publish straight to your accounts. No downloading.

Built for how beauty salons work

Planned around your busy seasons

Your plan books people in before the rushes: Valentine's Day, Mother's Day gift vouchers in May, spring racing and Melbourne Cup, formals, weddings and the Christmas party season. It fills the quiet weeks with rebooking reminders.

Made from your real work

Upload photos of your nails, lashes and brows, and Vera's Studio builds the posts and Reels around them. No stock models.

Skin posts stay honest

Skin posts explain the treatment, who it suits and the aftercare. They don't show before-and-after results or promise outcomes.

Client consent built in

A consent reminder sits on every post that shows a client, so you only post people who've said yes.

Which social media is best for beauty salons?

Instagram is the main platform for most beauty businesses, because it's built for showing close-up work, and Reels reach new local clients. Facebook is still useful for gift vouchers, promotions and older clients. Many salons post to both from one plan. Vera's Studio publishes to Instagram and Facebook together.

Questions beauty salons ask about social media

Which social media is best for beauty salons?

Instagram is the main platform for most beauty businesses, because it's built for showing close-up work, and Reels reach new local clients. Facebook is still useful for gift vouchers, promotions and older clients. Many salons post to both from one plan. Vera's Studio publishes to Instagram and Facebook together.

What should beauty salons post on social media?

Close-ups of your work, short Reels of the process, aftercare tips, last-minute openings, gift voucher reminders and posts that introduce your team. Vera's Studio plans that mix around your busy and quiet times.

How do I get more clients for my beauty business?

Make it easy to find you, easy to trust you and easy to book. Regular posts of your real work do the first two, and a booking link on every post does the third.

What should I write in my beauty salon's captions?

Say what was done, who it suits, how to look after it and how to book. Keep it short and in your own voice. Vera's Studio writes three caption options for every post, so you just pick one.

Can I post before-and-after photos of skin treatments?

Be careful. Before-and-after photos of skin treatments can read as a promise of results, and cosmetic procedures done by registered health practitioners fall under AHPRA advertising rules. Posts that explain the treatment, the aftercare and who it suits are a safer choice. This is general information, not legal advice.

What should nail techs and lash artists post?

Close-ups of finished sets, short Reels of the process, aftercare tips, last-minute openings and posts that introduce you. Always ask the client before you post their photo.

How often should a beauty salon post on social media?

Three to four posts a week on one or two platforms is enough for most small beauty salons. Posting steadily every week matters more than posting a lot in a burst. The 30-day plan in Vera's Studio spaces your posts out for you, so the month is covered before it starts.

How much does social media management cost in Australia?

Freelance social media managers in Australia typically charge A$22–A$110 an hour, and monthly management retainers usually run A$1,500–A$5,000 a month. Vera's Studio starts at A$97 + GST, your first 3 images are free, and you approve every post yourself.

Can I use AI to write my business's social media posts?

Yes, as long as the AI knows your business and you check each post before it goes out. Vera's Studio starts from a brain you fill in once with your services, clients and tone of voice, so posts sound like you rather than a generic template. Nothing publishes until you approve it.

Do I need to be good with technology?

No. If you can fill in a form and tick a box, you can run Vera's Studio. Most people set up their brain in one sitting and have their first month planned the same day.
