Hi, I'm Mark Cherry, a former corporate IT professional turned successful online entrepreneur. When my daughter Lauren dreamed of building her own hair and beauty salon, she knew she needed a website but didn't like the traditional options. She could use a cheap and nasty template or pay thousands upfront for a custom site, and still be left with the headache of managing her website. Lauren wanted to cut hair and look after clients, not debug code!

My son Sam and I knew we could help Lauren. We had used over 25 years of industry experience building, designing and marketing successful websites to create Green Stripe Media - offering subscription based websites and marketing to small and medium sized businesses.Within a week of launching, ’Lauren Cherry Hair and Beauty' went from an empty booking diary to over 90% full for the first 2 months... using just her website and Facebook marketing, together with online bookings. Lauren continues to enjoy an almost fully booked diary!

Lauren’s salon was such a success that my son Sam and I launched Salon Websites. We help salon owners grow their hair, nail, tanning or massage business with beautiful, custom websites and marketing. We offer a market-leading, affordable subscription service, so you get a beautiful website without spending thousands upfront. And we don't disappear once the website's built! We continue to offer technical support, and custom tailor an online marketing strategy to suit your business goals.

We serve an extensive list of clients in the beauty and personal care sector and we look forward to helping you grow your business.Visit www.salon-websites.co.uk today to view examples of our work and find out more about how to work with us.I have written this guide to share our advice and helpful tips that have helped grow the salons we have helped already.
