A salon price list clients understand at a glance
Clients hate surprise prices, and a messy price list leads to awkward chats at the till. This prompt turns your services into a clean salon price list: grouped categories, prices by hair length or stylist level, add-ons and your booking policies, designed as a printable A4 PDF and a square image for Instagram.
The prompt
- Create a price list for [SALON NAME], a [TYPE OF SALON] in [CITY]. Services and prices: [SERVICES AND PRICES]. Group them into clear categories (for example cuts, color, treatments, styling, extras). Show "from" prices where the price depends on length or stylist level, and explain those levels in one line. Add short descriptions (under 12 words) only where a service name isn't obvious, like balayage or a gloss. Add a policies box with: [YOUR POLICIES]. Style: [STYLE AND COLORS], our logo is attached. Make an A4 PDF for print, a 1080x1350 PNG for Instagram, and a Word version I can edit. Check that every price I gave appears exactly once and list any service that seems to be missing for a salon like mine.
What to change
- [SALON NAME]: E.g. "Studio Lumi". Attach your logo to the message if you have one.
- [TYPE OF SALON]: E.g. "hair salon", "nail studio", "barbershop", "beauty and lash bar".
- [CITY]: Your town, used in the footer with your address.
- [SERVICES AND PRICES]: Paste your list, or attach a photo of your current board or booking app export.
- [YOUR POLICIES]: E.g. "24-hour cancellation, 50% charge for no-shows, patch test 48 h before color".
- [STYLE AND COLORS]: E.g. "minimal, cream and black", "soft pink and gold". Or "match my Instagram".

Tips for a better result
- Use stylist levels or "from" prices instead of one fixed number for color. It saves arguments at checkout.
- Keep descriptions for trendy or confusing services only. Clients know what a men's cut is.
- Put your cancellation and patch-test rules on the list itself, not just on the booking site.
- Check prices of 3 to 5 nearby salons before a price rise. Your agent can research them with links.
salon price list: FAQ
- Should a salon price list show exact prices? Show exact prices for simple services and "from" prices for anything that depends on length, thickness or time. Say that the final price is confirmed at consultation.
- How do I price services by stylist level? Many salons use two or three levels (for example stylist, senior, director) with a set step between them. Explain the levels in one line at the top of the list.
- Can I edit the price list later? Yes. You get a Word file to edit yourself, or you can send new prices to your agent and get updated PDF and image files.
- Can it check what other salons charge? Your agent can search public price lists of salons near you and summarize them with links. Prices online may be out of date, so treat them as a guide.
