Banner ads help beauty salons find new clients. People often see ads online. Ads should be simple. People should immediately understand what you do. State the benefit the client will receive: for example, "3-week manicure" or "50-minute relaxation massage." Add a prominent button: "Book Now" or "Get a discount." Use a realistic photo and simple font. Check how the banner looks on a phone—most people will be surprised by mobile. The key here is what to do and how to get noticed.

Main elements of the banner

Banner size and format

Banner size is important. Here are the most popular formats:

  • 300x250 – suitable for almost all websites, easily visible on phones.

  • 728x90 – a large banner at the top of the page, attracting attention.

  • 160x600 – a narrow vertical banner, useful when there's plenty of vertical space.

Remember: choose the format based on the location where the banner will be displayed.

What types of banners are there?

  • Static – a simple image. Loads quickly and is easy to read.

  • Animated – something moving. More attention-grabbing.

  • Video – a short 5-10 second video. Shows the salon's atmosphere or the service process.

Young people respond better to movement and video. Adults sometimes prefer simple images.

Psychology: Colors, Fonts, Photos

Colors

Colors speak to mood. For example:

  • Blue and green – calm, relaxation.

  • Red and orange – energy, action.

Use your brand color to make yourself memorable.

Fonts

The font should be easy to read. Short headings should be in a large font. Details should be smaller. Avoid using complex, handwritten fonts for important information.

Photos and icons

It's best to include photos of your work: manicures, hairstyling, massages. Professional photos are trusted. If you don't have photos, use high-quality stock images that look authentic.

Element What does it give to the client? A simple advisor
Colors Evoke emotions Use 2-3 brand colors
Fonts It reads better Choose simple fonts without small decorations
Photo Shows the result Show real work or high-quality photos

Where to place elements

  • The logo is noticeable but not too large.

  • The headline is short and focused on the benefit.

  • The CTA (button) is bright and clear: "Sign Up," "Get a Discount."

The CTA should be noticeable because it is the main action you want people to take.

What to write on the banner (content)

Main opinion

Describe what the client will receive. Be brief. For example: "Manicure for 3 weeks" or "Relaxing massage – 50 min."

Call to action

Short phrases work better: "Sign up now," "Promo code until the end of the week." Add a term—it encourages action.

Mobile version

Many people access your site from their phones. Make sure the text is legible on a small screen. The most important information should be immediately visible.

How to find your audience

Who is your client?

Think about who comes to you more often:

  • Women 25-45;

  • Young men 18-25;

  • Gentle men.

For each group, develop your own approach: language, photos, platforms.

Where to look for them

  • For young people – TikTok, Instagram.

  • For adults – Facebook, Google Ads.

  • Don't forget about local social media groups and Google Maps .

Ask your salon clients how they heard about you. This will help you better target your advertising.

How to measure whether advertising is working

Key indicators

  • CTR – how many people clicked on the banner.

  • Conversions – how many people signed up or left contact information.

The CTR will show whether the banner attracted attention. Conversion will show whether the banner actually brings in customers.

A/B testing

Create two versions of the banner. Change one thing: the button color or the text. See which version performs better. This way, you'll find the most effective version.

What to do with the data

Analyze: if something isn't working, change it. If it is, do more of the same. Small adjustments often yield big results.

Current trends (understood by 2025)

  • Short videos (5-10 seconds) in banners attract attention.

  • Interactive – for example, choosing a hair color or style in a banner.

  • Personalization – the banner changes according to the user's interests or location.

  • Ethics and ecology – customers appreciate it if you use safe materials and this is reflected in your advertising.

Simple banner phrase examples

  • "Manicure + design – from 350 UAH. Book today."

  • "Relaxing massage 50 min – first treatment 20% off."

  • "Special offer: Hair coloring – discount until the end of the week."

Short and specific phrases work better than long descriptive texts.
