Beauty specialist profile on Websta: what to include in Greece

What sections to include in your Websta profile

Your profile page acts as a simplified website. Start with a clear description of what you offer - for example, hair cutting and styling, nail services, makeup application, or skin treatments. Be specific about the services you actually provide, because people search by service type.

Add a photo of yourself or your workspace. Clients in Greece look at images before contacting a provider. If you do beauty work, include before-and-after photos of your clients' hair, nails, makeup or skin, with their permission. Avoid stock photos; real work builds trust.

Set your location to the town or area where you work. Websta shows profiles to people searching within that location. If you work in multiple towns, you can cover that in your description or by being clear about where you meet clients.

Add a phone number and email so people can reach you directly. The contact form on your profile lets clients send a message. You can also set up online booking if you want clients to reserve time slots without messaging back and forth.

Services and pricing to list

Write down each service you offer as a separate item - cutting, coloring, perms, styling, nail design, gel extensions, waxing, facials, or whatever applies to your work. If you charge different prices for different lengths of hair, different nail designs, or different skin conditions, you can show those variations. Keep descriptions short and clear.

You set your own prices. Websta does not set pricing for you. Decide what you charge and enter it on your profile. Clients see the price before they contact you or book.

Languages to use in your profile

Write your profile in Greek. Most people searching for beauty services in Greece use Greek. If you speak English well and want to attract tourists or expat clients, add an English version of your main description and key services. Some beauty specialists in Greece work with both local and international clients, so bilingual profiles can help, but Greek should be primary.

Keep text clear and direct. Clients are looking for what you do and how to reach you, not long explanations.

How people in Greece find beauty specialists on Websta

Websta has a marketplace for the beauty category in Greece. People nearby search by service type - for example, hairdresser, nail technician, or makeup artist - and by location. When someone searches for 'hairdresser Athens' or 'nail salon Thessaloniki', profiles that match that service and town appear in results.

People can also post a task describing what they need - for instance, 'I need a cut and color before Saturday' - and providers can submit offers. This works if you are available to respond quickly and want to bid on specific jobs.

Your profile appears in search results when your service and location match what someone is looking for. The more complete your profile - services listed, photos included, location set - the better it shows up.

What to check as an independent provider in Greece

Work as a beauty specialist in Greece depends on your employment status. If you are self-employed, you need to be registered with the tax authority and typically with social insurance. If you work as an employee in a salon, your employer handles registration. Check with your local tax office or chamber of commerce about what you need to register.

If you work from home, check local zoning rules. Some municipalities restrict business operations from residential addresses; others allow it. Your municipality's website or a call to the local authority will confirm.

Payment through Websta uses Stripe, which transfers money to your bank account. You will need a Greek bank account and to declare income according to Greek tax rules. Websta handles the payment processing, but you are responsible for reporting income to the tax authority.

Professional liability and public liability insurance vary by service type. Hairdressers and aestheticians may need insurance; check with your insurance provider or professional association what is standard in your field.

What to write in your first hour

Start by writing a one-sentence description of what you do: 'Hair cutting, coloring and styling for men and women' or 'Gel nails and nail art'. Be specific enough that someone knows what service you offer.

List your main services - the five to ten things you do most often. Write each one in two to five words: 'Haircut', 'Balayage coloring', 'Keratin treatment', 'Bridal styling', and so on.

Add your town and working hours. Say whether you take appointments only or can fit in walk-ins. If you work by appointment, mention whether you offer same-day or next-day availability.

Upload one or two clear photos. A photo of your space or of your work - with a client's permission - is enough to start. You can add more later.

Write your phone number and email so clients can contact you. This is the minimum to get started; you can add an online booking system later if you want.

Next steps after your first profile

Once your profile is live, add more photos of your work as you take new photos. Real examples help clients decide whether to contact you.

If you get inquiries through the contact form or booking system, respond quickly. People often choose the provider who replies first.

Update your availability if your schedule changes. If you are on holiday or fully booked, say so in your profile so people know when you can take new clients.

Add more detail to your service descriptions over time - for example, what products you use, whether you specialize in certain hair types, or if you offer color consultation. This helps you stand out as clients learn more about your work.
