Beauty specialist profile page in Romania: what to include

What your profile page should contain

Your Websta profile is a dedicated page for your business. Unlike a social media profile, it functions as a simple website where clients make contact and book time with you. For a beauty specialist, this means having clear sections that show what you do, where to reach you, and how to arrange an appointment.

Start with a profile photo - a clear headshot or professional image of yourself. Clients want to see who they are booking with. Add a short description of what services you offer and your experience level. List the specific services you provide: hair cutting, coloring, extensions, makeup, manicure, pedicure, threading, waxing, lash services, facials or other treatments. For each service, state what it includes and write a brief description so clients understand what to expect.

Include a photo gallery with images of your work - finished haircuts, nail designs, makeup looks or before-and-after photos from treatments. These images are the main way potential clients evaluate your skill. Aim for clear, well-lit photos that show the actual result.

Add a contact section with your phone number, email and physical address or the area where you work. If you work from a salon, include the salon name and address. If you are mobile or work from home, specify the neighborhoods or towns you serve. This matters because people search for beauty services by location.

Set up online booking or a quote request form. Booking lets clients reserve a time slot directly. A quote request form is useful if your services take variable time or if you prefer to discuss details before confirming. Both features handle the back-and-forth that scheduling requires.

Photos that work for beauty services

Photos are your main sales tool. For hair services, show different hair types, lengths and colors to demonstrate range. For nail work, photograph nails up close so details are visible. For makeup, include full face and close-up shots. For skincare or waxing, use before-and-after images if the client has approved sharing them.

Make sure photos are recent, well-lit and honest. Poor lighting, filters or heavily edited images undermine trust. Clients want to know what they will actually get. If you have worked with diverse client types - different hair textures, skin tones, face shapes - show that range. This tells potential clients whether you have experience with their needs.

Languages to publish your profile in

Publish your profile in Romanian. This reaches the vast majority of your potential clients in Romania. If you speak English, adding an English version can attract expat clients or tourists, but Romanian is essential.

If you work in a city with significant immigrant or expat populations - such as Bucharest, Cluj-Napoca, Timisoara or Constanta - consider whether your existing clients include non-Romanian speakers. If they do, adding English or another language may be worth the effort. However, Romanian alone is sufficient for most beauty specialists.

How people in Romania search for beauty services

People in Romania look for beauty specialists in several ways. Some search online by service type and location - for example, 'hairdresser Bucharest' or 'nail salon Cluj'. Others use marketplace platforms like Websta, where they can browse providers by service and town, or post a task and let providers make offers.

On Websta, the beauty services marketplace shows providers by category and location. When someone searches for a beauty specialist in your town, your profile appears if it matches their search. Your location accuracy matters: specify the exact town or neighborhood where you work. If you serve multiple towns, list them all.

Word of mouth and social media still drive many appointments in Romania, but having a professional online presence - where someone can verify your services, see your work, and book directly - builds confidence. People often search online first to see if a provider exists and what they offer before calling.

What to arrange as an independent beauty provider in Romania

If you work as a sole trader or freelancer in Romania, check what registration, licensing or permits your specific service requires. Beauty services regulations vary by type - some services may require formal training certificates or hygiene permits, while others have fewer formal requirements. Contact your local chamber of commerce or the prefectural authority in your county for exact rules for your service type.

Payment is handled through Stripe, the card payment processor. Card payments go directly to your own bank account that you link to Websta. You set the price for each service. Keep records of all income for tax purposes.

If you work from a salon or shared space, confirm with the owner or manager that you can list the address and accept clients there. If you are mobile, clarify which areas you cover and whether clients come to you or you travel to them. This affects how you describe your location and service area on your profile.

Liability and insurance are your responsibility. Some beauty services carry professional liability or equipment damage risks. Check whether your work requires insurance and obtain it if necessary.

What to write in your first hour

Start with the essentials: your name, a clear profile photo, and a one-paragraph description of who you are and what services you offer. Write in plain Romanian - for example, 'Sunt frizeur cu 5 ani de experienta in tunsuri si vopsit' (I am a hairdresser with 5 years of experience in cutting and coloring). Avoid vague claims.

List your main services and add brief descriptions. If you do hair cutting, state whether you work with all hair types or specialize in certain types. If you offer nail services, list manicure, pedicure, extensions or nail art as relevant.

Add your phone number, email, and physical address or service area. Be specific about location - give the town, neighborhood or area you serve, not 'Romania'.

Upload 3 to 5 of your best photos of finished work. These do not need to be perfect professional photography, but they must be clear and show your actual results.

Once this is live, you can add more photos, refine your service descriptions, and set up booking or quote request forms. The profile does not need to be complete on day one, but these basics let potential clients find you and understand what you do.

Working across multiple towns

If you serve more than one town in Romania, list all of them on your profile. You can specify travel distance or areas covered. This matters because clients search by location - someone in Timisoara will not find you if your profile only says Bucharest. Websta's location feature lets you set multiple service areas, so use this if you work across different towns or regions.
