What goes on your profile page
Your Websta profile is a single page that works like a small website. It should contain enough information for someone searching for a hairdresser to decide whether to contact you. Start with clear sections: a short description of what you offer, your services list with descriptions, a gallery of your work, your contact details, and a way for customers to book or request a quote.
For a hairdresser in Czechia, the most important parts are photos and an accurate service list. Customers want to see what you can do - colour work, cuts, treatments, styling for events - before they call. Write service descriptions that explain what is included; for example, 'Cut and blow-dry' or 'Hair colour with cut' tells people what to expect. Keep descriptions short and factual.
Photos and gallery
Include a profile photo of yourself (professional, clear), photos of your workspace or salon, and a gallery of finished work. Customers search for hairdressers partly by looking at what previous clients look like after their visit. Update photos regularly so your page reflects what you are doing now.
If you work from home or a rented chair, show that space clearly. If you work in a salon, include a photo of the salon interior if possible. Before and after photos are standard for colour and styling work - these matter more than photos of you alone.
Languages and local search
Publish your profile in Czech and English. Most customers searching for a hairdresser in Czechia use Czech, but many search in English too, especially in Prague and other larger towns. Websta profiles appear in local search - when someone types 'hairdresser near me' or 'kadeřnice' in their location, profiles in that area show up in the marketplace.
Use common search terms in your service descriptions: 'střih' (cut), 'barvení' (colour), 'péče o vlasy' (hair care), and the town or district where you work. This helps people find you when they search by service and place.
Booking and quote requests
Decide whether you want to offer online booking, a contact form for quotes, or both. Many hairdressers in Czechia take bookings by phone or message first to discuss what the customer wants, especially for colour or complex cuts. A Websta profile can include both - a booking button for standard services and a contact form for custom requests.
Include your phone number and email so customers can reach you directly. If you are booked weeks ahead, say so in your profile - it sets expectations. If you offer same-day or next-day appointments, mention that too.
How people search for hairdressers in Czechia
In Czechia, people search for a hairdresser in several ways. Some use Google Maps and type 'kadeřnice' or 'holič' plus their town name. Others ask friends for recommendations or check social media. Websta's marketplace is another channel - people can search for hairdressers by service and location, and post tasks asking for offers.
Your profile page has its own web address that you can share on Instagram, Facebook, or in messages. This gives you a central place to send people instead of directing them to different platforms. Customers can also find you through Websta's marketplace search if you choose to be listed there.
Working as an independent hairdresser in Czechia
If you work as a sole trader (OSVČ - osoba samostatně výdělečně činná), you must be registered with the Czech tax office. If you rent a chair in a salon, check your contract - some salons do not allow independent bookings or external clients. If you work from home, check with your local office whether you need permission from your landlord or municipality.
Payments from customers come to you through Websta's payment system, which uses Stripe. The money is transferred to your own Czech bank account. You are responsible for invoicing, VAT if applicable, and reporting income to the tax office - Websta does not do this for you. If you are unsure about your obligations, contact your local tax office or a business advisor - rules depend on your registration type and turnover.
What to write in the first hour
Start by writing a short profile description - two or three sentences about what you do and who you serve. Example: 'I offer cuts, colour, and treatments for all hair types. I have been working as a hairdresser for X years and specialise in [your focus - e.g. colour correction, curly hair, or bridal styling].'
Next, list your main services with brief descriptions. If you offer cuts, list them separately - 'Men's cut', 'Women's cut', 'Child's cut' - so customers can find what they need. Add colour services, treatments, or styling if you offer them. Upload at least three to five photos: your profile photo, your workspace, and two or three examples of your work. Add your phone number and email. This takes about an hour and gives you a working profile that customers can find and contact.
Frequently asked questions
- Do I need a salon to have a Websta profile?
- No. You can have a profile whether you work in a salon, rent a chair, or work from home. Be clear about your location so customers know where to come. If you are renting space, check your agreement - some salon owners have rules about independent bookings.
- What happens when a customer books through my profile?
- If you offer online booking, the customer books a time slot and receives a confirmation. If you use a contact form, they send you a message and you reply to discuss details. Either way, you handle the appointment yourself. Payments are processed through Stripe and paid to your bank account.
- Can I upload a profile from the public business register?
- Some profiles in Czechia are created from the public business register. If one exists under your name, you can claim it and update it with your own information and photos. Alternatively, you can create a new profile from scratch.
- What language should I use on my profile?
- Use Czech and English. Most customers in Czechia search in Czech, but offering English as well helps you reach more people, especially in Prague and larger towns, and takes little extra time.
- Do I need to offer online booking, or can I just take inquiries?
- You can choose. Many hairdressers use a contact form so customers describe what they want before booking - this helps with complex requests like colour work. Others offer online booking for standard services. You can use both on the same profile.
