What sections your profile should have
Your Websta profile works best when it covers the basics clearly. Start with a short description of yourself - your experience, style or the types of clients you work with. This goes at the top and helps people understand what you offer before they scroll.
Add a services section that lists what you do. For hairdressers, this typically includes cuts, styling, colour treatments, perms or other specialities you offer. Keep the list honest and add only what you actually do. You can add more services later if your skills expand.
A photos section is essential. Include clear images of hairstyles you have done, your workspace or tools. Photos help potential clients see your standard of work. If you do not have professional photos yet, start with phone photos taken in good light.
The contact section should show how clients reach you - phone number, email, or the location where you work (salon, home-based, mobile). A contact form on your profile lets people send you a message directly through Websta.
Online booking or quote request options let clients reserve time without calling. If you prefer to discuss each booking by phone or message first, you can use a quote request form instead. Set this up based on how you like to work.
Photos that work on a hairdresser profile
Clients in Romania scroll through hairdresser profiles looking at photos first. A few good images matter more than many poor ones. Include before-and-after shots of hair work you have done - these show your skill. Add a photo of your workspace so people know what to expect when they arrive.
If you work from home, a photo of your chair and mirror is enough. If you work in a salon, show the relevant area. Avoid cluttered backgrounds. Natural light makes hair colour and texture visible more clearly than harsh indoor light.
Update photos every few months so your profile stays current. If you try a new technique or style, add a photo of it.
Languages to publish your profile in
Publish your profile in Romanian first. This is the main language people use when searching for hairdressers in Romania. If your clients include expats or you work in a tourist area, you can add English as a second language. Most clients will search and contact you in Romanian, so get that right before adding others.
How people search for hairdressers in Romania
People in Romania use Websta's marketplace to find hairdressers by searching for 'hair' services in their town or nearby area. They filter by location - they want someone close to home or work. Some search by specific service - for example, 'hair colour' or 'men's cut'. A few post a task describing what they need and wait for offers from hairdressers in the area.
This means your profile needs to be clear about your location and the services you offer. The more specific you are, the more likely the right clients find you. If you serve multiple towns, mention that. If you work only in one place, say so.
What to check with local authorities
Romania has rules for working as an independent hairdresser, but these rules vary by county and by whether you work in a salon, rented chair or from home. Before you set up your profile, check the requirements in your specific location.
Typical things to confirm: registration with the local tax authority, any licence or permit needed for your work, health and safety rules if you work from home, and whether you need professional liability insurance. The local chamber of commerce or your county's business office can tell you what applies to you. Having this sorted before you launch saves problems later.
What to write in your first hour
Start with the essentials. Write a one-paragraph description of who you are - for example, 'I do women's cuts, colour and styling' or 'Men's barbering, traditional cuts'. Add your location - the town and, if useful, a neighbourhood or street. List five to eight services you offer most often.
Take or find one or two clear photos of your work or space. Upload them. Add your phone number and email. This takes about an hour and gives you a working profile. People can see what you do and reach you.
From there, build slowly. Add more photos when you have them. Write more detail about your approach or experience if it matters to your clients. Test the booking or quote system to make sure it works for you. You do not need everything perfect on day one.
Building trust on your profile
Clients in Romania choose a hairdresser based on photos of work, location, and how easy it is to contact and book. Once you have clients, they can leave feedback on your profile. Start collecting feedback after a few bookings - it takes time to build but it matters.
Keep your profile up to date. If your phone number changes or you move location, update it right away. If you stop offering a service, remove it. Small details like this build confidence with people who have not worked with you yet.
