Do I have to use online booking, or can I ask for a quote instead?

You can use either or both. Online booking works if you have set hours and know how long each service takes. Quote requests work if you prefer to discuss the job with the client first or if service time varies. Choose what suits how you work.

What language should I write my profile in?

Write your main profile in Slovenian, as that is what people in Slovenia search in. You can add an English translation if you want to reach expats or visitors, but Slovenian is the priority.

Do I need a licence to work as a hairdresser in Slovenia?

Check with your local business authority or tax office. Rules for trade licences and business registration can vary by region. You will need to register for tax purposes, but the exact requirements depend on how and where you work.

How many photos should I upload?

Start with at least five to eight clear photos showing different styles and colours you have done. Show front and side views so clients can see the finished work. Quality matters more than quantity - use good light and real examples of your work.

Can customers pay me directly, or does all payment go through Websta?

Customers can pay through Websta via card, and Websta pays the money to your own bank account through Stripe. You set the prices. You can also arrange other payment methods outside the platform if you both agree, but Websta's payment system is built in for bookings made through your profile.

Hairdresser profile page in Slovenia: what to set up

Updated October 21, 2026

What your profile page should contain

Your Websta profile is like a small website. People in Slovenia looking for a hairdresser will find you through search or the marketplace, and they land on your profile to learn what you offer. Build your profile in the sections Websta provides: a short description of you and your work, a list of services you provide, photos of your work, contact information, and a way for clients to book time slots or request a quote.

Photos matter most in hairdressing. Include at least five to eight clear photos showing different styles you have done - cuts, colours, styling for events. Take photos in good light and show the finished work from front and sides. Clients want to see real examples of your skill.

List your services clearly. Common service titles help people find you - write 'haircut', 'hair colouring', 'styling', 'perms', 'hair treatment' or similar depending on what you actually do. Do not list services you do not provide.

Languages for your profile

Publish your profile in Slovenian. This is the main language people in Slovenia use when searching for local services. If you speak English or another language and want to reach visitors or expats, you can add an English version of key sections - your description, service list, and contact information. Websta supports multiple languages on one profile.

How people search for hairdressers in Slovenia

People in Slovenia use online search and local service platforms to find hairdressers. They search for terms like 'frizerka' or 'frizer' plus their town or neighbourhood. Websta runs a marketplace where customers nearby can find providers by service and location and can post a task for providers to make offers on. Your profile appears in search results for hairdressing services in your area when someone looks for them.

Booking and quote requests

Decide whether you want to offer online booking, quote requests, or both. Online booking works if you have set hours and fixed service durations - for example, a haircut that takes 30 minutes. Clients can see your free time slots and book directly. Quote requests work if your service time varies - a complex colour and cut might take longer - or if you prefer to talk to the client first. With a quote request, the customer fills a form with details and you respond with a price.

What to sort out before you start

Working as an independent hairdresser in Slovenia means you are likely a sole trader or registered as a freelancer. You will need to register with the tax authority and set up your own banking so payments from clients can be received. Websta processes card payments from customers through Stripe and pays the money out to your own bank account - you set the prices for your services.

Check the following points with the local business authority or tax office in your region: whether you need a trade licence or business permit to work as a hairdresser, what your obligations are for tax registration and record-keeping, and whether there are specific health or safety rules for running a salon or working from home. Rules may differ slightly depending on whether you work from a salon, a studio, or your own premises.

What to write in the first hour

Start with what you can do now. Write a one or two sentence description of yourself - for example, 'I am a hairdresser with 10 years of experience in cuts and colouring. I work with all hair types.' Write the main services you offer. Take or gather three to four photos of your best work or work in progress. Add your location in Slovenia so people near you can find you.

Do not worry about making everything perfect on day one. You can add more photos, refine descriptions, and set up online booking later. The goal is to be visible to people searching for hairdressing services in your area.

Getting payments to your account

When a customer books or pays through Websta, the payment goes through Stripe to your own bank account. You keep control of your money and see transactions in your account. Make sure you have a bank account and that Stripe can connect to it - this is part of setting up your profile.
