Will it capture every photo on my salon's Facebook page?

No. It captures recent post images and other material that Facebook shows publicly without a login. Older galleries, restricted posts, comments and some full-resolution images may be unavailable. Check the page in a logged-out browser and move your strongest before-and-after work into recent public posts before submitting the URL.

Can the video focus on one stylist's portfolio?

The first video is cut from the public page alone, so it works best when recent posts clearly name the stylist and show that person's work. For later videos, you can add a prompt asking for a particular stylist, service or set of publicly visible portfolio images.

What video formats work for salon social posts?

Vertical videos render at 1080x1920 for full-screen short-form placements. Horizontal videos render at 1920x1080 for landscape placements. Both are produced at 30fps in H.264, and the soundtrack is normalised to -14 LUFS for consistent playback across posts and ads.

Can I use a trending sound with my before-and-after video?

Yes. The trending sound is handed over as a link so you can attach it inside the social platform when posting the salon transformation. It is not baked into the exported video, because baked-in audio does not count as using the platform's native trending sound.

Show your salon work in motion

Sizzledraft turns a hair salon's public Facebook page into a short video ad built around real before-and-after photos and stylist portfolio images. It captures public page content, matches the salon's visible branding and renders a ready-to-post H.264 video with normalised audio.

Can I make a salon video ad from a Facebook page?

Yes, if the salon page exposes enough useful material publicly. Sizzledraft opens the Facebook page in a headless browser and captures the visible cover photo, profile image, recent post images and about text. It then uses those real assets to build scenes around services such as balayage, precision cuts, curls or extensions. Before-and-after pairs work especially well because the change gives the video a clear visual sequence. The first video is cut from the page alone, so public captions and well-organised portfolio posts help determine what to feature. Facebook may require a login before showing older posts or full galleries. Those hidden items cannot be captured, so make the strongest client transformations public before submitting the URL.

What should a hair salon Facebook page show before I submit it?

Put the work you want advertised near the top of the public page. A strong recent post might show the starting hair, the finished result and a clear caption naming the service, such as copper colour correction or a textured bob. Keep the salon name and location readable in the cover photo or about text, and use a profile image that remains recognisable at small sizes. If several stylists have different specialties, publish separate portfolio posts instead of combining unrelated results in one collage. Check the page while logged out, because that is close to what the browser can access. If the best transformation disappears behind a login prompt, publish a public version before generating the first video.

How are salon before-and-after photos turned into a video?

Sizzledraft uses the salon's visible brand tokens and captured Facebook assets to author a scene, then renders it frame by frame. A typical salon sequence can open on the before photo, reveal the service name, move to the finished cut or colour and close with the salon identity drawn from the page. Vertical output is 1080x1920 for short-form placements, while horizontal output is 1920x1080. Both render at 30fps in H.264, with audio normalised to -14 LUFS. Later videos can accept a prompt, so you can request a focus on one stylist, a bridal styling portfolio or a specific colour service. Trending sounds are supplied as links to attach natively, rather than being baked into the file.

What the browser actually gets

Our browser captures the salon's public cover photo, profile image, recent public post images and visible about text. Facebook often places posts, captions and full-resolution media behind a login wall, so the first video can only use material available without signing in.

The common mistake

A common mistake is opening with the salon logo while the strongest colour or cut transformation appears later. Lead with the before image or finished result in the first three seconds, then add the salon identity after viewers understand the service.

Before-and-after photos sit across separate Facebook posts, making it hard to present one clear transformation in a short ad.
Portfolio posts often mix cuts, colour work and extensions without identifying which stylist or service the video should feature.
Facebook may hide useful client photos and captions behind a login wall, leaving only public posts available for the ad.
