Put your salon portfolio in motion

Sizzledraft turns a hair salon website into a short video ad using real screenshots, brand colours and page content. It can feature before-and-after results, stylist portfolios, services and pricing without asking the salon to assemble a video by hand.

How can I turn my hair salon website into a video ad?

Submit the salon website URL and Sizzledraft drives a browser through the page, capturing real sections rather than rebuilding them from supplied claims. It can pull the hero, before-and-after galleries, stylist portfolios, service descriptions, starting prices and booking prompts into a branded scene based on the site's own colours and type choices. The first video is cut from the website alone, so the page should make the salon's strongest work easy to find. Later videos can accept a prompt, such as focusing on balayage, textured cuts or hair extensions. The finished file can be vertical at 1080x1920 or horizontal at 1920x1080, rendered at 30fps in H.264.

What should a hair salon video ad show first?

Lead with the visual proof that matters to the client you want to book. A colour salon might open on a clear correction or balayage before-and-after, while a curl specialist might begin with a finished shape shown from more than one angle. Follow that result with the stylist's name, the relevant service and a direct booking prompt. Avoid opening with a long exterior shot, a generic welcome message or a list of every treatment. Prospective clients usually need to see whether the salon produces the kind of hair they want. If the website contains several stylist portfolios, choose one service category or a small set of related results so viewers can understand the salon's strength without waiting through an unfocused gallery.

How do I use a trending sound in a salon ad?

Choose the visual cut first, then attach the trending sound inside the social platform when you publish. Sizzledraft hands over the sound as a link rather than baking it into the video file, because baked-in audio does not count as using that sound natively. This matters for salon edits timed around a colour reveal, fringe transformation or extension blend. The rendered audio is normalised to -14 LUFS, giving spoken lines and scored audio a consistent playback level before the native sound is added. Keep any voiceover concise enough that the result, stylist credit and booking action remain clear. If the trend changes, the same salon footage can still work with a different native track instead of requiring a new export.

What the browser actually gets

Our browser scrolls the full salon website and captures the hero, service features, pricing and portfolio sections as real screenshots. Long marketing pages need careful section picking because showing every service block, product mention and booking prompt can make the cut drag. Before-and-after images also work best when the page labels or pairs them clearly.

The common mistake

A common mistake is showing a rapid mix of unrelated cuts, colours, bridal styles and extensions with no clear service focus. Fix it by choosing one booking intent, opening with the strongest relevant before-and-after, then naming the stylist or service and ending on the salon's booking action.

  • Before-and-after photos sit across galleries, service pages and stylist profiles, making it hard to shape them into one clear video.
  • A stylist portfolio can look strong on the website but feel slow in an ad when every cut, colour and extension result receives equal screen time.
  • Service names, starting prices and booking details must stay readable while the video still moves quickly enough to hold a prospective salon client's attention.

Questions

Can it use before-and-after photos from my salon website?
Yes, when those photos are visible on the website, the browser can capture them as part of the page. Clearly paired before-and-after images produce a stronger sequence than separate gallery entries with no labels. Place the best transformation near the top of the relevant service or portfolio page so it is easier to select.
Can I make an ad for one stylist or service?
The first video is cut from the salon website alone, so dedicated stylist and service pages help establish that focus. For later videos, you can provide a prompt requesting a specific stylist, balayage, blonding, extensions, curls or another service represented on the site. The page still needs suitable images and accurate details to capture.
What happens if my salon website has a long homepage?
The browser can capture a full-page scroll, but including every section often slows the finished ad. Select the hero, strongest portfolio results, the service or price relevant to the campaign and one booking prompt. Repeated testimonials, product shelves and duplicate calls to book should usually be left out of a short salon cut.
How much does it cost to make salon videos?
You can buy two videos for $19 or subscribe for $39 per month for eight. A salon could use the set to separate campaigns by service, such as colour transformations, precision cuts, extensions and stylist introductions, instead of forcing every portfolio category into one ad.
