Per-stylist Portfolio Walls
Sectors // Overview

Hair salons sell the relationship. Signage should carry that relationship to the wall.

A hair salon builds its business on stylist-to-client relationships — regulars book with their stylist, new customers choose their stylist from a portfolio. Static wall-photos of decade-old work undermine the relationship-based brand. Hangar.Media integrates with booking systems (Phorest, Fresha, Timely, Shortcuts) to surface live appointment flow, per-stylist portfolio walls (Instagram-synced with consent), product-retail promotion and treatment-plan-in-progress signage for multi-service clients.

Sectors // What It Does

Built for how hair salons actually run.

The capabilities that matter in this sector — concrete, specific, and backed by the integrations your team already uses.

Appointment Flow // 01

Sarah at 2. Megan at 2:30. Both running on time.

Reception screens surface alias-only appointment flow — today's booked clients, assigned stylist, running-on-time status, next-chair-free countdown. Walk-in colour-touch-up enquiries get directed to available stylists. Regulars see their stylist is ready without queueing for the front desk.

Regulars see their stylist is ready. Walk-ins find the right stylist for a colour consultation.
  • Phorest, Fresha, Timely, Shortcuts booking integration
  • Alias-only client display (first-name + appointment-time)
  • Per-stylist running-on-time / behind status softening
  • Walk-in consultation routing for colour / cut / treatment enquiries
Stylist Portfolios // 02

Megan's curls. Tom's blondes. Annie's balayage.

Lounge and waiting-area screens rotate stylist-specific portfolio walls — each stylist's specialism showcased via their own Instagram content (consent-managed sync). New clients choose a stylist whose recent work matches what they want. Returning clients see their stylist's latest transformations. Taggbox integration handles cross-platform aggregation.

New clients choose the stylist whose recent work matches their goal.
  • Per-stylist Instagram-feed integration with consent
  • Specialism-led portfolio rotation (curls, blondes, balayage, barbering)
  • Before-after transformation content with client-consent
  • Taggbox multi-platform aggregation for Pinterest + TikTok content
Retail Up-Sell // 03

The bond-builder Megan used. At checkout.

Wash-station and checkout-area screens promote retail products with stylist-endorsement context — 'the bond-builder Megan used on your colour-correction today' signage converts 2-3x higher than generic product promotion. POS-synced pricing with member-discount flagging for loyalty-club clients.

Retail attach climbs 2-3x when the screen says 'Megan used this on your hair'.
  • POS-synced product pricing with member-discount flagging
  • Stylist-endorsement context for today's treatment products
  • Service-matched retail promotion (colour-care for colour, repair for damage)
  • Pre-filled take-home kit prompts at checkout
Treatment-in-Progress // 04

Colour developing. 15 minutes. Retail while you wait.

Colour-developing and bleach-processing clients wait 30-90 minutes during treatment. In-chair or station-adjacent screens show treatment-progress countdown plus wait-activity content — magazine-style reading, retail promotion, upcoming-treatment-plan reminders, member-milestone content. Converts waiting-time into engagement-time.

45 minutes of colour-developing becomes 45 minutes of engagement, not waiting.
  • Treatment-progress countdown integration
  • Wait-activity content (magazine-style, retail, loyalty)
  • Upcoming-treatment reminders for multi-visit colour-correction
  • Tea / coffee / snack service prompts during longer treatments
Multi-Salon Chain // 05

National brand. Local stylist personality.

Hair-salon chains (Toni & Guy, Headmasters, Rush, regional chains) manage seasonal-campaigns centrally with per-salon autonomy for local-stylist showcases, community events and salon-specific retail promotions. Brand-template enforcement keeps visual consistency; local-salon content keeps individual-salon character.

Brand campaigns land nationally. Local stylists stay the stars of their salon.
  • Group-wide campaign rollout with per-salon dry-run
  • Per-salon local-stylist autonomy
  • Shared loyalty-programme with per-salon milestone tracking
  • Role-based permissions (HO, regional, salon-manager, stylist)

Sectors // Questions

Common questions. Straight answers.

Which hair-salon booking systems do you integrate with?

Phorest (dominant in UK+Ireland independents), Fresha, Timely, Shortcuts, Salon Iris, Mindbody Business and custom REST-API-compatible systems. We pull live appointment flow (alias-only by default), stylist-assignment data, treatment-type categorisation and loyalty-card progress. For salons running paper-diary systems, walk-in-queue-ticket management handles chair-status without migration.

How does stylist-portfolio Instagram sync work?

Each stylist's Instagram account (or studio-account with stylist-tag filtering) connects via consent-managed integration. Approved content appears on waiting-area and stylist-adjacent screens within moderation-cycle. Stylists control their own content visibility; salons enforce brand-safety moderation workflow. Taggbox integration handles multi-platform (Instagram + Pinterest + TikTok) aggregation for broader portfolio reach.

Can we show before-after transformations with client consent?

Yes — strictly consent-managed. Client transformation photos require opt-in consent at booking or via check-in workflow, with ability to withdraw at any time. Default state is blank — no client photos appear without explicit opt-in. Photos display alias-only (first-name only); client identification never surfaces on public-facing screens. Full audit log supports data-protection review.

Pricing for a hair salon?

£5 per screen per month. A boutique independent salon with 4 screens pays £20 per month. A 10-salon regional chain with 6 screens per salon pays £300 per month. A national 100-salon operator with 5 screens per salon pays £2,500 per month. All-in. No premium tier for salon-sector, no consent-managed-features surcharge.
