Most salon owners we talk to are tired of paying 30% commissions to booking platforms just to get customers in the door. We believe nobody should get stuck behind because of technology. That's why we build professional salon websites for free—you only pay $1/day ($365/year) for hosting and support.
Why Instagram Isn't Enough Anymore
A Facebook or Instagram page is good, but it's not enough if you want new customers walking in. When someone moves to a new HDB estate and needs a haircut, they don't scroll Instagram—they search Google. If you don't have a website, you simply don't exist to them. You're leaving money on the table for the salon down the street that does have a website. Your Instagram shows your work, but your website proves your professionalism and captures the people ready to book today.
The Reality of Local Search
76% of people who search for something nearby on their smartphone visit a business within 24 hours. The salon market in Singapore is massive, generating over USD 1.2 billion annually. But it's highly competitive. If your salon doesn't appear when a potential client searches Google for a haircut in your neighbourhood, that revenue goes straight to your competitor.
Stop Paying 30% to Booking Apps
We hear this from salon owners all the time: 'The booking apps bring in customers, but the commissions are killing my margins.' When you're already dealing with high rent and paying your stylists, giving away 30% of a $150 color treatment hurts. A website lets you take direct bookings without sharing your profits. It's about keeping the money you earn. One business owner on Reddit put it perfectly when discussing delivery and booking apps: 'When a customer pays $41.50, the outlet receives $17.55...' The math just doesn't work for small businesses.
How the $1/Day Model Works
We know cash flow is tight, so we do it all for you with zero upfront cost. You don't have $3,000 to drop on a creative agency, and you don't have the time to fight with a DIY website builder on your only day off. You just pay $365 a year (that's $1 a day—less than your morning kopi) for hosting, maintenance, and support. If you need a change, just WhatsApp us.

The True Cost of a Salon Website
Building a website shouldn't drain your bank account or your weekends. Traditional agencies charge thousands upfront. DIY builders like Wix seem cheap until you realize you're spending 40 hours fighting with templates instead of cutting hair. With Breakfast Studios, there is $0 upfront and just SGD 365/year. It's completely done for you.
