Link in Bio for Salons and Clinics: What to Include
A salon or clinic link in bio should include an appointment booking page with a full service menu and add-ons, a row for this month's offer or package, a free pre-visit guide that collects an email or phone number, and a location row with directions. For a salon the booking page is the business, so it belongs at the top. Salons and clinics on Viralyze build the menu once, connect Google Calendar for each chair or practitioner, and take payment upfront by UPI so no-shows drop.
What should a salon service menu on a bio page look like?
Exactly like the menu on your counter: services with time and price, plus add-ons a client can tick. The booking page in Viralyze is built around this structure, and the total duration and price combine as the client selects.
A sample menu for a skin clinic that also does hair:
- Consultation with dermatologist, 20 minutes, ₹500
- Hydrafacial, 60 minutes, ₹3,500
- Chemical peel, 45 minutes, ₹2,500
- Haircut and blow-dry, 45 minutes, ₹900
- Add-on: scalp treatment, 20 minutes, ₹700
- Add-on: under-eye care, 15 minutes, ₹800
A client who picks a hydrafacial and under-eye care sees 75 minutes and ₹4,300 before paying. Formats can be in person for treatments and phone or Google Meet for follow-up consults.
Does upfront payment reduce no-shows for salons?
In our experience, yes, because a paid slot is a commitment and a free slot is a maybe. The booking page takes UPI, cards or net banking upfront, sends a WhatsApp reminder before the appointment, and you set whether clients can cancel themselves and until when.
If you allow cancellation up to 24 hours before, the refund goes back automatically and the slot reopens. Late cancellations keep the payment, which is the policy most salons want but rarely manage to enforce by hand.
Three Auto-DM keywords for a salon or clinic
Treatment reels bring "price?" and "appointment?" comments, often at night when the front desk is closed. Keywords answer in about a second.
1. "BOOK" on any reel, using the any-post trigger, sending the booking page. 2. "PEEL" on a reel showing a peel result, sending a short explainer PDF with aftercare and the booking link, collecting an email. 3. "OFFER" on a reel announcing the monthly package, sending the package checkout.
Hindi and Hinglish comments like "price batao" are matched, and the reply can go out in the client's language. The public comment reply ("Sent you the details 💌") rotates between variations.
A sample DM for an appointment enquiry
"Hi, thanks for commenting BOOK. You can see all our services with times and prices, pick a slot and pay by UPI here: shre.pro/yourname/book. New clients get a 20-minute consultation first, ₹500, adjusted against your first treatment. We are at Koramangala, parking available."
Replies with questions land in the Inbox next to the comment, and every enquirer becomes a contact you can export when it is time to announce the next offer.
How do clinics manage more than one practitioner?
Connect Google Calendar once and choose which calendars block slots and where bookings go. A clinic with two dermatologists and one aesthetician can keep three calendars, and the booking page only offers times that are free on the relevant one.
Days off handle leave and conference days as single dates or ranges, and buffers give fifteen minutes between treatments for room turnover. Two-way sync means a walk-in added to Google Calendar at the desk blocks the online slot too.
Frequently asked questions
**Can a salon take bookings without a Facebook Page?** Yes. Bookings work from the Instagram account alone; Auto-DM needs an Instagram Business or Creator account and nothing more.
**Can clients reschedule on their own?** Yes. The confirmation page lets them add the appointment to their calendar, reschedule, or cancel within the rules you set.
**Is there a commission per booking?** No. Plans are flat, starting at ₹199 a month, with bookings, the booking page and Google Calendar sync included.
