Salons, barbers and spas
Salon and barber marketing that keeps the chairs booked
Clients pick a stylist from photos and reviews, then book from their phone in a minute. MarketPup makes that path short: your work on show, your booking link everywhere, and reminders that bring regulars back.
In short: For salons, barbers and spas, MarketPup puts your work, reviews and booking link everywhere clients look, and brings regulars back with reminders. The usual fit is the Fetch plan at $699 a month, month to month, after a free Mini Sniff. MarketPup is based in Charlotte, NC and works with businesses across the United States.
How clients choose a salon or barber
For beauty and grooming, the photos are the pitch. People scroll your profile and social posts to see if your style matches theirs, read a few recent reviews, and book wherever booking is easiest. A great stylist with no booking link on their map listing loses that client to the shop down the street that has one.
What we'd fix first
- Your booking link on every profile. Google, Apple and Bing maps, Yelp and your site all point to the booking tool you already use.
- Services and prices listed. Cuts, color, nails or treatments named the way clients search for them, with starting prices if you share them.
- Fresh photos of your work. We add the photos you send each week. Before-and-after shots go up only with your client's permission.
- Recent reviews. A QR card at the front desk and a one-tap review link, so happy clients can leave a review before they leave the chair.
Ongoing work that suits salons
- Social posts on Instagram and Facebook, 12 a month, built from your photos and scheduled after your OK.
- Rebooking emails. A welcome note for new clients and a friendly win-back note for regulars who haven't been in for a while.
- Local ads on Instagram, Facebook or Google, aimed at your neighborhood, with a flat management fee.

Questions
Do you replace my booking software?
No. We link to the booking tool you already use and make sure clients can find it from your map listings and site.
Can you post before-and-after photos?
Yes, from the photos you send, and only when your client has said yes to being shown.
Do you work with booth renters and solo stylists?
Yes. A single chair needs the same basics: a clear profile, a booking link and recent reviews.
