1. Crucial captions
First off, captions are crucial. They’re a great way to get your brand message across, show off your creativity, and connect with your followers. You can even use emojis or hashtags, or ask a question to get people talking. Just try not to be too clickbaity—you want to create captions that really resonate with your audience.
2. Scroll stopping design
Next, mix it up a bit! Scroll-stopping design is key on Instagram, so you need to keep things interesting. Try using different layouts and angles to showcase your products or services in a creative way. You could even use carousel posts to show off different treatments and products—or the salon and your team! Just make sure your post looks good—you want it to be eye-catching, visually appealing, and on-brand!
3. Call to action
Don’t forget your call-to-action (CTA)! This is where you tell your followers what you want them to do next. Maybe you want them to tag a friend, visit your website, or buy your product. Whatever it is, ensure it’s clear and aligns with your business goals. You don’t want to be too pushy, but you do want to create a sense of urgency that encourages your followers to take action.
4. Hashtags #
Make your content discoverable with hashtags! Use hashtags that are relevant to your target audience. What are their interests? What do their lifestyles look like? Use this insight to create hashtags that will help Instagram categorise your content and distribute it to the right audience!

Finally, make sure your post is top quality. Check for spelling and grammatical errors, make sure your images or videos are high-quality, and make sure everything is optimised for Instagram.
