Platform-specific strategies that drive bookings
Why it matters: Instagram is the #1 discovery platform for beauty services. Most clients will look at your Instagram before booking.
Your Bio Should Include:
- • What you do ("Loctician | Braider | Barber")
- • Where you're located ("📍 Atlanta, GA")
- • Your Crown Directory link ("Book below ⬇️")
Posting Schedule:
- • Reels: 2–3x/week (transformations, time-lapses, tips)
- • Carousels: 1x/week (before/after, education)
- • Stories: Daily (behind-the-scenes, polls, Q&A)
Reel Formula: Hook (0–2 sec) → Transformation (3–12 sec) → CTA with your Crown Directory link (13–15 sec). Keep it under 15 seconds for maximum reach.
