Apple Maps Ads for Hair Salons in California.
Get in front of every person who just moved, just switched, or just needs an appointment today. We run it across Los Angeles, San Diego, San Francisco and anywhere else in California you draw customers from.
Salon searches spike when someone relocates or has a last-minute need. Both are pure discovery moments with no incumbent — which is exactly where a map ad wins. California has the highest iPhone concentration in the country, which makes Apple Maps the default discovery surface for a huge share of nearby searches. New advertisers can qualify for a $150 Apple Maps Ads credit.
What a California hair salon needs first
The place card is the ad. We fix these before any budget goes live.
Set the hair salon category and add specialties (color, extensions, curly hair) to the description.
Add online booking as a place card action; salons lose bookings to voicemail more than anything else.
Show stylist work in the photo set, not just the salon interior.
List pricing ranges to filter out mismatched clients before they book.
Keep same-day availability accurate if you accept walk-ins.
