Setup Checklist for Your Lustre Salon Site

Opening the setup checklist

Choose Setup checklist in the console menu, or press Open setup checklist on the Site page. The page is headed Get your salon ready and shows how many site essentials you have checked, how many optional tools are done, and how many you have marked as not using.

Every step has an Open button (for example Open Hours) that takes you to the right section. Anyone can also read the public setup guide without signing in.

Check your live site

These steps cover the basics. Check them even if Lustre filled them in for you:

Open your site on a phone. Check the design, images and buttons before you share the link.
Check your web address. See Web address.
Check your salon details. Name, phone, address, introduction and social links, under Content. Try the call and directions buttons on your live site.
Confirm your opening hours under Hours.
Confirm services and prices under Services.
Check your team under Team, and add each stylist's email if they need to sign in.
Check your images and logo under Content.
Check reviews and Google listing under Reviews.
Try the site chat. Ask it about your hours, prices or location. If an answer needs correcting, email hello@airea.co.nz.
Review your plan under Billing. During a free trial, add a card before it ends to keep your site online.

If you want online bookings

Choose how clients pay. Pay at the salon needs no Stripe account. Connect Stripe for online card payments, deposits or saved cards. See Getting paid.
Set booking rules: services, durations, notice, staff, reschedule window, extras and closed dates, then switch bookings on. See Booking settings.
Make one test booking from your live site, check the confirmation and the owner notice, then cancel it from Bookings.

Other tools you can choose to use

Set up walk-ins. See Walk-in queue.
Set up before and after photos. See Capture app.
Connect Telegram for chat questions and photo approvals on your phone. See Telegram.
Connect Instagram to show your posts on your site. See Instagram.
Bring over your client list. See Importing clients.

Ticking off and skipping steps

Tick the box beside a step once you have checked it. Untick it to put it back on your list. For optional tools you don't want, press Not using. Press Use this to bring a skipped tool back.
