    Check the approved design, images and buttons before sharing the link.

  2. Check your web address

    Confirm the live link under Web address in your console. If you own the domain, follow the DNS instructions there.

  3. Check your salon details

    Confirm your name, phone, address, introduction and social links. Try call and directions on the live site.

    These appear on your site and shape booking availability.

  6. Check your team

  9. Try the site chat

    Ask about your hours, prices or location and tell Lustre if an answer needs correction.

    Check your plan and billing details. During a free trial, add a card before it ends to keep your site online.
