ForaPost Catalog Maker for Salons: a service catalog with treatments and transformations

Why Catalog Maker works for salons

Salon content is inherently visual and transformation-based. Every client visit is a potential before/after post. Catalog Maker lets you organize your portfolio by service type, stylist, and technique, so your AI Manager creates varied posts instead of “another haircut photo.”

The Before / After media preference suits salons perfectly.

Primary use case

What to catalog: Client transformations (Social Proof), stylist spotlights (Person), technique explainers (Education), product recommendations (Product), and seasonal looks (Event).

Key features: Before / After for transformations, multiple image selection for portfolio variety, Custom tags for service types (Color, Cut, Styling).
