Fix these first
Use a close photo of a finished set as the profile picture, and put the salon name and the area in every bio so people nearby know where to find you.
Add a Book or Message button to every profile and make the opening hours match what is on Google Maps.
Shoot every post by the same window with one plain surface under the hand, so the feed looks like one salon instead of a scrapbook.
