Set Up Your Profile
1. Go to www.pinterest.com and select “Create a business account” at the bottom of
the white box.
2. Pinterest will then walk you through several prompts before your profile can be
setup, including:
— Select your language and country
— Add your business name and Tell us about your business
— Link to your website
— Connect your other accounts to Pinterest. The platform allows you to link an
Instagram, Etsy and/or YouTube account. If your salon has any of these and wishes
to connect the two, feel free to do so where relevant. Alternatively, you can also
select “Later” to skip this portion.
— You will be asked, “Would you ever be interested in running ads on Pinterest”?
Select “No, I’m not planning to advertise”. (Disclaimer: Salons can run Pinterest ads
at their own discretion)
— Choose topics that best describe your business. Relevant options would include
hairstyles, makeup, nails, and whatever else you see fit!
— Get browser button. This is an unnecessary step; you can click on “Skip” at the
bottom of the window.
3. Create pins using images from your site. As a salon, you can choose to “Create”
or “Skip.”
