Barbershop Website in Târgoviște, with Prices in Plain Sight, Not in Private Messages
Târgoviște takes its name from târg, the market: the place where goods are on display and prices are said out loud. In the barbershops of the old princely capital, though, the price has often stopped being said at all: the client finds it out only at the till. And when the barber is a former classmate or the neighbour from the same stairwell, asking “how much do you charge?” sounds too much like haggling, so the man either stays away, or comes and pays with a knot in his stomach.
MPO Web Studio builds websites for barbers, barbershops and hair salons in Târgoviște with the list of services and prices in plain sight and booking one tap away from it. You get the mockup, made under your salon's name, for free, and you judge it before any decision.

The price you don't ask a former classmate
Târgoviște is small enough that, for many clients, the barber is someone they know: a classmate from “Ienăchiță Văcărescu” or “Carabella”, the neighbour's son, the boy they played football with behind the block. That's exactly why “how much do you charge?” becomes awkward. The client doesn't want to look like he's haggling with an acquaintance or hoping for a “friend's price”, and the barber doesn't know whether to charge him what he charges everyone. The message never gets sent, and the man ends up at a barbershop where nobody knows him, but where the price was written down. What you lose isn't a stranger; it's the very client who would have recommended you. A posted price spares you both the conversation: he knows in advance what he'll leave at the till, and you no longer negotiate with friendship.
Between a Bucharest barbershop and the barber back home
Bucharest is close enough that many young people from Târgoviște have studied or worked there for a few years. They got used to barbershops where a haircut comes with a wash, styling and a hot towel, at a price they knew beforehand. When they come back home, for good or just for the weekend, they no longer know what to expect: does a fade cost here what it cost there, or what the old barber on the ground floor of the block charges? Is the wash included or extra? With those questions in mind, some put it off, others go to the first place that answers them without making them ask. For you, that's a client who knows what he wants and would come back regularly; he just needs to find out, before he walks in, what he gets for his money.
Like at the market: every service with its price beside it
On the site we build for you, the list of services is the first thing anyone sees when they open your link: haircut, haircut and beard, line-up, kids' cut, and on the salon side, cut, colour, styling. Next to each one sits the price and, on one line, what it includes: wash, styling, hot towel. The young man back from Bucharest no longer needs to ask what he gets here for his money, and the former classmate no longer needs to wonder whether he's getting a “mates' rate”. Where the price depends on hair length, we write it in steps, short, medium, long, instead of an “it depends” that would only lead back to private messages. We make the mockup for free, with your real services and prices, not placeholder numbers; an example built for salons is always available at mpowebstudio.com/demo/beauty. If it convinces you, the site starts from 290 € and goes live within a few days, with a single round of revisions included and a 7-day warranty from publication.
Frequently asked questions
I'm worried that once my prices are on the site, the barbershop on the next street will set theirs just below mine. Is it worth the risk?+
Anyone who asks once already knows your prices, competitors included; keeping them hidden doesn't protect you from them, only from the shy client. People rarely switch barbers over a small difference, but many give up when they have no idea what to expect. And whoever publishes a lower price has to stick to it. Your edge is what you put next to the figure: what the service includes, how long it takes, your own work.
Clients back from Bucharest want to pay by card, and I only take cash. Should I say so on the website?+
Yes, in one line, right next to the price list: “payment at the salon is cash only”. Booking needs no card and no account, just a name and a number, so nobody is asked to pay in advance. Someone used to paying by card finds out at home that he needs cash on him, not at the till with you standing there. If at some point you start taking cards too, that line changes.
My salon is near the “Valahia” University and I get a lot of students. Can I show a price for them without other clients feeling they're being charged more?+
Yes, on a separate line, with the condition written clearly, for example “students, with ID, Monday to Thursday”. A reduced price shown with its rule looks like an offer; one told only to some people, in private messages, looks like a favour, and the others feel the difference. Placed under the full price, not above it, it doesn't change what the rest of your clients understand about your list, and the student no longer has to ask whether there's any discount.
Some clients ask me for services I don't offer. Should the site say what I don't do?+
Yes, briefly and without apologising. A line like “we don't do perms and we don't dye beards” saves a wrong booking, a discussion at the chair and a client leaving unhappy. Anyone looking for exactly that service learns straight away to go elsewhere, and everyone else sees clearly what you're good at. An honest list of what you do and don't do inspires more trust than one that seems to promise everything.
