Overview: What is Facebook Live?

Facebook launched its Live feature in 2016. Anyone could go live on Facebook from anywhere in the world in a very simple way.

This form of video content allows raw and authentic broadcasting through Facebook. At the touch of a button, you can broadcast compelling videos, giving subscribers a chance to "connect" to your salon or beauty salon, live.

Facebook Live enables two-way conversations between your establishment and your customers, with real-time comments and emoji feedback.


How to use Facebook Live for your hair salon or beauty salon?

Doing Facebook Live from a phone and a computer can be two very different things. The easiest way is via smartphone, and it couldn't be simpler: you press a button and you're live.

Step 1: Before Facebook Live


Keeping in mind your subject and your target audience (your salon's customers and potential customers), you will try to generate as much expectation and awareness as possible on your live. 

You also need to prepare your theme, and maybe a script or a list of talking points for the live.

  • Synchronize your timing with your subscribers by checking the "Insights" section of your Facebook page to find out when your target audience is usually online.
  • Why not start a live test in a small Facebook group to familiarize yourself with live video.

Step 2: During Facebook Live

At the scheduled time, make sure that the quality of your video and sound is correct and check your Internet connection. Also pay attention to the lighting. An easy way to do this is to stand in front of a window and make your video during the day.

To reduce your stress during Live and avoid forgetting what you intended to say, make sure you have at least one ending script in front of you, so that you can always end Live,without forgetting important announcements or calls to action you have planned.

Keep in mind that live video stays on Facebook long after the broadcast is over, so you need to create an enjoyable experience that people will want to watch over and over again.

Step 3: After the Facebook Live

If you recorded the live broadcast, it can be replayed, you can also extract it and use it on other channels ( Youtube, IGTV Instagram... ).

Finally, create a report to summarize your Live in terms of goals, preparation, statistics and points for improvement. This will help you prepare for your next Facebook Live.
