Damian Gonzales — LOOK salon, San Antonio, TX
Success Story: A website that actually turns visitors into booked appointments.

The Business Issue at Hand: Friction & Visibility
LOOK Salon is known for premium work, a high standard, and a space that feels elevated without feeling intimidating.
That reputation is exactly why LOOK gets called for high-visibility moments in San Antonio, including getting brought in for Fiesta royalty prep. That kind of trust is earned.
The challenge was that the old website was not carrying that same level of confidence and prestige. In our pre-project survey, the site was described as “not an interactive site,=” meaning it was not doing enough to support business goals like consistent online booking and visibility
The Old Website:
That’s it. Just an informational banner on the web, no clear path forward for customers to book. This reflected a 41% rebooking rate as well as a disproportionately older customer base
The New & Improved Website:
Within the first 3 months the new website had already attracted 133 new customers, representing $12,369.07 (yes we have the exact report) along with immediately improving booking rates by 5% (bumping annual forecasted revenue from $753,114 to $871,622!
Booking Flow That Customers are now Greeted with:

With this simple, sexy, yet effective new flow, customers can find their favorite service in seconds, rather than scrolling through ugly and cluttered booking widgets (talking about you Vagaro…)
Needless to mention, we at Alivio aim to maintain a high level of humility and collaboration in hopes of delivering a founder-led, authentic, compelling, and profitable design. Our designs are driven by whatever existing information and intuition business owners can give us and further propulsed/ continuously optimized by real data feedback we get from customer behavior.
What Makes the Website Different (and why it fits a luxury salon)
Fiesta is a good example of how LOOK operates. When the city’s biggest season hits, clients want to look right, photograph well, and feel taken care of. LOOK showed that standard by being brought in for Fiesta Coronation Prep.
Most salon sites do not match that standard. They follow the same formula: pretty homepage, generic service list, booking widget, and lots of drop-off.
LOOK’s site was built to guide people into a booking, and that is where the competitive edge shows up.
