About this tool
Ready prompts for salon offers, reminders and before-after captions, with SMS segment and channel character limits.
Salon Marketing Prompt Pack fills ten ready-written AI prompts — offers, appointment reminders, before-and-after captions, rebooking nudges, review requests, stylist introductions, quiet-day fillers, cancellation-policy notes, package pitches and Google Business Profile updates — with your salon name, city, service and booking line, and stamps each one with the real character budget for its channel. SMS budgets come from GSM 03.38 itself: 160 characters in a single 7-bit segment, 153 per segment once a message concatenates, dropping to 70 and 67 the moment a single emoji or non-Latin character forces UCS-2. Other channels carry their published caps — WhatsApp 1,024, Instagram 2,200, Google Business Profile 1,500, in-salon poster 220.
Open Salon Marketing Prompt Pack on AltFTool — it loads instantly in your browser.
Fill in "Salon type", "Offer/service" and "Audience" — the defaults are a hair salon running a monsoon hair repair package for local working professionals.
Set "Channels" to the places you actually post (Instagram, WhatsApp, Google Business); the "Prompt pack" panel rebuilds with your business, offer, audience and channels stamped at the top.
Press "Copy output" to take all four prompts — Instagram caption (5 options with a booking CTA), WhatsApp broadcast, Google Business post under 120 words, and review replies — into your AI assistant.
Segment counting follows GSM 03.38 — extension-table characters like {, }, [, ], ~, \, ^ and € cost two septets each, and one non-GSM character drops the whole message to UCS-2 and 70 characters.
The review-request prompt forbids offering a reward or asking only happy clients, the quiet-day SMS requires STOP opt-out wording, and the before-and-after prompt requires stated client consent and bans permanent-result claims.
Any {{placeholder}} you leave blank is left in the text and listed as a warning, so a message with a missing price or booking line cannot be copied out and sent by accident.
160 characters if every character is in the GSM 03.38 7-bit alphabet. Longer messages are split into concatenated segments of 153 characters each, because a 6-byte user data header eats into every part.
An emoji is outside the GSM alphabet, so the whole message re-encodes as UCS-2, which fits only 70 characters in a single segment and 67 per segment when concatenated. That is why the reminder and review prompts explicitly instruct plain Latin characters and no emoji.
WhatsApp is treated as 1,024 (stay under about 1,000 to avoid the 'Read more' collapse), Instagram captions cap at 2,200 characters with 30 hashtags but only about the first 125 show before 'more', Google Business Profile posts cap at 1,500 with the first ~150 doing the work, and an in-salon poster is budgeted at 220 so it reads from two metres.
No — it produces the prompt, which you paste into the AI assistant of your choice. Everything is assembled in your browser with no AI call and no data sent anywhere, so you always see and can edit the instruction before any model reads it.
