Have these ready and posting takes just a few minutes:
- Clear photos of your item, taken in good light.
- The brand, model and age of the item, if you know them.

Want premium homepage visibility for your brand? Display and banner ads are also available. Contact the Hair and Beauty Trader team to discuss options.
Step 4: Pick the right category
Choose the category buyers are most likely to browse. A styling chair goes in Hairdressing, a beauty couch in Beauty, and a vacancy in Recruitment. The right category puts your ad in front of the right people.
Step 5:Write a clear title and description
Your title is the first thing buyers see. Lead with the brand and the item, for example “Takara Belmont styling chair, black, excellent condition”.
In the description, cover:
- Condition, including any marks or faults.
- Size, colour and key features.
- Why you’re selling.
- Whether buyers collect, or you can deliver.
Step 6: Add photos
Ads with good photos get far more interest. Add several shots from different angles, plus close-ups of any wear. Natural daylight and a clean background make a big difference.
Step 7: Set your price and location
Price realistically. Check similar ads on Hair and Beauty Trader to see what comparable items are listed for. Add your location so buyers know how far they’ll need to travel.
Step 8: Publish and reply quickly
Publish your ad and keep an eye on your messages. Buyers often contact several sellers at once, so the first to reply usually makes the sale.
Want more views?
Standard ads are free and move down the page as new ads are posted. If you want to stay visible for longer, add a Top Ad, Featured Ad or Combo boost to your listing.
