About White Ivy Studio
White Ivy Studio is a premium hair salon in Mulgrave, Melbourne, specialising in blonde hair, advanced colour work and complex colour transformations.
From lightening dark hair to correcting challenging colour, the studio delivers tailored results backed by specialist expertise. In 2020, White Ivy engaged Design Point Digital to bring that expertise online, improve search visibility and create a clearer pathway to booking an appointment.
Challenges
White Ivy’s website wasn’t reflecting the quality of its work. Potential clients needed to discover the salon, understand its colour expertise and find their way to an appointment. Several gaps were holding that journey back:
An outdated first impression.
The website needed a fresh design that reflected the studio’s premium service and attention to detail.
An unclear booking journey.
Visitors lacked clear prompts to take the next step and book an appointment.
Specialist services with limited visibility. Important searches around blonde hair, hair colouring and colour correction weren’t sufficiently covered.
Inconsistent organic growth.
Limited supporting content and weak authority signals made it harder to build a stronger search presence.
