As a Facebook template, you should select the "Services" template in the buy phone number list "Templates and Cards" box in the settings if you are a salon . If you sell salon supplies, then the "Shopping" template.

The logo should be your business logo and the cover photo can be a collage from your portfolio or a simple image with a short text.

In the page settings, click "Information" and complete or check the correctness of the data: phone number, website, email address, address and operating hours.
5. Setting up an automatic response
An automatic reply is important mainly because it is a direct contact with clients. If someone new contacts you, they expect an immediate response, but you don't have time to reply right away because you are working. In that case, you can set up an automatic reply that will be sent to each new message by itself. Click on "Settings", then on "Messages", where you can pre-fill the automatic reply. Done!
