Making decisions on the look of your salon can be a huge task, as you are probably trying to reflect yourself as a stylist, stay true to your brand and create a sanctuary for your clients. When taking all that in to account it can be tricky not to be side tracked, and that's without balancing health and safety and trends on top of it all!
So to make the task a little less daunting , we've put together our favourite tips on how to choose your salons decor and make the most of what space you have, whether a few feet or a 3 floored salon.
The first thing you need to decide on is the type of look you want to achieve; do you want something striking and dramatic, or would you rather go for something muted and classic? Do you want a dark and dramatic colour scheme, or something light and airy. Think about how this relates to the rest of your brand image, the image your stylists have and whether it fits in with your current clientele.
Once a mood or theme has been set upon, you then need to consider how to translate that into the space you have available to you. Space is key as you might have a fantastic vision of a minimalist salon with lots of open space, but that just isn't going to work in a small salon.
Also important to bringing your ideas to life is the lighting you choose, as if you get the right lighting level and tone it can completely change the mood of a salon. So look around at different wattages, filters and fittings to create an ambience which suits your salon and image.
Seating is also key in the salon, as it's where your clients will spend the majority of their time: waiting in reception, sitting at the backwash and being styled in front of the mirror. Think about comfort, as well as style- those bumpy natural wood chairs might look great, but probably won't be that comfy for someone sitting through a full head of foils!
Other than our tips, it's important to remember to enjoy salon design whatever you choose, as you're going to be spending more time there than at home, so it has to be somewhere you (and your clients!) love.
