We have come up with some great tips to help you create the salon of your dreams and made it as easy as 1,2,3.

 

Decorating Your Suite in 3 Easy Steps

1. Brand – Your salon should be the best and easiest to read about who you are and what the client can expect while receiving a service.
   • Theme – The theme is the overall reoccurring idea that will resonate with your clients. If your brand is that you perfect clean, simple looks then going for bright colors, patterns, and many accessories would not be true to your brand. However, keeping things simple with black, white, and natural wood with easily maintained plants would be in keeping with your brand.
   • Art – Art is a great solution to add interest and define an area. As long as the art piece sticks to the theme, have fun. Try a larger piece to pull attention and act as an accent piece.
2. Color/Lighting – Ok, so this tip is two fold, but essentially they represent the same idea. Whether you are a manicurist or hair stylist keeping “true color” in mind when designing is crucial. If you paint and decorate your salon in a bright yellow then your color will not represent the true shade, but instead will have a yellow hue. The same is true for lighting. If you go with LED lighting, for instance, the hue cast will be blue or purple. When putting in lamps and lighting, be sure to get daylight bulbs that are most like the sun’s natural cast. By keeping your color and lighting as neutral as possible, you are keeping your clients mind at ease and there will be no surprises when they leave.
3. Layout – Plan out your salon. Before picking out that end table or accent chair, develop a layout for your salon. Go through a normal day in your services. What do your clients need to be comfortable? What do you need in order to keep a good flow? Going into a store with a strong layout can help prevent impulse buys and limit times you will have to make returns and move pieces.

The main tip that covers all is keep it simple. With these simple tips in mind, decorating your salon should be easy, breezy, and most importantly fun! Are you ready to put your design into action? Contact us now to start your very own salon.
