Renovating a hairdressing salon isn’t something you can just wing! If you want to update the décor and furnishings of your salon, you’ll need to plan ahead to ensure you have enough time and money to see the work through to completion.
Above all, before you do anything, you need to have a clear idea of what you want and how to go about it.
Mysalondecoiffure, Europe’s leading online supplier of hairdressing furniture, offers advice on how to give your salon a new lease of life.
Step 1: Start with your salon’s identity to define a style
Defining a style is the first essential step in renovating a hairdressing salon. It may well be different from the old one, but this decision must be carefully considered.
When making a choice, you can of course rely on your own tastes and preferences, but these shouldn’t be the only factors to consider. In fact, you’ll also need to take into account your salon’s location (are you in a trendy or a younger neighbourhood?), the services you offer, and your clientele.
Do you know what their expectations are in this regard, for example? If not, it’s important that you take a moment to get a clear picture of your clientele (age, tastes, socio-professional background, etc.) so that you can make an informed choice. You can also ask them directly between washes or haircuts to find out what they think of the setting and what they appreciate about visiting a salon.
For a relatively young, trendy and fairly affluent clientele, for example, an industrial style (very fashionable at the moment) might be suitable, especially if you have a large space. You could also opt for a designer or vintage décor, which can work well in smaller spaces, or a modern, cheerful and colourful salon.
In any case, this initial choice will determine everything else (layout, décor, etc.).
Step 2: Create a genuine space for relaxation
Before you get round to furnishing the space (if you decide to refurbish your hairdressing salon), you’ll need to take a fresh look at the layout of your premises.
Here again, you need to ask yourself the right questions: as things stand, what’s working and what needs to be improved or revised?
Whatever you do, your clients should feel at home the moment they step into your salon, so that their visit becomes a truly relaxing experience.
You must therefore avoid clutter at all costs and ensure a clear route for moving from one area to another.
Pay particular attention to the reception area, especially if customers might have to wait there for a while. Is there enough space for chairs? Is the setting pleasant? Is there a coffee table or a magazine rack?
The shampoo station area should also be given special attention. If possible, position it slightly off to one side (but prominently enough so that it’s immediately visible upon entering) and allow enough space to create a comfortable atmosphere.
Step 3: Redesigning the space from floor to ceiling
Once the areas have been redefined, the refurbishment of your hairdressing salon continues with work from floor to ceiling.
You can choose a different floor covering (concrete, linoleum, tiles, parquet) and perhaps repaint the walls and/or ceiling.
For an industrial-style look, you can combine different materials such as concrete, parquet and metal, so feel free to play around with textures or add exposed beams, calling on an interior designer if needed.
For a vintage or designer style, keep things fairly understated where possible, with white walls and tiled or parquet flooring.
Step 4: Hairdressing furniture and small decorative touches
Next, move on to the furnishings, which should be chosen to complement your new style, both in terms of materials and colours.
Choose a maximum of two or three colours that will complement your refurbished workspace, and opt for high-quality professional-grade items, paying particular attention to dimensions and design.
Mysalondecoiffure makes this step easier by offering hundreds of high-end products in its online shop (shampoo basins, hairdressing chairs, styling stations, etc.) in all styles, available in a wide range of colours, and with features such as air massage for shampoo basins.
All at unbeatable online prices, offering excellent value for money.
Finally, pay attention to the little decorative touches: a vintage poster here, a light fitting or illuminated letters there… Every detail counts when it comes to putting your customers at ease.
For example, don’t hesitate to create an intimate atmosphere around the shampoo basins, with softer lighting, and make sure you have the necessary equipment (a Bluetooth speaker, for instance) to play some pleasant background music.
