The design of a hairdressing salon cannot be left to chance! Whether it’s the layout, the choice of furniture or the décor, everything must be carefully thought out to achieve the desired effect. It’s important to offer your customers a high-quality setting that promotes a sense of well-being…
In this article, we’ll give you some useful tips on how to fit out your salon and create the right atmosphere.

Deciding on the décor style for your hair salon
First and foremost, it is important to decide on the style of your hairdressing salon so that you have a clear guiding principle.
The main trends in France are as follows:
- vintage/retro
- modern/trendy
- design
- industrial
- Baroque
- Scandinavian
If you’re torn between several options, look beyond your personal tastes and consider your clientele. Who is your target audience? Where is your salon located?
For a chic and sophisticated atmosphere, you could opt for a modern or designer style; for a trendy salon, vintage, industrial, Baroque and Scandinavian styles are all well worth considering…
A second factor to bear in mind is the atmosphere you wish to create. Do you want your clients to feel special when they walk into your salon? Do you want to offer them an oasis of well-being? Or give them a boost in the middle of a busy week?
All these factors will influence the style you choose.
In any case, bear in mind that your décor and furnishings must be consistent with your initial choice.

Choosing the right colours and materials...
When it comes to decorating a hair salon, you’ll always start by choosing the colour of the walls, ceiling and floors.
For the walls and ceiling, opt for light shades to make the space feel larger, and dark shades to make it feel smaller and create a more intimate atmosphere.
For a small hairdressing salon, you should therefore stick to light shades, bearing in mind that you don’t have to stick to white. It’s perfectly possible to choose a lovely blue or light green, which will reflect the light beautifully and have a calming effect!
For the floor, you could, of course, opt for tiles (ivory or even black), but you might also consider a lovely wooden floor or a concrete floor. These last two options would be perfect for a salon with an industrial-style décor, which relies heavily on a mix of materials!
As for the hairdressing furniture, depending on the chosen style, you can add touches of colour to the hairdressing chairs and waiting chairs.
The main materials for counters and styling stations will be wood (painted or natural) and plastic.
... and high-quality hairdressing furniture!
Finally, of course, choosing the right hairdressing furniture is essential to perfect the style of your salon and ensure maximum comfort for your clients.
You should therefore source it from a specialist wholesaler (such as Mysalondecoiffure), in a style that will blend seamlessly with your chosen décor.
When it comes to design, depending on the desired atmosphere, you can allow yourself a touch of whimsy. The key is that your hairdressing chairs and furniture are elegant and, above all, of professional quality.
For chairs, look for models with hydraulic pumps to adjust the seat height; for shampoo basins, comfort and ergonomics (particularly around the basin) are essential.
What makes for good hairdressing furniture? Equipment that’s comfortable, functional and stylish!
Finally, of course, don’t forget to pay attention to the lighting to create a more intimate atmosphere in the shampoo area and a more dynamic one in the styling area, and pay particular attention to the small decorative touches: choose a few high-quality items and showcase them to make your salon stand out!
All these elements will help you create the décor for your hair salon. A high-quality setting where it’s a pleasure to spend time, both as a client and as a professional.
