A few decorating ideas to try in your hair salon

Have you just found a new premises and need to fit it out? Would you like to give your salon a fresh new look? Here are a few decorating ideas for your hair salon to help you create a unique style and stand out from the competition.

From choosing colours to selecting furniture and lighting, follow our guide!

Define the different areas and the style of your hair salon

If you’re fitting out a new premises, try to visualise the different areas (reception, waiting area, shampooing area, styling area) and ensure a smooth flow between them. Ideally, your customers should have a clear overview of your entire salon as soon as they walk in. Opt for light colours and low-set furniture to maximise natural light, although you can still define the space by creating a darker area at the back of the room.

To create the right atmosphere for your hair salon, do have a browse through interior design magazines and draw inspiration from current trends. Cosy, vintage, Scandinavian, industrial: there’s no shortage of styles – you just need to find the one that suits you!

Choose your colours and materials

Our first tip for decorating your hair salon is to stick to three colours, otherwise you risk creating a cluttered look.

You could opt for a palette of neutral tones, combined with wood, to create a cosy, snug atmosphere. If you prefer the industrial style, combine exposed brick walls with dark wooden flooring and furniture that blends metal and wood. For a chic, minimalist look, go for black and white, with a touch of red or green (see the DARIO RGB armchairs, for example).

Choose high-end furniture that complements the ambience

Add the finishing touches to the lighting and décor of your hair salon

Have you laid the flooring, painted the walls and installed the furniture in your salon? All that remains is to add the finishing touches to your décor – the touches that will set you apart from your competitors and make your customers want to come back.

To this end, remember that lighting is essential in a hairdressing salon. Not only does it enable you to work in the right conditions, but it also plays a key role in creating the salon’s atmosphere. Avoid harsh lighting; opt for warm lighting instead, and try to create small, intimate spaces using mood lighting.

When it comes to décor, choose the pictures and ornaments you display with care: they should complement your chosen theme and colour scheme, whilst reflecting your personality. Avoid overloading the walls and shelves, unless this is an integral part of your salon’s style.
